Yes, I'm now back to this cold wet Vancouver weather. Let's see what I can remember about my trip. I took a lot of the suggestions here.
Crossed the lava field in Ahihi Kinau Natural Reserve
Polo Beach
Lahaina
Kamaole Beach
Drove all along the North West coast and up to Honokohau Bay
Drove to Hana and stopped at the sites along the way (Waikamoi Ridge Forest Trail, Pua'a Ka'a State Wayside Park, Waianapanapa)
Thanksgiving dinner at Mama's Fish House. super expensive.
Visited the Ritz Carlton
Snorkelled at Molokini with the Pacific Whale Foundation (saw turtles, dolphins, and Humpbacks)
Made it half way up to the Haleakala Crater before I had to turnaround with only 1/8 gas tank left
Other beaches that I stopped by:
Napili Bay
Honolua Bay
La Perouse Bay
Makena State Park
I got a few underwater pics but my camera died after some saltwater leaked into my Aquapac camera bag while snorkelling. I didn't snorkel nearly as much as I had wanted to. That was because the person I was travelling with is not into snorkelling.
I found it fascinating that there is an abundance of reef fishes right in the harbour. Saw Moorish Idols, Racoon butterflies, convict tangs, etc right in the harbour.
