I can't remember if it was the second or third day of our Maui visit, that all six of us boarded the minivan for a 65 mile adventure across the island to the village of Hana and back. Now that doesn't sound like much of a trip but it proved to be an all day journey. Not soon after leaving the city the way turns into a winding, hilly, narrow road with almost a hundred one-lane bridges thrown in just to spice it up. Luckily my son in-law was driving. I would have turned around after the first 5 miles and gone back to our cottage.

We stopped for a picnic lunch about halfway. We had also stopped a few times for pictures. Arriving near Hana we took our time hiking down to a black sand beach. After enjoying Hana for a while we continued on our way with the intent of a circular route back to our lodgings. Only to find the road closed by rock slides. So the way to Hana became the way home from Hana. The road home was not wider, flatter or straighter. We stopped for a meal at the end of the day back near the city.
