Maui - Day 3


Twin Falls Fruit Stand where we bought some fresh pineapple and a fruit smoothie with sugar cane juice.



It was a trek to get to those waterfalls but so worth it and the water was so refreshing. We regret not bringing out bathing suits.


He jumped off the cliff a few times. The waves were so big. We ran into him on our way to the parking lot and showed him the pictures we got of him. He actually used to live in Fountain Valley on Warner and Bushard (small world!) and is now a teacher in Maui.

Our afternoon was spent laying out at the beach and relaxing in the pool. We had dinner reservations at Sansei, a very popular Japanese restaurant in Kapalua.


After dinner we head back to the hotel just in time to catch the sunset. This has to be the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen.

Then we head to Front Street to walk around. We had to run down the hill to catch the hotel shuttle because it only comes around every hour. That was not fun! But we made it and got to taste the best shaved ice in the world. It was almost like gelato...very smooth, no chunks of ice. We got lychee, mango, coconut and tamarind flavors. I miss it already!


Maui - Day 2

Breakfast at Gazebo's...that was the line when they opened at 7:30


Went on our first helicopter ride. Saw the West Maui Mountains and beautiful waterfalls in neighbor island, Molokai.

Got a snack at The Flatbread Co. in Paia. Best flatbread ever! They use all natural ingredients and support the farms in the area. I told them they have to open a restaurant in Orange County :)

Dinner at Mama's Fish House...this was our table on the sand.

Sam's yummy fish. He ate it all...nothing left but bones (does that really surprise anyone though).

Maui - Day 1

We arrived in Maui on May 28th after a really long flight. It was hot, cloudy and muggy; not what we expected. First duty on hand - visit Costco. Then we checked in at the Sheraton Maui where we are upgraded to a deluxe ocean view :) Explored the resort, watched the Torch Lighting and Cliff Jumping Ceremony and visited Whaler's Village.
