We woke up and got packed, got some breakfast and took Dave J. to the airport since he had to leave on an earlier flight. Then Steve, Dave and I headed out to drive the last part of the coastline we hadn't done yet.
The amazing thing about the Hawaiian island is that since it has a windward (wetter) and a leeward (drier) side, you can find almost any climate!
Every part of this island has been awesome, and this area was no different. Not quite as lush, but still gorgeous.
This side had had some sweet rocky beaches,
and at one point, we saw a mtn side filled with waterfalls all the way down.
After bit of driving, we got a little hungry so we stopped at a little shack that advertised coffee and fruit drinks.
This shack had no electricity, only a propane fridge, and... a bike. If YOU wanted a blended drink, YOU had to peddle!
It sure was good though. After that, we went to the Seven Sacred Pools,
hiked around a bit and headed out. We made it around to Hana and just kept on truckin. We drove the whole east side of the island, finishing up the drive as the sun went down.
We got some food and headed to the airport. When I went to check in, the lady behind the counter said, 'im sorry, but i don't see your reservation", WHAT THE FREAK! ! ! Turns out,,, I booked my ticket for the wrong date. My flight wasn't untill the following night, which would put me back into SoCal too late to make it back in time to see my first few patients! She said that the flight was overbooked with no chance of getting on, my only chance to make it back in time to get to school was to show up the next morning, be the first one in line, and try to get on a standby flight on Mon morning. So, thats what i had to do. I spent a smelly night in the cheap hotel, got up, showered and was there an hr before they opened, the first one in line then the spent all day waiting in the airport. Booooooo. But, I did make it back safe and sound. And, so ended my wonderfully short little stay in paradise. Here is a little map or some of our journeys
