Coral Party!!!

This is our last day in Maui; SAD! We started off the day, again, with the best breakfast in Hawaii. I (S) picked up some fresh fruit to go along with it... Mango, longan and Lilikoi (passion fruit). Even though they were local, they were still pretty pricey, but very delicious. I did have an epic fail this morning, though, involving bacon. We decided to microwave the bacon to avoid a big mess. I googled how own does this and it said 1 minute per bacon slice... Well, I counted 9 so I set it to 9 minutes. The result: Burnt bacon everywhere! Home Defense (K) should have been on bacon duty again.

After breakfast, our next venture was to the Road to Hana! At the beginning of the trip is the Twin Falls fruit stand. Beyond it is a short hike to the falls. Hot tip, ladies: Wear your flip flops here because you'll be ankle deep in water. Liz and Erin had warned us yesterday. And when walking through the rocky  water, keep your flip flops on to avoid roughed up feet. When we got back to the car, we shared these hot tips with a family who was bringing in their sneakers. You're welcome!

After our first stop, we decided to get out of the car at the next fruit stand. I bought some fresh cane juice to share. It's crazy how we can just grab a stalk from any road and make cane juice out of it but these stands are charging us tourists $5 a cup! We were then on our merry way through the road to Hana. KD did very well. It wasn't as narrow or dangerous as we expected. We stopped at an amazing scenic spot on the way down. So scary! We had to head back to town early because KD was low on gasoline.

We had Mexican for lunch today at a spot called Milagros. We all had too many fish tacos and nachos. We also finally got our picture of our Havainas.

After a huge lunch, we ended up at Baldwin Beach Park to relax and take a final dip in the water. It was more rough up here compared to Lahaina, but that meant we got to watch the wind-surfers in the distance. We eventually left when a quick rain storm came through.

We went back to our house in Haiku to clean up before heading out as the Coral Partyyyy! We spent our last night at Charley's listening to the Blues. The Blues is not so convincing in Maui! After a couple strong drinks and some salads, we left Paia one last time. The town had nearly cleared out before 10pm! Thanks for all the memories, Maui! Some were "awkward and moist" (a reference to T's horoscope this week) but for the most part awesome and magical!
