In Which Stacey Loses Her Cool

If you've driven the Road to Hana, you'll understand. On our first day off the ship, Stacey drove us along sea cliffs, over one-lane bridges, and around hair pin turns in the rain.

Our reward (besides natural beauty): lunch at the Hotel Hana Maui on an open air patio overlooking the ocean. I had an open-faced braised Kalua pork sandwich on grilled sweet bread with spiced papaya and garlic aioli. Oh, yes, and we visited a black sand beach at Waianapanapa State Park.

Yup, it's really black.

Back in civilization, we drove to Iao Valley State Park...

...where we received a phone call from my dad saying that our movers don't have a driver for our truck. Trouble in paradise!
