This was our last day in Hawaii spending time in Paia and the heading to the beach next to Mama's Fish House to watch the turtles swim and come onto shore. The surfing is great here also so can spend lots of time here watching the surf activities.

Today we drove up the North West Coast with it's beautiful rugged coastline. We drove as far as the Nakalele Blowhole where the road turns into a single lane and not recommended by the rental car company. This coast is also where you will often see surfers waiting for the best waves. This area gets much more rain than the Kanapali area. Areas of beautiful rainforest along this coast.

Today we took Micah and Sophia on one of their favorite activities in Hawaii. The Atlantis Submarine. It's a underwater adventure to see coral reefs and marine creatures. The sub dives to 130 feet and we saw some amazing fish!! The adventure is so fun as you can see the previous tour group rise out of the water with an impressive immersion.

DT Fleming Beach in Kapalua is a favorite for boogy boarding. Picking the right days when the waves are breaking just right is important for a fun day here. Sea turtles are often seen here as well. Micah was having a great day!

Melissa, Dan, Micah and Sophia arrived for a visit and our first dining spot to hit was Aloha Mixed Plate. Tasty dishes from the varied ethnic groups that call Hawaii home. Two scoops rice and one scoop macaroni salad always accompany the traditional plate lunch. The traditional Lau Lau-Pork with Hawaiian Salt wrapped in Taro leaves then cooked in an underground oven called an imu is one of the favorites. The million dollar view is great with the local vibes ...
