Day #6 - last day on Maui!

So sad for our last day on Maui, but SO excited to get home to see Hallie!!! We started the morning with a little bit of cliff jumping and beach time, and then took a drive and ate lunch at Beach Bums in Maalea.

Barb & I did some shopping on Front Street in Lahaina and met the guys at the Banyan tree (3rd largest in the world) for some ice cream.


After that, we went back to the hotel to relax by the pool (we already had to check out of our rooms by this point), and then had our final dinner at Hula Grill, which was the first restaurant we ate at in Hawaii.

After supper, we caught the shuttle to the airport and took off at 11:40PM Hawaii time. We arrive in Arizona at 8:30 AZ time, and then finally (FINALLY) landed in St.Louis at 1:40PM OUR TIME!!! My dad, brother and HALLIE met us in baggage claim and it was magical. Hallie just laughed and laughed and snuggled and HUGGED as much as she could. It was SO sweet. It was a great ending to a great trip. I would absolutely go back, but would take Hallie with me.

So, to recap, we:
*toured and hiked a volcanoe due to erupt
*toured the valley featured in Jurassic Park
*hiked in a rainforest with mean mosquitos (BTW - there are NO snakes in Hawaii) *Snorkeled in the middle of the ocean
*Surfed with a hottie instructor
*Cliff jumped
*Ate a lot
*Shopped a lot
*Relaxed a lot (although it doesn't sound like it)
*Made new friends
It was awesome. Thank you, BOSCH!!!!!! Please invite us again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
