Brenda Arrives on Maui and We Start Touring the Island

We'll pick Brenda up at the airport at 6:02 pm.  After that, back to the condo for late night meal, a drink and some sleep.  Then, in the following days, we have some places to visit and things to do with Brenda.

The Road to Hana

This is a beautiful drive with stops along the way.

It's on this drive that we'll have a chance to see rainbow eucalyptus trees.  As I recall from years back, a grove of these trees was near the beginning of the road once you pass the last village.

Drive to Haleakala Summit

We'll try to pick a clear day to drive to the summit of Haleakala

There's a couple of national park visitor centers on Haleakala.  Plus, there's assorted pullovers including one to look at Rainbow Eucalypsis trees.  We'll take our time to take in the views.

Remember to bring water!
