Aloha from the bus!

Aloha!  My best friend, Christian, and I had the amazing treat to go to Maui for a week together!  We've been planning this trip for 10 years now and it was better than I could have ever imagined.  Seeing that we are both mid-twenty somethings living on a budget, we decided to try and be car-less and do our best to walk around and bus it up!  Several times throughout the trip we would say, "isn't it just so nice not to have a car???" and it was amazing not to have to park or bother with navigating around. It felt great to walk to dinner or to the grocery store or the lovely beach seen below!

 Check out the rainbow!  Even though it hardly rained, we saw a rainbow just about everyday!

 One day, we decided to head up to Wailuku, a little town north of Lahaina where we were staying.  Maui has a great bus system and we decided to give it a try.  Every first Friday there is a street fair up there and it sounded like so much fun!!

Here we are on the bus!  What gorgeous views! We each bought a day pass for $4 and thought it was well worth it!  Each way it was about an hour ride, but oh so beautiful.

Before we got to Wailuku, we decided to hop off the bus at the Maui Tropical Plantation.  It's a beautiful place and there is a train ride that takes you all around the fields of bananas, pineapples, coffee, and much more!

If you look really close, check out the guy in the black shirt with the stripey pants!  Steven Tyler was at the Plantation about to zipline!

Waiting outside the plantation to get back on the bus to head to the street fair!

Mahalo for reading!  Missing the 80 degrees and sunshine...

Love and paka loha,
Bus Girl
