Maui is absolutely beautiful! If you ever get the chance I would suggest visiting this island. The first few pictures below are of the drive we took to Hana. The road to Hana is long and winding, with over 600 curves and 54 bridges. It usually takes all day to make the drive to the little town and back. The scenery was gorgeous! One of the stops we wanted to make on the drive was to visit a black sand beach. Here is a picture below:
One of the many scenic views on the drive.

The trees below are called Rainbow Trees. The colors get even brighter when they are wet.
The last stop on the drive is at the Seven Sacred Pools,which is basically what you make the long drive to see. We started our drive later on in the day than we had planned and by the time we made it to this point we only had enough time to pay to enter the park, take a couple pictures and get back on the road. We had to hurry so we weren't driving the winding road in the dark. It was worth the drive and we wished we could have spent more time here.
This picture below is of ONE tree! This is a Banyan tree and it grows laterially by dropping roots down from it's branches. It is the size of an entire city block. Amazing!
We spent a morning horseback riding on Maui. Rick on his horse Steven Segal and Monica on her horse Jet Li. Our ride included amazing views of the ocean as well as a chance to explore a tropical forest. Our guide was great and was able to show us many of the plants and trees Hawaii is known for.
The sunsets were beautiful! I know I use beautiful a lot but everything really was!

We also spent a day snorkeling and snuba diving. We bought our own underwater camera and the pictures didn't turn out so well. We should have paid the money and used the cameras they offered on the boat. Anyway, we took a boat ride out to Molekini Crater and Turtle Town and swam with the turtles and fish. It was a great experience, but I don't think we would do the snuba diving again. The snorkeling was much more relaxing.

It might take us another ten years but we are definitely going again.
