The Road to Hana





We decided that Monday would be the best day to embark on our adventure to Hana. The road to Hana is a notorious road on the North-East part of Maui - the scenary is beautiful and there are stops along the way that makes the time commitment all worthwhile. Since I easily succumb to motion sickness I took two dramamine. The pills helped a bit but there was a good portion of the drive that I was slumped in the front seat trying not to heed the rapidly changing trajectory of the road. Rob did a masterful job of handling the car - despite frequent yielding o oncoming traffic at single lane bridges, avoidance of oncoming cars that seemed to pay no attention to the center line and a winding road that seemed to go on for miles and miles. Our first stop was at the only Black Sand Beach on Maui. We had thoroughly enjoyed our first Black Sand Beach encounter on the Big Island 15 years ago. We had a picnic on the beach and Rob waded in the water. The undercurrents were too strong to swim so we admired the waves from the beach. It was a spectacular location.
