Give us the Road to Hana any day.  They can have Highway 1, Route 66, or even the Autobahn.  We're stopping to smell the roses.  Or in this case, taking the time to appreciate the pineapples, sugarcane, orchids, anthuriums, hibiscus, papayas, gingers, heliconias, breadfruits, bananas, taro and much, much more.  Your senses are introduced to new wonders at every dip and turn,… and you begin to understand why the Polynesians (between 500-800 A.D.) sailed thousands of miles across the mysterious ocean to make these isolated islands their new home.  The sea and the land provide plenty for those who learn and respect the old ways.  Opportunities abound for a simple and peaceful existence all along the unspoiled Hana coast.
