Today is our last full day in Maui, tomorrow we are flying off to San Francisco to take a tour of Napa Valley! I have never been to Napa or Sonoma so I’m excited. Too bad we have to say goodbye to the sun and warm weather though.
As for the race, I didn’t end up running. Both the hubby and I ended up getting sick on Friday and we spent the whole night awake coughing and feeling ill. I was super upset about not being able to go, but I wasn’t going to run sick and not getting any sleep the night before. 😦 I have also not worked out at all because of my flu-like cold. Kind of miserable, but can’t be too miserable because I am in Hawaii 🙂 I feel bad I let you all down by not having some pics from the run and a cool race recap…sorry!
On to the fun stuff….On Sunday we went on a snorkeling tour and got to see sea turtles, tons of beautiful reef fish and even a dozen or so humpback whales.
Dolphins also rode the wake of our boat going back to harbor.
Monday was spent on a crazy drive around West Maui. We started out with breakfast at the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua then headed around the west side of the island. We saw beautiful cliffs
The Olivine Pools
and the Nakele Blowhole (it wasn’t really blowing at all that day)
Then we headed further along the highway to a super narrow section that had the hubby and I sweating. Signs like this were along the whole way.
We stopped for some delicious banana bread
and ended up in the Iao Valley to see the Iao Needle. This is the valley where King Kamehameha conquered the island of Maui.
Dinner was enjoyed in Lahaina at sunset.
How pretty is that?
Today is hanging by the pool and soaking up the last of those Hawaiian rays.
See you all from Cali!
