These moths are all over the place...
Neat!
Grand Wailea Resort
2011.Feb.24
We can not afford this place. We can not even think about affording this place.
Butterflies are something I like; Grand Wailea is something my wife likes...
Obviously, we know which are better; So I will make these pictures smaller than the bug pictures.

You should take in the Maalaea Aquarium...
Don't rush it. There is a lot to see.
Haleakala
Haleakala Sunrise (about 06:37)
And a bike ride down the "mountain".
Garden Of Eden
Almost exactly half way to Hana.
(I believe there was an entrance fee of $10.00 per person.)

Hookipa Lookout
Girl looking at good looking coral...
Look at the size of this Swamp Mahogany trunk. I put myself in the picture to give you a comparison, but that will not notwork because we are both big. Never the less, it is a big tree. The bark is like very thick soft paper.It feels "spongy".
Take in a Luau.
Royal Lahaina:
This one had great food: Baked Mau Mau, Shredded Pork, Broasted Chicken, Corn on the Cob, etc.
The scenery was not bad either.
The Plantation:
Zip Lining has become the rage over here. You do not have to go up the face of Haleakala to Zip Line.
Typical Parking Lot for Maui
Hilo Hatties:
...With their van and two reserved spaces.
The ticket dispenser for this parking lot did not issue me a ticket when I drove in. However the barrier arm didallow me to pass. The wonderful girls inside Hilo Hatties personally fixed the problem.They took the problem upon themselves! One girl went way out of her way,and went outside, started her private car, and drove it through the gate. She personally retrieved a ticket for me.Then promptly indorsed it with a stamp - and all with a smile.
If you try to leave the lot without a stamp, it will cost you $25.00!
Boy, was I impressed. People just ordinarily don't do that kind of thing for one another.You will find good hearted people in Hilo Hatties; and its typical of the island.
And a typical Mantis
