On the road to Hana

Originally uploaded by aliciamalia. Hana, Hana, Hana--every guidebook you read insists that it's an absolute must when you're in Hawaii. My question--how did Hana get such a reputation? Yes, the drive is lovely, but it's so much prettier once you leave Hana! We stopped at a dozen different places before the town, and all paled in comparison to the hike we took in Haleakala National Park, a few miles past the town. Lindberg's grave is more exciting! So drive the road quickly, and linger at the better spots further on.
