    Re: Road to Hana

    The road to Hana must be enjoyed by everyone - kama`aina and malahini alike! I get to Hana at least once a month-sometimes I make the drive from Kahului other times I fly directly into Hana....just depends on my mood...but if you have the time and the patience I say drive yourself in....the scenery is beautiful and taes my breath away every SINGLE time....you can stop and smell the flowers - the gingers are breathtaking, the puakenikeni just wonderful...not to mention the lilikoi and guava along way (among other fruits).

    The road past Hana, into Kipahulu and Ohe'o is open. The temporary bridge was installed and it's passable...once in Kipahulu also visit John and Tweetie Lind at Kapahu, it's a living, working, breathing farm....with acres of taro and a beautiful waterfall to hike to and swim in...the waterfall is breathtaking. Here's the website: http://kipahulu.org/. Say hello to Uncle John and Aunty Tweetie...tell them T.J. (that's me!) says hello and I can't for Taro Festival (http://tarofestival.org/).

    Once you're out that way, go a little more and visit the pools of Ohe'o. I'm not sure if the hiking trail to the waterfall on the mauka side is open, but it's just beautiful! Take some kind of mosquito repellant though...the mosquitos are quite hungry up there. On that side of the street you will find guava, purple plums, and just a whole lot of God's work going on.....But cross the road to the makai side and stop in at the ranger station to check on trail conditions before you continue on.....the ranger there is very knowledgable about that valley and he loves to share this knowledge.

    Can you tell that I love Hana???????? While in Hana visit Hana Bay, you just might catch a fishing boat coming in with some akule or maybe a diver or 2 has some lobster as well. There's also a museum on the mauka side of Hana Bay and of course you must take a walk up to Fagan's Cross....yes, the groceries and food is a little pricey, but how often will you get to Hana??????

    Enjoy!

        One more thing......

        It doesn't matter what size car you drive....I've driven a full-sized van, an SUV, and a compact car....it doesn't matter.....COURTESY should be a given!

        Personally, I feel safer in an SUV because it's high and I can see everything...

            Gotta love the drive out to Hana. I usually stay with the Ohana in Ko`ale or Maka`lae. Getting away from the stress just for a little bit, this is the place to unwind..............
