Day 3 of Honeymoon

Day 3, fortunately, did not start quite as early as Day 2. We didn't have to be up at the break of dawn in order to catch the sunrise, and since our hotel was on the west side of Maui, we weren't going to be any sunrises anytime soon. We got up around 7:00 and headed off to Kahului for our helicopter ride with Alex Air. We booked the Doors Off Tour that would go over West Maui and Molokai. Definitely worth booking!

The first thing they do after giving you the safety speech, is equip us with air flight suits. These suits were one piece suits that covered our jeans and shirts. This was to ensure that anything in our pockets wouldn't just fall out of the helicopter, you know, since there aren't any doors. We were allowed our camera and that was it. It needed a strap in order to ensure we didn't just drop it out the helicopter, and then we were on our way!

Once we landed, we tipped our helicopter guy and headed back to our hotel in Ka'anapali Villas. We decided we might as well spend the afternoon on the beach again, since, hey, we're in Maui!

After a nice relaxing time on the beach, we headed back to the room to change into some real clothes and then went back to the beach to watch the sunset before going to dinner. We watched a lot of sunsets while we were there.
