It rained all the way to Haleakala National Park and we were a little bummed but we decided to be adventurous and go anyway. Luckily the rain stopped just before we got there. It did rain on us a little during our Pipiwai trail hike but just enough to make it fun! We took lots of pictures and Devon says it's her favorite thing we've done so far. We were also the first people on the trail that day so we had it to ourselves on the way there.
I was a little upset to find they changed the end of the trail so you can't get as close as you used to. I was going to ignore the sign and go closer anyway but DW said not to & the water was running pretty hard and if I'd gotten hurt I would have never heard the end of it so we took pics from as close as we could and headed back.
The original plan was to BBQ at the hotel that evening but the rain cancelled that so we cooked some personal Digiorno pizzas at the room and took a power nap. At 3pm we had our couple's massage at Luana Spa overlooking the bay & it was fantastic! They never disappoint.
Afterward we washed some clothes at the hotel and decided we wanted to dress up a little so we did & went for dinner at the Travaasa. The reviews online are a little harsh. The food was good. Yeah, it's pricey, but for fine dining at the edge of the world you are going to pay for it. Everything we had was good! Not exceptional but still quite good. I had the fried beef skewers & BLT salad & DW had the eggplant & Parmesan pasta dish.
We ended the night with glasses of wine and a game of scrabble since the Hana Kai has board games in the room, which is convenient and fun.
