For our first full day in Maui, we tackled the Road to Hana.  Hana is in Eastern Maui and the drive there is known for its scenery.  We had  a guide book, maps, and GPS, yet still managed to confuse ourselves.  It turns out that the road changes name and mile markers.  Unclear to us was that the guides we had (which indicate stops by mile marker), begin AFTER the road changes name and the mile markers reset.  Once we figured this out, then everything made sense and we were in sync with our navigational aids.

The road is very pretty and there are numerous vistas and stopping points along the way.  Thanks to our mix up in the morning we even caught some surfers enjoying the waves.  We took nearly all day to get to our hotel in Hana. By this time, we were ready for showers and some much needed food,
