swimsuit under my clothing<\/a>, because we were going waterfall hunting.<\/strong> \u00a0I envisioned clear lagoons in the sunshine and photos of us splashing in the sparkling cascade. \u00a0We were heading for the jungle side of Maui (but not quite to the torturous section of the Hana Highway), to find Twin Falls. \u00a0<em>The map showed the entrance to the falls as being two miles past the junction with the 365, north of Kahului airport.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Knowing that the words &#8220;trip to Hana&#8221; cause me distress, Greg indicated on the map just how far we were NOT going, and <strong>enticed me with reports of an excellent snack stand at the trailhead. \u00a0<\/strong><em>He said it was supposed to be a one mile walk to the falls.<\/em> \u00a0Our fellow 30th anniversary

great place it would be to play as a boy. They also teased us about piranha and crocodiles. <em>Carnivorous fish or not,<\/em> we women limited the mud bath to our bare feet. A heavy drizzle tried to compensate for our not plunging under the waterfall. The ubiquitous rocks and tangled roots became more slippery, but remaining barefoot for a while helped me.
