OMG! So I guess I’m doing this. Nick called a few days ago – just to get information and before I knew it he was giving them a credit card and reserving our seats. Now here we are. We woke up early grabbed some breakfast and we headed out so that we’d arrive at the 8:15 required time.
Maui’s coastline is just spectacular! As we went in and out of valleys around the island I could hardly imagine being here with no motor vehicles and really very small communities.
We started to fly to Moloka’i after the whale watching. Moloka’i used to be a Leprosy Colony starting in 1865. In 1905 it was recorded that over 5,800 people were there. Including Father Damien from Belgium. He arrived in 1873 and found about 800 people living in squalor. He began building them homes and creating a colony for them. But after only 3 years he contracted it too. He lived on the island for almost 17 years and died there.
Then during the return we saw more of the working end of Maui.
Once we were done we had the whole day to relax at the pool and hot tub! It was such a thrill – sitting by the pool was the perfect choice. Besides – we have the Luau tonight!
It was a great day! I had no idea I’d enjoy the helicopter as much as I did! The luau was a great show. The poi was ehhhh.
