After wrapping up with the conference on Thursday we flew out from Oahu to Maui on Friday morning. By accident we ended up at an excellent snorkeling spot one beach down from our hotel while trying to kill some time prior to checking in.
The second day we drove up to the peak of the Haleakala National Park. It was no less than 20 degrees colder at the peak and everyone shivered as we walked around outside.
The landscape looked like the moon and I’m told that NASA sent astronauts there to train for the moon landing back in the 60’s.
On our third day we went to Black Rock beach and the kids and I enjoyed some amazing snorkeling spotting zebra fish, needle fish, and what I like to call bright yellow’s (I’m making all those names up).
We were about 300 yards from shore with only 2 boogie boards to float on and at one point I noticed the tide pulling us out to sea and toward a bank of cliffs.
Luckily, the kids had on their flippers and are good swimmers, because I don’t think I could have swam hard enough to get the three of us to shore otherwise.
