The Story Of Us

Happy to see you are all enjoying our trip to Hawaii so much. It was such a magical place.. we had so many incredible experiences but now we come to an end. DAY 9 We had another relaxed morning. We spent some time on the beach and then walked over to Black Rock. It was a large rock jutting out that people climbed and jumped off of. It was located at the end of our beach just a couple of minutes away. What we didn't know was that it was a sea turtle hotspot!  They were not shy at all and just kept swimming up to us. Around 1:30pm we headed out to explore Maui's upcountry. Upcountry Maui is located on the slopes of Haleakalā and offers a cooler weather and a more rustic, paniolo (cowboy) vibe.

We are generally early risers but we took the time to just lay in bed and relax. Once we were up we headed to Whalers Village.  Whalers Village is a shopping and food area nestled in the midst of the line of resorts in Kaanapali. We got in the long Island Vintage line to grab some breakfast. While Whalers Village was convenient it did not have a lot of options and we missed the endless choices available to us in Waikiki.  We took our treats and had breakfast on the beach.. and H in a tree. Then we walked a bit on the beach before it was time to board our boat for a snorkel and whale watching tour.  We booked a tour with Gemini Sailing Charters. We had an 11am sail time and it included lunch and snacks.  I can not rave enough about this trip. This little dude above did not want...
