Fairmont Kea Lani Resort Wailea

If you're looking for something to do in Maui and don't want to go to the beach, that's not a problem. Maui boat excursions on the Reef Dancer are a great way to experience the underwater life without actually going under water. On board the Reef Dancer you can watch the best reef viewing tour in all of Hawaii.Trained and experienced ...

Today is Sunday and we came on the ship yesterday. We are really being lazy.<br>After boarding the ship we started wandering around the ship. We came upon a group of people just leaving a room and we jumped into the group to take the restaurant tour and we were glad we did. Later in the day we went aback ...

... und fuhren mindestens zwei stunden länger als uns lieb war... als wir endlich an der westküste in den touristenorten kihai und lahaina ankamen war es schon stockdunkel. Die zimmerpreise waren horrend und so landeten wir in einem immernoch völlig überteuerten und altmodischen guesthouse. Am nächsten tag wollten wir uns früher um eine preiswerte unterkunft in der nähe des strandes kümmern aber alles war viel zu teuer und wohl nur auf ...

... happens much. Apparently this is not a native Hawaiian custom, the missionaries actually created this tradition. The Hawaiian tradtion is to give Lei when people are leaving as a leaving present so that they can take a part of Hawaii away with you so that you can carry Hawaii in your heart past it's boarders. That is one thing that has suprised me, just how deeply spiritual Hawaiian's are. So we booked ourselves onto the Lei making class ...

... but easy to swim against if you have fins. Lots of great life up against the wall, and beautiful schools of fish in the more open areas. We drove up the 30 to find a second snorkel spot, but the sun was setting. Beautiful amazing views dominated the drive, and we pulled over and just enjoyed the scenery. In the distance, we could ...

... modified 4 x 4 trucks (utes) (pick-up trucks) with bodies suspended high above huge widely spaced and protruding tires, almost necessitating a ladder to access the cab. It might be the reason, but I doubt that many of them spend much of their lives off road, as most seem to only exist to be seen and admired as macho fashion statements by lesser mortals with lesser vehicles- it just seems to be the fashion ...

... to go into sensory overload so I asked which fish would be good both grilled and steamed Chinese style. He suggested the uku which he said we could also eat sashimi style. Done. Hey, he's Japanese, so I trust his opinion on sashimi. We bought the moilua sashimi and a slab of uku (a little under a pound). $17.60. We did some of the uku sashimi and had ...

... of everything for cheapo. A very short (20 minutes) and extremely turbulent flight from Honolulu to Maui we arrived at our destination for the next 10 days. Jeff was green from motion sickness and I was tipsy from the cosmopolitan that I got in a little plastic tube on the flight from with !go! airlines. They have these little bottles/tubes of pre-made drinks like cosmo's and mojitos. I had fun on the plane but did feel bad for poor Jeff who was ...

... start work at 2 am and finish around 1 pm. My sleeping schedule was all messed up, I only worked 3 days a week but the hours made it seem like more. I have to admit though, my job was pretty cool, watching the sun rise over the craters at the top of a 10,000 ft. volcano. With this job I also learned a lot about the history of the island and its people, agriculture and climate. Nathalie found a really cool job in this little restaurant called Cafe Des Amis. It's funny because we ...
