The Road to Ka'anapali


We landed at Kahului airport and had to drive down to Ma'alaea Bay and then around along the shore through Lahaina to get to Ka'anapali, where we're staying.

It took about 45 minutes and by the second half the Maui rush hour had begun and I had to keep both hands on the wheel, but much of that portion of the trip the ocean was so close that if there'd been a rogue wave it would have soaked the pavement ahead of us.

We'd been mesmerized by the clouds earlier and how they alternated between looking vaguely threatening, as if a storm would gather any minute, and looking absolutely heavenly, with amazing shafts of sunlight streaming through. In many areas, the clouds shrouded mountains, leaving the summits obscured. So gorgeous - all of it.





And then we were there.
