Hawaii 2013
Maui
Friday December 6 through Monday December 16
Stu & I flew to Kahului HI, then spent almost a week in the Lahaina area, including various day trips throughout the western parts of Maui. After that, we drove the twisting road to Hana, and spent one full day, and part of the adjacent days, on the east side of Maui. We then flew back home.
The GPX files have been edited only to remove extraneous points and obvious errors (if even that).
Also of note: this is only our second trip tracked with a Garmin Monterra GPS receiver, and a few user errors resulted in a small amount of data loss.
