Forget looking at another snowy or cold post and let your eyes feast on sun and warmth!
Maui is one of my most favorite places on earth. With our Europe trip being at the top of my list, Maui would be tied for a close second with Costa Rica. I first went in 2003 with my family as a college graduation gift for me and a high school graduation gift for my brother. Then, in 2005 and 2008 we went with Derek's family. Over the years, I've pretty much done all luau's and excursions, eaten at most of the big restaurants and seen all of the best sights. Each time was unique and amazing, though, and I would enjoy going back 20 more times!
In case you know anyone going anytime soon, here are some of my faves:
Road to Hana day trip
Mama's Fish House restaurant
Banyan Tree in Lahaina
Teralani Sailing
Haleakala - See the sunrise and then bike down!
Old Lahaina Laua
These pictures are from 2008...
I think it's about time to go back!
Gorgeous pictures!!! I would love to go to Hawaii one day! Thanks for recommending your favorites...I'm going to bookmark them so when I finally convince my hubby we NEED to go there, I'll have them. :)
ReplyDeleteHawaii - beautiful! Much better than the snow we have right now here in VA :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh that looks wonderful right about now! Holy cow how tall is Derek's brother?
ReplyDeleteOriginally we wanted to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon but I was overwhelmed by the price of plane tickets and how long the flight would be. I still would say it's on my bucket list though.
ReplyDeleteWow - you have been so many times. Andy has been once and I've made it there...never. But it is definitely on our bucket list as the kids get older. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are headed back there in May! While I've done all the things you listed, Scott has not. So I cannot wait to share all that fun with him!!
ReplyDeleteI Loved Maui so much!! Road to Hana was the best day of our entire vacation!! I recommend anyone that goes to do it.
ReplyDeleteWe went three years ago and I can't wait for the day when we get to go back! Most beautiful place I've been. And I agree...we loved exploring Road to Hana!

Wow! That's awesome you've been so many times! I love all the pics! I'd love to go to Maui one day. I've only been to Oahu so far.
ReplyDeleteIs that your BIL, the ginger? :) What a nice graduation present for you and your brother! I've never been to Hawaii, but if I can ever get over this weird fear of flying I've developed over the years, I would love to go!!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh I love Maui! You just took me back to my honeymoon!
