Hana Maui

[Dave Jeffery]

Drew,

The odds of not seeing cockroaches in Hana is not good.

My friends had a bed and breakfast in Hana called Hana Meadows but I haven't been there for 10 years. The Meadows family ran it and my friend Jim Meadows would know me as Big Wave Dave from Makena. Their number is (808) 879-0494 (Jackie whom I don't know) and Jim Meadows at (808)874-8423. If these numbers don't work let me know and I'll get their new ones.

I used to spear prawns in the pools in the rivers there for dinner. Lots of great photo ops everwhere. We always made a trip to Auntie Jane's burger wagon past Kipuhulu but I'm not sure if she is still there. Sometimes she is already passed out on an upside down Zodiak and a lot disfunctional. Love that woman!

Another friend named Chuck Thorne has an interesting cave tour in Hana (Hana cave tours) which has a lot of features not found many other places. As the lava rose up and dropped in the caves it made the roof and sides look like it was dipped in chocolate as well as other interesting aspects. Chuck knows me from some diving and underwater shoots we did for the Discovery Channel.

Another friend has a solar powered place there but it's crawling with critters. I hardly notice when a cockroach crawls on me after living on Maui so many years.

The nicest rentals on Maui are handled by Irene Aroner of Tropical Villa Vacations, but they are not inexpensive.
