Day 8: Maui, Hawaii – New Island, New Adventures

This morning we woke up early and hiked up Koko’s Head. We guessed that we’d make it to the top in under an hour, and we did. We made it up in 40 minutes. But it was definitely a cardio workout! And very hot out! The path up was an old railroad track and so […]

This morning woke me up at 6am. Couldn’t sleep anymore. I’m really tired, so this post will be short. But we relaxed in the morning, went to church, came back for lunch, and then Becca and I laid out in the sunshine for a while. After that we went riding in Uncle Jimmy’s sports car […]

Still trying to adjust to the time zone! It’s only 8 here but my body is screaming that it’s almost 2am. Especially a long day in the sunshine. It was a gorgeous day. But they say every day in Hawaii is like this. Mid 80’s with the sun high in the clear blue sky. We […]
