The diving off Lana‘i was fantastic! It’s a wonderful island.

Incidentally, this photo is of a sunset over Lahaina, not Lana‘i. (I may have mistitled it when I first posted it on Flickr, I took the photo. :) )

Lahaina (on Maui), on the other hand, was a tourist trap. A nicer one, as those things go. But it was swarming with people, all perusing “local wares” (most made elsewhere) and eating in resort town chain restaurants. That’s not all there is in Lahaina, but after the relative seclusion of Hana and Honokowai, it was quite jarring.
