Is Maui really so wowee??
... in she got busted and got booted from the club. Thus our night of clubbing in Maui came to an abrupt halt and we headed back into Kihei to chill at a local bar called Life's a Beach. It was okay but I was soooooo sleepy I just wanted to pass out. The ...
Iao Valley
... than we were... Zeona had to work in the afternoon, and despite my good intentions to go out and have a look around Kihei, I discovered an addiction to America's Next Top Model which, it turns out, is actually fairly addictive TV. Something I would ...
Maui
... happy with the Maui Kama'ole. I can see the attraction of West Maui though - it is a beautiful area and although the Kihei region has nice beaches the town itself is basically just a long strip of condo complexes, strip malls, restaurants etc along Kihei ...
Das 21-Problem
... aus der Schweiz hat seinen USA-Trip aus genau dem Grund zum Beispiel auch erst nach seinem 21. Geburtstag angetreten! In Kihei besorgen wir uns bei Foodland noch Sachen fuers Barbecue am Abend (RIESIGE Steaks!!!) und ueberreden Rory auf der Heimfahrt ...
Ich lieg am Strand...

Glasklares Wasser, entspannende Ukulele-Musik, Buckelwale, fliessende Lava, Hula Taenzerinnen, Surfer, tonnenweise Fisch, farbige Blumen, Polynesische Einfluesse, Straende und darum herum Tausende Kilometer Pazifik. E Komo Mai – Willkommen in ...
Staying with a family!
... was delayed by more than an hour. Cara just arrived at the airport when I collected my luggage and we drove to her home in Kihei. She has 3 adorable sons – Philip, Danile and baby Markus - and moved about a year ago from Vancouver to Maui with the ...
Sir, There is Nudity and Marijuana Down There
... pathways that separate the beaches. The pathways are on private property, but everyone can use them. If anyone is booking a place in Kihei (pronouced KEY-hay) and wants to be near one of the good beaches, you have to be on the main drag, ...
Lava Flows
We went back to Makena beach (again), but this time, at the end of the day, we explored a bit further south. The Bay is called La Perouse Bay after a French Explorer who has one of the longest names in history. There is a monument ...
Parade, Carnival and Reliable Makena
It was Whale Day in Maui, and the centre of the action was literally just outside our window. Max and Laine watched the set up in the days approaching. Max has the sense that, once the porto potties arrive, you have a real event. Our ...
Luau
... with everyone, but I loved the sweet potato. Our waiter explained the orange sweet potatoes grown in the United States are a cross betweeen the purple sweet potato from Molokai and a European potato. They had other traditional foods ...
Soaking Up the Last Couple of Days
Everyone was content to hang around the pool today. Max took his rented flippers in the pool (or "fins" as they call them here). Naturally, Laine was then interested so we walked next door to rent a pair for her. And the bullet twins ...
Hanging with our besties in Maui!
We made it to Maui nice and early and Reta and Dale picked us up at the airport. We made our way to Costco for food and bevvies then to our gorgeous condo where we would stay for four nights and five days together. What a blast we had and it was awesome ...
The Glorious Road to Hana
... the shadows doesn't work so well. Although it makes it a very slow haul, numerous stops is definitely recommended. We left Kihei at 9:30am and got into Kahului at 5:30 for the long-promised supper at McDonald's. Obviously, our approach did ...
Surfing!
Max and I took our surfing lessons today. Sal arranged a two-hour lesson for us. We had two instructors for eight students. Max was the youngest and I was the oldest. Apparently, it's best to be the youngest. I started off ...
Last Day in Paradise & Toronto
We hung around the condo pool most of the last day. I had done my best to find alternate accommodations but the island was full. No one would give a day rate anywhere. Our Plan B was to overextend our welcome at the condo ...
Whales Off Shore and Human Fish
We were back to Makena Beach for the full day today. We trudged a cooler full of lunch, umbrellas, chairs, cameras, boogie boards, snorkel gear, etc down to the beach like cheap, too-white tourists we are. Max boogie boarded for no ...
Back Down to Earth
... he called "Big Wave Town." He's getting pretty adept at riding the big ones and not fighting the undertow. We made the move to Kihei driving through the first bit of rain we've had. The condos are not much to look at from the outside, but as ...
Molokini
Molokini is a crescent-shaped island just a few miles from Kihei as the crow flies. The edge that sticks up is the remainder of a crater that filled up with water. Not surprisingly, coral grew on its sides and it has become a day ...
Iao Needle and the Wild Surf of the North Shore
... we all pack sweaters because of the altitude, being the knowledgeable mountaineer that I am. It was the same 28 degrees that it was in Kihei. The Park was easy to find; it is a short drive from Wailuku and the trails are by a parking lot ...
Kamaole Sunsets
... a seat switch, I was on the plane again and then thankfully, soon enough, in Maui! So....slight chaos....but all worth it. Kihei is beautiful! And I've only seen it in the dark!! Our condo was right off Kamaole #3 park and a very short ...
Back to Visit Family and Family Visiting
With the endless in full gear, I decided to go home for a few weeks to spend time with my family. In addition to visiting my folks, my family from Japan also made the trek to Hawaii. There was so many different things i've done while here. So i think ...
Woo Hoo... We are here!
Wow... My arms will be black and blue by the time I get finished this vacation.. I still think I'm dreaming. The country side on the way from the airport is so lush and the mountains (old volcanoes) are so breath taking... What a place. ...
It's really good to be back on Maui!
... ft Motorhome, and started traveling around North America. So far, we've been to 49 of the Continental US States, down the east coast of Mexico and back up the west coast, with a little in between and even a few small parts of ...
Maui, Day 2
Well, this wasn't the smallest room we've stayed in (that was Honolulu at the beginning of the trip), but it was pretty close. In Maui, it seems like there are three lodging alternatives. First, a rental condo - expensive and usually only by the week. ...
