		<description><![CDATA[ Today’s Aloha Friday Photos come to us from Fidel. He and his wife took their very first trip to Maui back in May. Fidel and his wife took the early morning drive up to the top of Haleakala to watch sunrise , making sure they arrived early enough for the outstanding stargazing. Fidel tells me he was in awe when he arrived at the summit at 4am and adding, “Looking up the sky, seeing the thousands of bright stars and the milky way interspersed in between them made me breathless.  It felt like I could just grab and play them in my hands!  It was one of the most amazing sight I&#8217;ll ever see and remember.“ Fidel notes the following planets he found among the stars: Jupiter (top), Venus (below left) and Mars (right of Venus). I&#8217;ve had a similar experience as Fidel had on Haleakala. It’s simply incredible to see that many stars in that dark, night sky. As you are making your Hawaii vacation plans, I’d encourage you to read my article about stargazing in Hawaii for tips on when and where to go. Fidel took this photo just a bit later in the morning. He noted that, at this point, Mars became so faint that it was almost unnoticeable. If you are planning to go to Haleakala to watch sunrise on your Maui vacation, I highly recommend that you read my tips to make the most of you Haleakala sunrise visit . I recommend that you arrive early to stargaze and watch for shooting stars. Fidel went on to note that most people at the summit seemed completely unaware of the star-filled sky. Sadly, they seemed focused on the sole task of watching sunrise. If they only realized what they were missing, they would have seized the moment. Mahalo to Fidel for sharing these beautiful pre-sunrise Haleakala photos and his observations with us! © Go Visit Hawaii &#8211; Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.

		<description><![CDATA[ From my recent visit to Lana’i, I was reminded of how much better polarized sunglasses are for touring Hawaii. So, I wanted to republish this blast from the past post – Hawaii in High Definition with Polarized Sunglasses . &#8212;- If you don’t already have a pair of polarized sunglasses, do yourself a favor and get some to bring on your Hawaii vacation. They really do make a difference. You know the phrase, “Sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know”? Well that was the case with me until I had a chance to try polarized sunglasses for myself. Andy had a pair of polarized glasses and I noticed that sometimes he’d make comments about things he could see, but I couldn’t. Then Andy would let me try on his polarized glasses and I could see what he was seeing. Wow, what a difference! Polarized sunglasses are perfect for Hawaii because they cut down on the glare of the sun on the ocean and sand. When the glare is removed, you are able to see a greater depth of colors. Sometimes, polarized sunglasses help you see into the water, making coral and fish visible. Another advantage of polarized sunglasses is that it prevents your eyes from getting fatigued. When you’re out driving and sightseeing, not only are you able to see more without glare, your eyes aren’t getting tired. They’ll make a big difference when you go out on boating tours, too. So, where do you purchase polarized sunglasses and how much do they cost? I’ve noticed that polarized sunglasses have become more widely available – even within the last year. I’ve found them at discount stores like Walmart and Target for under $20. I purchased mine from my local REI store on sale for less than $30. Designer glasses are more widely available in men’s styles. I’ve shopped for ladies designer glasses and the selection is very slim. When you are shopping for polarized glasses look for a sticker or tag that says they’re polarized. If it’s daytime when you are shopping, test glasses by looking though a window or around any surface that might reflect a glare. Have you tried polarized sunglasses? Are you a fan of them, too?

		<description><![CDATA[ From my advice for watching Haleakala sunrise , I recommend that you map out your directions at least a day before you plan to go. Otherwise, you’ll be fumbling around for directions in the dark while you’re only half awake. That’s a recipe for getting lost in a hurry. In theory, getting to the summit of Haleakala sounds easy peasy. In my opinion, it&#8217;s not as easy as it seems. Though, we&#8217;ve been to Haleakala for sunrise multiple times, we still sometimes wonder if we&#8217;re headed in the right direction. Driving in the deep dark of the night just adds to the challenge. The last time we drove to Haleakala for sunrise, we temporarily parked at the Visitors Center. We had a brief argument discussion whether we were in the correct spot or not. I&#8217;m not going to say who was right or wrong but I asked Andy to humor me and continue drive a bit further, because I could faintly see that we hadn&#8217;t reached the summit. Well, he did and then we reached the summit. To help clear confusion. Andy created this brilliant custom Google map identifying the summit parking lot. From this map you can enter your starting point to generate your personalized directions to the summit. (Disclaimer: Please note that the summit parking lot is accurately identified, however, sometimes Google directions may not be 100% accurate.) View Haleakala Summit Parking Lot in a larger map More hints and tips to help you get to the sunrise view: - Once get onto the winding road to the summit, you need to drive as high as the road takes you. The prime sunrise viewing point is at the summit. - After you&#8217;ve found the correct parking area, you&#8217;ll need to find a short trail that leads you to the a hexagonal-shaped shelter.  You can see that shelter in the satalite-view in the custom Google Map. - Use a GPS Navigation System if you have one. The audible directions are very helpful in the dark. - Review more tips on my Haleakala sunrise post, including what to bring and wear. © Go Visit Hawaii &#8211; Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.
