Wow, we are back in GWhiz recuperating from our recuperation in Hawaii. Our AirBnB in Maui was a wonderful change from small campervans and luxurious hotels. It is a small, well appointed condo. Chris, the resident owner, has built her own private loft space and we pretty much had the run of the rest of the condo for our use. Breakfast on the lanai overlooking the ocean was a daily happening.
We were quite near Lahaina and other places to dine and shop and took advantage of the time to take two wonderful drives in our funky rental Jeep. We spent an entire day driving the Hana Highway which follows the coast around the south of the island Hana Highway Guide for details.

Hamoa Beach – the most beautiful beach in the world! just a little hyperbole
Unique, both of us with waterfall on my head
On our last day in paradise we chose to take the shorter drive to the north from our location in Lahaina up to the cliffs and overlooks along the shoreline. We went as far as the blowhole before turning back:
Not an atypical warning sign!
It takes an active sea to create a blowhole!
That little puff in the upper right is the blowhole. We were tired and had endured enough rough rock scrambles for one trip!
The next day we flew from Maui to Honolulu and onward to Los Angeles where we stayed the night before picking up a rental car to get us back to GWhiz in Aguanga CA. We’ve done some doctoring and hope that Carol makes a full recovery from the pain in her left leg so we can make our trip to Africa, not to mention the much earlier Bar Mitzvah of Avi at the beginning of July.
Today I made a bad mistake. I opened an email from OAT (Overseas Adventure Travel) before deleting it. We have booked a trip to Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for next May. This was not on our list, but it is open for tourists so we must go!
