Well, this would be the day I decided\u00a0to drive the Kahekili Highway (Route 340) from Ka’anapali over to Kahului. \u00a0Marianne was not pleased with the drive, although the sights are dramatic if you can take your eyes off the road while trying to keep on the narrow one-lane highway with two-way traffic.<\/p>\n

But, first, we saw the sights along the better parts of the highway on the western edge before it gets narrow:

After the road narrowed, Marianne was too terrified and worried about the driving that I had to do to even think about taking pictures. \u00a0Therefore, I went to Google Earth’s Street View, and captured a few images of the drive down this section of highway. \u00a0The yellow line is an overlay on the image of the route traveled by the imaging vehicle.<\/p>\n
