Day two got off to an EARLY (2:30 a.m.) start! We drove to the summit of Haleakala, the highest point in Maui, to see the sunrise. If you're asking yourself why, well, it's pretty much a Maui tradition and EVERY Maui travel book you can find says that it is a must see. Well, we agree! We were at 10,000 ft (above the clouds) watching the sunrise above the Eastern shore of Maui. Breathtaking and spectacular don't even come close to being good enough adjectives to describe that sight. It was worth every minute that we spent driving one of the steepest roads in the world (you go from sea level to 10,000 ft in less than 30 miles). We stopped on the way down from Haleakala to have breakfast at one of the most quaint little restaraunts in Maui, the Kula Lodge. We ate breakfast while overlooking the Maui Upcountry from about 3000 feet. We capped off our day with a wonderful experience at the Old Lahaina Luau. All we can say is WOW! We had a blast...and we even got to dance on the sand overlooking Lanai (tell you more about that when we return). Next up, the Heavenly Road to Hana...
ALOHA!

P.S. We have exceeded the limit on our webpage with the pictures. I'll make some adjustments to get the Hawaii pictures up. Hopefully more will be up soon!
P.S.S. Tyler & Tanner: We miss you and we love you very much. We'll see you in a few days...not that you're missing us that much at this point ;-)
