Another trip without Howie but with good reason – Hawaii. This is our first trip by plane since returning from Italy in Jan 2020. With an invitation from family to join them for a week in Maui, postponed since 2020. We were happy to finally travel someplace without towing a travel trailer, especially with gas prices at ~$6/gal.
We spent a week in Ka’anapali Maui with family then spent 5 days on Kauai, our first trip to that island. We’ve now visited four of the main islands – Oahu, Maui, Big Hawaii (Big Island) & Kauai. We considered a day-trip to Lanai from Lahaina but the Trade Winds were pretty strong during the week we were there. Traveling back across the channel in the afternoon would have been rough. So we opted for a 5hr snorkeling day-trip on a Teralani sailboat along the Maui west coast.
