Whirlwind Tour of Maui - Day 3

Day 3 - Saturday

Whew! How to top that? Well, day three was just as exciting.

We started off the day with a great breakfast at Charley’s in Pa’ia. Did some shopping, and then went to the Craft Fair at Seabury High School in Olinda (Oh-lin-da). To get there we drove through some very scenic areas in up country, like Kula (Koo-la) and Ulupalakua (Ooh-la-pa-la-kua), which gives you some gorgeous views of the whole island and the bay. The campus was also very beautiful. We bought some nice things at the craft fair, I bought some hand made “twirling dresses” for my daughters Abby and Shelby, and my Mom picked up some things too.

At the party the previous night, some of Leann’s friends had recommended Black Rock Beach in Ka’anapali (Ka-ah-na-polly) as a great place for snorkeling. So we drove there next, did some more snorkeling and watched kids jump off of the black rocks. When snorkeling you could just swim along this beautiful coral shelf and see all kinds of fish. We also saw a Sea Turtle today. Swimming around with the Honus is so peaceful and relaxing. They are beautiful creatures. 2 for 2 so far!

After another great day of snorkeling Leann took us the Hula Grill & Barefoot Bar in Ka’anapali for PuPus. A nice relaxing time outside by the beach with Mai-Tais. The Crab & Macadamia Nut Wontons are HIGHLY recommended!

After this relaxing evening we drove up to the Haleakala (Ha-lay-ah-ka-la - The House of the Sun) Crater to catch the sunset. A big storm cloud had settled over the crater and it took us quite a while to drive to the top, but we still got some amazing views. Wow was it cold up there!!
