1,200 Feet Over Maui

Aloha!

Hubby and I are renting a plane later this week here in Maui, so yesterday, I went along when he had to go up on a test flight.  Even though hubby has been flying for many years, whenever you rent an airplane, you have to first go up with an instructor and perform a few basics, such as several "touch and goes", landings and take offs.

It was a beautiful, sunny day, but very windy, which made for a very bumpy ride!

 This is Hookipa Beach (above).  If you click on the photo, you might be able to see all of the windsurfers (there were dozens of them!), and it's considered the best place in the world for the sport!

 Acres and acres of sugar cane fields.  So pretty, I think!

This is a first for me, flying over a cruise ship!  As we flew over, I could see people lounging in chairs by the pool, and people playing basket ball on the court!  The looked like miniture people from above!

Coming in for a landing.  We landed and took off with the big jets, which is always exciting!

And back on land, a beautiful sunset at our place!

Hope you are all havinng a great week!  I'll share more photos of our adventures in a few days!
