Standing on Top of the World
We had an awesome day today. Bright and early this morning we got picked up at 3:15 to make about an hour and a half trip up 10,000 feet to Haleakala Crater. Here we had a spectacular view of the full moon and an even more amazing view of the sunrise. I’m not normally up before the sun, so this was particularly inspiring. After taking over a hundred photos (yes, I promise that we will go through and delete some), we got on our bikes and headed down the volcano. Ok, I can’t lie. I was nervous. The guide said we were going about 20mph, but on a bike I felt like I was doing 65mph. Let’s just say the brakes on my bike got a pretty good work out. The excursion was totally worth every penny and we took some amazing photos. The weather was perfect today and we were able to enjoy some beach time as well. We didn’t get a phone call about going fishing tomorrow, so it looks like we will be driving the road to Hana.

I am so glad that you had a great experience on Haleakala! We had such a good time doing this. Did you stop for lunch on the way down? We went to a little Mexican restaurant for brunch. It was pretty good. I loved the bike down. Do you know that you go past Tom Selleck’s house on the bike down??
I’m loving the pics and the updates!! Keep ’em coming!! And enjoy the rest of your time on the islands! How fun!

What camera setting did you use to get the stars in the picture, too! Actually, don’t tell me all of Nicki’s secrets…she might get jealous! Hope you’re having fun!
