Favorites

We have mainly stayed in the south end of the island this trip (Wailea) and have found some beaches we love including Wailea, Polo, Mokapu and Ulua (my favorite for snorkeling).  We also enjoyed Kamole and Keawakapu in Kihei.  We saw awesome fireworks in Lahaina on 4th of July (but overall a bit too many tourists in this area).  We went to the west end today and visited Napili, Kapalua and Honolua Bay.  The beaches on the west end seem to be a bit windier and rougher, with the exception of Honolua Bay which is calm and shallow with the most amazing reef for snorkeling.

So far for food, the best place we have gone is MonkeyPod in Wailea.

Tomorrow we are taking a boat out to Molokini to snorkel.  I will update the blog when we come back from the trip.

Overall a wonderful trip full of beach, pool and family time!

More Pics from Maui

 We have managed to find some great beaches!  These pictures of from various days and locations.  For the most part we have gone to the many great beaches around Wailea.  Today we went to the west end and visited Napili, Kapalua, and Honolua Bay.

Maui Update

Today we landed at Polo Beach.  Not only was it beautiful and gentle for the kids, but there was fantastic snorkeling.  We saw tons of colorful fish by the rocks and close-in (literally in standing water).  I don't have a water camera, so no pics of the fish.  Best day so far with the weather, too.

Maui

We are lucky enough to spend two weeks in Maui.  We are staying south in Wailea.  It is lush and green with lots of resorts and homes.  We have managed to go to a different beach every day and even saw fireworks in Lahaina on the 4th.

Cool, pine cone trees everywhere.
