when we got our snorkel gear on sunday, we were talked into sitting in on a timeshare presentation in exchange for free parasailing. it was a good trade. an hour and a half of our time (with a salesman who insisted on calling himself skeeter) in exchange for 10 minutes 800 feet in the air over open ocean with maui on the left and molokai and lanai on the right was a good trade.

after the presentation, we headed to the iao valley - a lush valley in west maui. we made a couple stops along the way, including the tropical gardens of maui. the gardens were small but colorful. we also stopped off at kepaniwai park (aka heritage park) and walked around the exhibits and statues, and explored the iao stream.
