Maui Impressions.

Maui Impressions.

Here a few impressions of our Maui trip: As we drove from the airport to our resort on the  west end of the island, I was a bit shocked to see the land from highway 30 inward to be dry, almost desert looking while the resorts, hotels, residential and commercial properties that typically occupied the space between the highway and the sea were green, even lush in composition at times. You can feel rain droplets coming down upon you but…
