Gettin' Out of the Cold in January


Alan and I took an opportunity to escape from the cold in Utah this month by booking a cruise to Hawaii. The weather was wonderful and the trip was fun.

We set sail on January 5th, 2013. We were welcomed to our cabin by a towel  bunny.


Our first excursion was on a scenic journey through upcountry Maui to the top of the world's largest dormant volcano, Haleakale. At the summit is a vast crater measuring seven and a half miles wide. The views from the top at over 10,000 feet above see level are magnificent.
