Kahului, Maui


We had 2 days in Kahului. Mom rented a car for one day and we visited Iao Valley State Park in the morning. The pointy mountain is called the Iao Needle (Elevation 2250 feet). Being in the valley, we were sheltered from the sun and the temperature was so comfortable there. It would have been nice to take a walk through the shaded trails. Not knowing how long the trail was and how far Grandma and I could walk, Mom decided not to walk too far in. She ran ahead and explored a short distance away from us and returned.

In the afternoon, mom drove along the Road to Hana - a narrow road with multiple one-lane bridges. I love the ride as we were continuously making turns and going up and down the hills. It would have been like going on a roller coaster ride if Mom drove faster. She was being good and tried to stay at the speed limit as much as she could.

The next day we took free shuttles to go shopping. We didn't really buy much. We just wanted to get out and move around a bit. I generally do not nap in the afternoon. However, while on a cruise, I needed a nap in the afternoon.
