Monday September 22, 2014 Lahaina, Maui, HI

We got up early enough to attend the Expedia presentation on what to see while on Maui.  Besides information they served up coffee, rolls and fruit.

We decided on a show and a day trip to Moloka'i.  The show we chose was an Elvis impersonation since we got one ticket free for attending the orientation.  We will go on Wednesday evening, in downtown Lahaina. The trip to Moloka'i will be on Thursday.  It will include the ferry ride over to the island and back plus a renal car for the time we are there.  We also got information for later on luaus and a day trip to Lana'i for later.

After arraigning the activities we drove north on the island.  Near a place where I looked for a cache there was a beach area frequented by turtles.  We wanted to see the turtles and of course I wanted to look for the cache again.

We did see several sea turtles, just not very well.  In the video, if you look closely, you will see one by the rock in the center of the picture.  In the picture the turtle is in the lower left.





We drove further north until we intersected HI-30 and then we drove south to a fruit stand that we had passed on the way from the airport when we arrived.  We bought a coconut that the man there cracked for us.  He found a mature coconut for us.  Here and in Mexico the locals like the green coconut that can be eaten with a spoon. We like the harder dryer meat,

On the way south we also stopped at the site of another cache that I was unable to find last week. That cache was near the station for the sugar cane train that used to be a tourist attraction, but has been closed for several years.
It was nearly dark when we got back to the resort.  We watched some TV and read until 10 and went to bed.
