Hawaii is great! I thought it was about time I get to posting an update so here is a summary of the first couple of days.
Our trip to Hawaii started out early (6am Michigan time) – we had three flights to take on over the course of the day. It took a total of 11-hrs or so flying time to get to Hawaii. I must say that Alaska Air was *much* better than Delta. And Seattle was really beautiful! But it was great to finally get to Maui around 8:45pm HST. We headed straight for our condo in Kihei and crashed for the night!
We decided to take it easy on our first full day on the island. I went to the store to get some supplies for breakfast to enjoy on the lanai. We then headed down through Kihei which is a cool little beach town. We walked across the street to a cute little beach as well. And the weather was next to perfect!
We then took a trip over to west Maui to check out the famous beaches. We visited Kaanapali Beach. It was absolutely sublime… Couldn’t ask for z nicer spot and the water was great for a walk. Everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves.
We then drove even further down the coast for some awesome views of the west Maui coastline. It was rocky and rugged. And it got wetter and more tropical as we went. Breathtaking! I took lots if pictures.
Our last stop was the little tourist town of Lahaina. It’s a cook little place to shop and eat. It was an old whaling town and does retain *some* of that charm today. Mom found a few little things to buy and I enjoyed the harbor views. We walked down to the famous Banyan tree in the town center. It was amazing because there must have been hundreds of birds making all kinds of noise – it was like nothing I’ve ever heard! Almost like something out of “The Birds”! We capped off the day at “Cheeseburger in Paradise” (not recommended). It was a great day! Hawaii is unreal!
Tomorrow we drive the famous road to Hana.
