Live Aloha - Part 2 is dedicated to the lush vegetation and plant life of the island. The exotic beauty of the islands today is a remarkable contrast to their beginnings as a series of volcanic eruptions beneath the surface of the oceans from which the land masses finally emerged. Everywhere I went I was stopped in my tracks to investigate and marvel at the richness of the landscape and vegetation, all surrounded by brilliant blue waters and bright sunlight.
Botanical Gardens located on the Hana side of Maui.

Boardwalk section of the Wailea Coastal Nature Trail looking across the Alalakeiki Channel.
The trail runs parallel to the string of upscale and pricey beachfront resort hotels that line this section of the island. Beware of joggers! Despite the hotel traffic, it is a beautiful walk and there is much to see and savor.

Has been many years since we took annual trips to Kauai and Oahu. Your pictures are gorgeous and make me "homesick" and ready to go back! Maybe I'll add it to the bucket list...........
