I’m Heading to Hawaii as This Post Goes Live

Today’s photo of the day is of shores of the Hana Highway on Maui, Hawaii.

The Hāna Highway is a 68-mile long stretch of Hawaii State Routes 36 and 360 which connects Kahului with the town of Hāna in east Maui. ~courtesy of Wikipedia.

Although Hāna is only about 52 miles (84 km) from Kahului, a typical trip to Hāna takes about three hours, as the road is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one-lane bridges, requiring oncoming traffic to yield and occasionally causing brief traffic jams if two vehicles meet head-on.

Thanks to the schedule feature of the blog, this post is going live as my wife and I join her 91 year old grandparents on a family trip back to Maui.
