Beachbumz a good reason to return one day how about in 2020? Dan loves your mugs and Maui Rob's arrived yesterday. I get to open the boxes soon. Dan has to wait for an occasion. More photos of our visit with you two soon.

hang10tiki the trip was good in every way but the visit with Beachbumz and Maui Rob were the best times for the whole time.

I love sunsets and sunrises and how fun that you see them on your mornigh walks. We watched Anthony Bordain in Las Vegas last night and thought of you.

LoriLovesTiki oh Lori you have to go at lunch time. The ocean was spectacular.

WooHooWahine thank so much for sending us there. We enjoyed every aspect of this adventure. Even seeing the house that is next to the restaurant. Too bad the owners have so many tourists staring at their home.

===============================

More days on the island of Maui, Hawaii and boy were they fun.

We drove for a couple of hours to get to the national park. We paid our $10 and drove in.

It was 49 degrees outside and the winds were around 100 miles per hour. I thought with a jacket and windbreaker I was prepared.

Look how the wind just pulled Dan's hood off and glued his shorts to his legs. He said he was out of breath by the time he got into the overlook building.

We snapped a selfie with my frozen hand and then he went inside.

I crawed around the base of the building with my side close and snapped photos.

The wind was so strong that I couldn't go near this short wall to take photos.

I would have been blown over. I was lucky to get that one shot before I joined Dan. Then we headed back down.

The next day we headed on foot from our hotel north. Just looking for fun.

Right after finding this tiki pole we found a Don the Beachcombers.

Sad part is that it was gutted and the building used for a luau bar. No decorations.

Later that night we saw this sunset.

Within 10 minutes these photo ops were over. I felt very lucky.

The next day we drove towards the Hana Highway looking for the bamboo forest. We did not find it.
We did find a lot of these signs.

We stopped at a park to watch the ocean.

The wind was fast but it wasn't cold.

During our entire trip the ocean was off limits due to rip tides. We still saw a few surfers and swimmers but we didn't go in.

We found a monk seal taking a nap. Whenever a wave would hit him he looked up and then lowered his head and went back to sleep.

On the way home we stopped at the fabric warehouse. The cloth here wasn't near the quality that was in the quilt shop in Kihei. They did have a wonderful variety of patterns.

We continued on looking for antique stores and thrift shops. We stopped at a CD store. Dan asked if they had any LP's and was sent to the basement.

Nothing was organized and after a few moments Dan gave up and we left.

Dan wanted to use a bathroom but was stopped by the NO TRESSPASSING sign. Not really.

We once again headed towards our hotel. The Maui Plantation is so beautiful we had to stop again. Dan did his hairy tiki face.

It was fun to see baby chicks.

We ran into a tiki carver there but either size or common tourist tikis prevented any from being bought. Beachbumz and Maui Rob still had the best things for sale.

Time to go crash. I'll be back tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy
