We finished our last morning in Maui with a hike on the Hoapili Trail. This trail is through a lava flow and goes out to a navigation light and lets people access the southernmost part of Maui. It continues as the King's Trail eastward along the shore to an ancestral village - we didn't have time to do that. But we did get to experience walking through lava fields, seeing wild goats, feeling the winds blowing across, listening to the waves crash in the coves, and imagine what the snorkeling would be like - there was lots of white coral that had washed up in the coves indicating reefs just offshore. We packed up and got to the airport without incident. What a wonderful experience we've had in Hawaii! We are appreciate the hospitality of the locals for allowing us to visit and explore, we are grateful we were able to travel and be in this remarkable place.
The universe conspired to have our flight land 30 minutes ahead of schedule, giving us just enough time to make it to Jess's friend Megan's houseboat on Lake Union for fireworks! We were treated to an incredible fireworks show on the rooftop deck. And the entire scene of boats and people paddle boarding to see them and everything was just fun to be part of. What an incredible end to our week together!
