HAWAII TRIP

I have wanted to go to Hawaii ever since reading James Michener's "Hawaii" as a teenager. I finally got there in March/April '99 when I burned some frequent flier miles and went to Maui and Kaui for a week. See some of the highlights below. Ken

America 2 The first day on Maui, I had
the unique opportunity to
sail on America 2, Dennis
Connor's boat in the
Freemantle Australia
America's Cup. Once we were
out in the channel, it flew
like the wind, even with a
shorter mast and smaller sail.
I was thrilled beyond belief.

Sunrise from top of Haleakala Cycling down Haleakala

The 2nd day, I arose at 4 a.m. to see the sunrise
from Haleakla, then rode a bike 37 miles
down the mountain.

Hawaii beaches are justifiably famous,both above and below the water.

Kayaking
Paddle a kayak up Kauai's only
river, then hike a mile up a
stream, and you too can shower
in one of Hawaii's typical
ribbon waterfalls, just like you
see in the movies! Ribbon falls on Kauai

Kauai lagoon A helicopter flight over Kaui
is the only way to get a complete
sense of this incredibly
beautiful mountainous island,
especially the rugged Napali coast.
