My favorite part of the trip: The Road to Hana on Maui! It had BEAUTIFUL waterfalls, rolling hills covered in lush green tropical plants, cliffs overlooking the ocean, natural pools that we could go swimming in, black sand beaches, etc...

Check out this Banyan Tree! Amazing! On the Road to Hana, Maui (Mile Marker 45)
We took this strenuous, uphill LONG hike through jungle and a bamboo forest and at the end we saw this: a HUGE cliff with this beautiful waterfall jetting down the side. It was breathtaking. Totally worth the sweaty hike!
Also at the end of the hike--this beautiful pool of water--open for swimming! Great way to cool off!

The beautiful Laie temple
Another highlight was being together, of course! :)
Another favorite: snorkeling! We saw lots of fish and HUGE sea turtles! We also took a submarine ride and saw more fish and a shark!
It was an awesome trip and coming home was great too! I didn't realize how much I'd miss Miles and Hailey after being away from them for over a week. One woman on our plane said she wouldn't have minded staying for a few more days. I felt opposite--paradise was really nice but it's still no substitute for home!
