Once we got to Hana, we found the Bamboo Inn. It was rated pretty well in the guidebooks, so we took the chance. It's a small place with only 3 rooms available to rent. One is a hotel-type room with a bed and small lanai. The other is a small suite that has a separate bedroom and living area, all on ground level. The one they had available for us was the one bedroom, two-story suite with kitchenette. The price was right, so we hoped for the best.
When we drove up no one was around, but there was a notice board with an "ARRIVALS" area. In an envelope were directions to the Naia Suite and the keys. We let ourselves in and within about a minute I decided that this is what heaven will be like when I die. Look at the video and see what I mean. This was exactly what I had hoped all of Maui would be like - comfortable island decor, soft island breezes, the sound of the waves on the beach right outside my door, no noisy traffic, tourists or TV's. We went off to the two stores in all of Hana to pick up supplies for dinner - just the basic necessities: some wine and cheese for happy hour and steaks for grilling later.
I told Luis that if I ever ran away from home, this is where I'd be. A little later I changed it to "when" I run away from home. He exchanged emails with our host, John, just in case he has to track me down some day.
