8. June 28: Maui - Driving the Northwest

Saturday we finally were able sleep in! After a leisurely morning we drove south a short way to Lahaina where we walked around the shops and had a cheeseburger in paradise with an ocean view.From there, we drove back north to picture-perfect Napili beach. After some serious negotiation, I managed to convince Yumi to retrace our steps of the night before but this time being able to see the scenery. I'm glad we did because it was a gorgeous drive which rivaled the Road to Hana.

Upon reaching civilization again, we went shopping; mostly for lots and lots of omiyage (gifts) for friends and coworkers. After several hours of shopping we had dinner at a food court, drove back to the hotel, packed up and went to bed. Of course we had planned on going to bed between 9 and 10 pm in order to have at least a little sleep before getting up at 2 am to drive to Haleakala for the sunrise but true to form, we didn't get to bed until around midnight.
