Tish,
I was absolutely thrilled with the service and advice you were able to give to us regarding our Hawaiian vacation. You listened and offered the best advice. For instance, when I told you I really didn't want to take a tour for the Hana Highway venture, you suggested going to Long's drugstore to get the self-guided CD tour instead. We did, and that was perfect. We were able to linger in places we wanted to, skip some of the places and take the tour on our time - not someone else's but still get the benefit of knowing approaching historical sites and locations. That was right on!! We enjoyed driving up to Haleakala National Park and I had a blast on the zip line excursion. One day we visited Ioa Valley and then took the coast line all the way around to Kapalua, Napili, Kahana, Honokowai, Ka'anapali and Lahaina. That was a wonderful and relaxing day as well stopping by the little lagoons and coves (and of course coconut candy and banana bread!). The Feast at Lele was fantastic. We were so smitten with the area of Lahaina that we went back and dined at Bubba Gump's and strolled down to the shopping area. My best sunset shots were taken there with the boats parked right off shore and the sun coming down. However, I would have to say that our best day (besides relaxing by the pools and beaches) was the Blue Rater Rafting tour (leaving out of the Kihei Boat Dock). I wish I could remember the two guides because they were superb! We had a woman captain (Capt Kim, I think and Dominic was the geology major guide sidekick) anyway their education proved a valuable asset when explaining the volanic rock formations which line the coast. We were quite impressed with their knowledge. It was a wonderful vacation and we had tons of great memories. We had such a wonderful time we do plan to return in two or three years. (waiting for my daughter to get just a tad bit older) Thanks for all your help and assistance. I will be posting comments on tripadvisor to let others know who to go to!!
Thanks Tish and have a wonderful summer!
