Our last sun sets on Maui as we take to the skies heading home.

The Road to Hana winds around the North side of the big part of the island. It’s about 30 miles to Hana but because there are so many beautiful sites along the road it takes all day.

The Garden of Eden is supposed to be a great arboretum, however, since we took the road on New Years Day it was closed.

One of the many great views along the road.

There were so many of these waterfalls you couldn’t possibly stop at them all. We did our best though.

Happy New Year folks! Best Wishes in ’07!

Golfing on the island of Lana’i was pretty rough. As you can see by the photo we had to deal with wind, rain, lightening and a total solar eclipse.

While the fellas were golfing the ladies got the spa treatment at the Four Seasons on Lana’i.

The course we played is called The Challenge at Manele. It’s a Jack Nicklaus designed course with a strong finish. It winds up and down the island of Lana’i which sits just west of Maui. It’s part of the Four Seasons resort on the island.

Coincidentally, there’s a spa at the resort for the ladies to beautify themselves while the men are out hunting. Transportation to and from the island goes by ferry boat (people only, no cars) and you pretty much tell the folks at the other end where you’re going and they put you on the appropriate shuttle bus. Busing is included with anything you do so just be sure you’re doing something while you’re there. Cars on uncommon on the island, I think there are maybe five or six, so the shuttle or walking is the only way to go.

On our second day of diving I caught this turtle on my handy dandy camera. The bubble noise is me breathing.

We’re finding life difficult in Maui. We’ve been diving all day and chilling all night. As you can tell, the water is uncomfortably warm and visibility is terrible. And it’s raining and windy on the surface. Pretty rough over all.

Yeah right! The weather is beautiful all the time with only an occasional rain shower that rarely messes up your day. Winds are generally calm and the diving, snorkeling and sunning are fantastic. We’ve got tons and tons of fish photos from our handy underwater cameras, we’ll share them as soon as I (Mark) get the photo album integrated into this web site.
