Headed off to Maui today for part of my vacation. Here’s Molokini, a favorite amongst divers, as I descended into Maui after the short flight from Kona. I’m surprised that Aloha Airlines has resumed a number of direct flights, maybe they’re trying to make up for Go! airlines’ business.
Okay, when you travel interisland you gotta dig on the local food favorites. One place that’s a must is Komoda Bakery.
And what you buy at Komoda is creampuffs. This is the full-on fattening, airy-light outside and custard goodness inside kind. I could have eaten the whole box myself. Sure Maui has a Krispy Creme shop but I bypassed that and went for these creampuffs, that should tell you something.
Went to a lavender farm in up-country Maui. Light rain, fragrant flowers and cool weather was a nice change from hot and humid Kona and Kahului.
Dawn gets a photo of me getting a photo. you can see how high-tech my photo gear is to get that flower photo.
Alii Kula Lavender in upcountry Maui is another great stop. This Kula farm is beautiful and has a variety of lavenders growing there. They even had lavender sherbet which tasted interesting.

Click on any of the photos to enlarge. I know most of these photos got posted late but hey, I had an earthquake to deal with.
