		<description><![CDATA[It was a dark and dreary day at the Highway 1 that runs along the beautiful California coastline. The rains have been around for a long long time, and there was no sign of letting up. We just had to get away. As we crossed the Santa Cruz mountains, the rain disappeared, but the dreariness [...]]]></description>

The faces say it all.
You don&#8217;t need to say much when the faces breathe life, and the story of their lives. What always amaze me in India is the inner happiness that spills out from even poor people. Look at the face of the Auto-rickshaw driver, who possibly gets by with an equivalent of a [...]]]></description>

They said not to do it!
They said to take the Hana Highway (State Highway 360) all the way to Kipahulu, past Hana, and then drive back the same long winding way, even if the curvy road makes you sick.
The guidebooks cautioned against driving on the Piilani Highway, despite it being the most obvious, shorter and [...]]]></description>

I knew about the &#8220;Road to Hana&#8221; long before I even stepped foot on Maui. In fact, I knew about the road long before I even thought of visiting Maui. An article about the road appeared in a travel magazine I was reading, which described eloquently with vividly wordy imagery the travails and the wonders [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s an ominous sounding name; Haleakala. In Hawaii language, however, it means something less ominous: &#8220;House of the Sun&#8221;. At 10023 feet, Haleakala is the third highest volcano in the Hawaii islands, after Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island. Haleakala is a dormant volcano, the last eruption having occurred many years ago, [...]]]></description>

Someone told me there are cliff-jumpers as the sun goes down over the Black Rock on Kaanapali Beach near Lahaina. That was not to be missed.
So there we were, on the beach of Maui Sheraton as it was getting dark to watch the cliff jumpers. On the way, we passed by a Luau being performed [...]]]></description>

It was raining one winter afternoon when we got to the Iao Valley State Park.
I hear it&#8217;s raining there still.
We were driving down via the Kahekili Highway (or State Highway 340) which skirts the north-west side of Maui. Somewhere near Wailuku, we followed the road up to the Iao Valley State Park. It&#8217;s a narrow [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Maui, they don&#8217;t talk about the Kahekili Highway much. 
It&#8217;s the road, known also as State Highway 340, that skirts the north side of West Maui, along its jagged shoreline. The rental car companies wouldn&#8217;t want their cars on that road. Guidebooks recommend against driving that road. But, as it happens, for those that [...]]]></description>
