Aloha,
We arrived at Kahului on the island of Maui at 8:00am and we left the ship at 10:30am to begin our tour of Haleakala National Park and drove to the summit of a massive shield volcano that rises 10,023 feet above sea level.  We had fantastic views of Maui.  We also saw the beautiful Ahinahina (Silversword) plant which only grows in this area and can take up to fifty years to bloom.
We also visited the 1200 foot Iao Needle and the sacred Iao Valley.

We returned to the cruise ship around 3:00pm and I had plenty of time to relax on my balcony and also explore more of the ship. Later at night I went to the Hollywood Theater and watched the Polynesian dancers.  Wish I could do the moves they do! 
Aloha,
