Maui Mondays: Twin Falls on the Road to Hana

Why hello there... 
We have been a little slow lately on posting. Mostly because life is full. BUT also because we have been working on some exciting new stuff behind the scenes! In the mean time, how 'bout some Maui pictures? Who is tired of the snow and would love to be here right about now?



How to Get There:

Mile Marker: #2.1 (Hana Hwy aka Hwy 360)
GPS Coordinates: 20.911658,-156.243954
Facilities: Port-a-potties, snack stand
Parking: Limited space (free)

Nick and Julia both did the short hike and journey through the water, over to the falls, in their flip flops. This was possible, but not advised :) Jay and I wore shoes and it was much easier. Also, this bamboo walking stick I picked up on the trail was a life saver! It helped steady myself in the stream, as well as rescue a girl's sandal from floating away.

Maui Mondays: Road to Hana

If you ask anyone who has been to Maui what you should do when you go, you will always hear that you should take the Road to Hana.  That means you are essentially driving around the right side of the island. The landscape is so diverse you almost feel like you have gone through several mainland states in a short period of time. If you get motion sickness, make sure that you either drive or wear a SeaBand! There are not many eating places on your trip, so be sure to pack snacks and drinks.

A friend told me to get Terra Root Chips. I was on the look out for them, but they were hard to find. Once we did they were $7 for a tiny bag.  We splurged for the experience, but you can also get them at the grocery store :) 

Sarah took some absolutely amazing pictures of the route, so be sure to check them out!! ~Julia











These are the mountain apples that some locals were picking from the tree while we were stopped due to construction. I did not find them that tasty.  They were a little like a cross between an apple and a plum.
