Visit to Twin Falls

What? Twin Falls, Idaho? No... we're not that close to home. Twin Falls, Maui, Hawai'i. It was on the famous "Road to Hana."

On Saturday we went snorkeling at Molokini and at Turtletown USA, but I'll have to report and post pictures from that later.

We went to church yesterday here in Kikei, where it was funny to see all of the bishopric wearing leis with their suits! After church, we took the drive to Hana, a 30+ mile stretch of road with over 600 turns and 59 one-way bridges. It could have been a really fun drive if the road were clear and you were in a sports car with good handling. It was still a fun drive because it was so spectacularly beautiful!

We had dinner at the very beautiful Hana Hotel, set in an area where you think, "Ah... this is what we expected Maui to look like." Enjoy the pictures below.

Steven and Andrew playing in the jungle (no politically correct "tropical rainforest" garbage here!) on the hike from the road up to the Twin Falls waterfalls. With my broken toe and bad knee, I couldn't get all the way up to the falls, so I'll have to post pictures from the kids' cameras later.

We had dinner at the lounge at the Hana Hotel. That's an open area and patio area in the background (Steven, Brianna, Andrew and Christopher in the foreground), and they partially close the glass wall only when it starts raining - which it did while we were there. Isn't this what you'd expect Maui to look like?!
