Our Picnic Lunch Stop

Along the Road to Hana...

Past the Black Sand Beach but before the Seven Sacred Pools, we pulled off to enjoy our

picnic lunch we picked up at The Hana Bay Juice Company in Paia.  I did enjoy the

coleslaw, which they added pineapple to. We were the only two on the beach.  David's 

hat blew off and I accidentally took a pic.  It looks like I am sitting next to a ghost who is 

disrespecting the baseball hat by wearing it backwards.

Another licensed driver in the house

 We arrived at the Plano DPS at 9 for our 10 AM appt.  Thank goodness for apppts as the line was 

out the door and around the side of the building.  We were able to cut the line and check in for our

 appt at the desk and wait in much shorter lines.  Above, Alex is 4th in line for her driving test.

 Off she goes to begin her road test.  Her test started before her 10 AM appt.

Parallel parking. 

 I passed!

Now a licensed driver.  Off to drive by herself for the first time.

Black Sand Beach

Honokalani Black Sand Beach is located in the Wainapanapa State Park. This large beach is set among lava cliffs and the sand is actually small, smooth, lava pebbles. 

Fairmont Kea Lani Hotel, Wailea, Maui

The Fairmont Kea Lani is Hawaii’s only all suite and villa oceanfront luxury resort, situated on 22 acres of tropical landscape in sunny Wailea, Maui. My notes on the hotel: The hotel offers complimentary beach umbrellas and chairs, coolers for outings, Raod to Hana CD, three swimming pools, including an adults-only pool and two activity pools.  Nicks Seafood Restaurant on site was delicious.
