Iao Valley – Fun Fun Fun!

You know what is so much fun to do in Maui? Hike Iao Valley!

It’s historical, full of life, and really scenic…I’m not sure how many people know about it, my mom was saying that she didn’t think that Iao Valley got much exposure. Well, I am gonna make it widely known! haha.

Iao Valley is a state park and the state keeps it really gorgeous! Except the economy has made them have to charge for parking if you are not Kamaaina (resident). But the 5 dollars would be worth it to me! There is a Nature Center that was open but its closed right now, which is sad. But you can walk around the gardens and even eat at a Cafe that is right next to the Nature Center! Yum yum!

SO next time you are thinking of something to do on a crystal clear day, go up and experience Iao Valley!

Now I took way to many pictures so I’m only gonna post a couple here. I am posting the rest on FB…

These past couple of days have been so clear and nice! Very Christmasyy weather! Today we are getting a Christmas tree! I am so excited! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, just my busy schedule as a full time daughter, on call sewer, and part time web designer.

Have a great day everyone!

Hawaii Danger #1: Portuguese Man o’ War

So I was at the beach yesterday and I came across this most familiar but unpleasant sight.

I don’t know that much about them, all I know is that their sting hurts really bad and they come when the wind blows onshore. Yeah, I got to teach my little brothers about them so they won’t get hurt when they see one again. Here are a couple websites that might be helpful if you want to learn more!

The Portuguese Man o’ War

 

We saw 3 on the beach that day! If you ever see one, DONT pick it up! Even though the bubble is harmless, the clearish blue tentacles could be wrapped around it or close nearby!
