But the exceedingly nice girl on the phone informed me that they didn't have set times for hikes anymore due to a decrease in attendance and tour guides could be called in if you make a reservation in advance (keep this in mind if you want to bring a group here). There was however, a little pamphlet that we could pick up at their main office to take us on a self guided hike, which was basically the same thing as the tour, she said. Also, they no longer charge $20, but they do have a 10 dollar suggested donation for upkeep of the trails and such. Sounds good! I said. When we got there, we were greeted by the same sweet girl from the phone. Although the place looked swamped with the arrival of a mass of little campers there to stay at their facilities for the night, she was very patient with Mom and I and answered all of our questions - even led us to the head of the trail! The trail was probably about a mile and half long. Up and down some minor hills (maybe to much for grandma to handle FYI). Along the way there are little numbers placed on the trail that correspond with the laminated sheet that they give you to tell you about all of the different types of plant life (which are native species, which were introduced, uses the natives had for the plants, etc) that exist in the rainforest. The sheet also fills you in on some Hawaiian history! Very educational. Bring someone literate! It's fun if you have someone read the sheet at each number. Careful! You might learn something.

The Hawaii Nature Center, located in the Iao Valley State Park, is a non-profit organization…read morededicated to fostering awareness, appreciation, and understanding of Hawaii and its natural environment, and providing a educational experience for visitors to the Islands. Iao Valley is the site of one of the most famous and bloody battles that changed Hawaiian history forever. On this site, In 1790, King Kamehameha I destroyed the Maui army in his effort to unite the Hawaiian Islands. The valley is still a sacred burial ground for the ancient kings and their people. The Nature Center offers guided hikes through the Iao Valley for a small fee. After crossing Iao Stream by bridge, the tour passes by an ancient village site, a live taro patch, and numerous indigenous, Polynesian-introduced, and recently-introduced exotic plants, including wild coffee trees and giant banana plants. The hike continues through the rainforest to the base of the majestic, 2,250' high Iao Needle pinnacle. The Iao Valley is the wettest spot on Maui, and the second wettest in all the Hawaiian Islands. Wear sturdy shoes, bring a light jacket, a hat, and lots of insect repellent. The mosquitos here are voracious. You can get a bite to eat at the snack bar at the Visitor's Center. Surprisingly, it is run by the owner's of the excellent Cafe O'Lei, and serves up gourmet-quality light fare.

I bought a…read moreridiculously cheap adult ticket and my 10yr old Little Sister was free (we are a mentor pair from Big Brother, Big Sister). The musical kept us both enthralled and waiting for our favourite songs, and it didn't disappoint, the actors sang their hearts out and the crowd loved it. I was thrilled when my favourite song included a parade down the centre aisle by the Prince and his retinue, acrobats and animals, glitter and gauze, palanquins and pomp, exactly what a musical should be. I was blown away with how professional the sets were, and the props, many homemade, were very realistic, especially a huge scary face and an hilarious panto elephant ;) Costuming was divine, Princess Jasmine's dress glittered with every movement, and the Genie looked exactly like a female genie should, bold and beautiful. Some of the techniques involved were especially effective, eg, slow mo action on stage accompanied by a flickering light creating a cinematography motion picture from early days. Creative and very enjoyable to watch, and so unexpected. Kudos to everyone involved, especially Ray Chin and his family who helped Aladdin come to life in west Maui. It was a packed theatre last Thursday night with people even sitting on the floor watching. Plus the tuck shop was open during the interval and pricing was cheap enough so everyone could buy a treat. For a $5 adult ticket and $3 treat I took my Little Sister out for a fantastically enjoyable and affordable night, which compared to the cinema where we have to travel an hour there and back and pay a huge amount for tickets and overpriced popcorn, it was a steal! Plus to see the community come together and create such a show and for all the joy they created for those involved and those watching, it was a triumph.

I think I should know a lot about this place as I spent 9 years of my life here. Back then (wow, I…read morefeel old, LOL) Kahului School was kindergarten through grade 8. My class, the class of 1989, was the last "graduating" class of Kahului School as Maui Waena Intermediate opened up the following school year. The school colors and red and blue, the mascot is the eagle. COOL FACT: The original Kahului School was located at the corner of Kaahumanu Avenue and Kane Street (across of the Maui Beach Hotel and Sears). The sole building stood vacant for years before being torn down maybe 20 years or so ago. THE SCHOOL: The current campus opened in the 1960's and is located at the corner of Lono and Hina Avenues. During my time, the campus consisted of several portable classrooms and 11 buildings all connected to a central covered walkway. It was designed with the youngest students situated at the front of the campus, progressing west towards Maui High School to the upper classmen. Accessibility is convenient via two major streets. None of the buildings were air conditioned except for the main office. Oh yeah, we soldier-children suffered through the heat! MEMORIES: I still remember the smell of the kindergarten classrooms and the hated nap time. Boy, how I long for an after-lunch nap now! Along with age came cafeteria duties. Yes, child labor! We were pulled early from one class and marched to the cafeteria to report for duty. We either helped move trays along the assembly line, emptied leftovers into the slop barrels, or even operated the Hobart-brand dishwasher (not kidding). Aside from ditching class early, you also got to eat lunch earlier. Chicken patty and battered fried fish days were an automatic home-lunch day for me as just the smell of them made me nauseous! Nowadays I like frozen fish sticks but still can't stomach the thought of a chicken patty. We recited the Pledge of Allegiance daily along with a local or national anthem/song of our choice. Yearbook production started around 1983 and I still possess all of them. Believe it or not, I had one "GT" (gifted & talented) class in around the 3rd grade. For some reason it was held in a makeshift janitor's office as there were just a few of us, LOL. Tuesdays were "film days". We all piled into the cafeteria, louvers closed, watching a projector screen in the dark. Excursion days were my favorite as we got to leave campus. You'd see classmates picking up bentos from Noda Market early in the morning before school. Numerous times we'd end up at Baldwin High School's auditorium to take in plays. I ran track for several years and competed in track meets. I was also a band geek and played the clarinet. Our bandroom was so ghetto! It was two portable classrooms surgically attached together to form a doublewide. TEACHERS: Yes, I still remember all nine homeroom teachers along with a few others. K = Mrs. Okuda, 1st = Mrs. Kimura, 2nd = Mrs. Rogers, 3rd = Mrs. Toda, 4th = Mrs. Wainui, 5th = Ms. Machida, 6th = Mrs. Shimabuku, 7th = Mr. Wright, 8th = Mr. Irimata. Band = Mr. Manzano, woodshop = Mr. Norman, PE = Mr. Yap. CURRENT DAY: Grades are now K through 5 only. Two of the permanent buildings burned down due to arson and were never replaced. More ugly portable classrooms dot the campus and faculty park all over the lawn by the kindergarten building. OVERALL: So many fun memories but I really didn't care for school.
