23-24 March 2019 We had to be out of the condo by 10 and didn't fly out until 10:55pm so we had a long day to fill with activities. First up was the condo clean-up. Once that was done we went driving and ended up at a (pricey) discount store. Nothing really struck our fancy … Continue reading The Last Long Day

Lots o’ Lava
22 March 2019 Lazy day. It was a bit cloudy and windy so we decided to go for a drive up the coast and hunt turtles. We first drove east along the South Kihei road and found the rich people's area. The houses and properties were huge! Lots of flowers and massive, shiny hotels. We … Continue reading Lots o’ Lava
Underwater Adventure
21 March 2019 Today was the day to appreciate life underwater. We headed back to Lahaina and braved the blazing sun to go to lunch at Bubba Gump's. Nice atmosphere and food but pricey for what you get. After that we went to Slip 6 and checked in with the Reefdancer tour company. We had … Continue reading Underwater Adventure
Luau in Lahaina
20 March 2019 After a lazy morning we packed up and headed over to Lahaina. We stopped at the Cool Cat Cafe in Old Lahaina for lunch. The portions were huge! Most everything was quite tasty although the onion rings were apparently lacking in flavour. After filling our tummies we did a bit of shopping … Continue reading Luau in Lahaina
Burnt at the Beach
19 March 2019 It had to happen, right? Stay inside all winter, get as pale as a fish belly, expose yourself to sun, sand and surf and voila, a super annoying crispy burnt body that shows how poorly the sun tan lotion was applied. 🤨 It was fun while it lasted. We packed up everything … Continue reading Burnt at the Beach
I Survived the Hana Highway
18 March 2019 We had a goal in mind - find a black sand beach. According to Google, the beach at Waianapanapa was the best, it was next to a lava tube and waterfalls as well. So, merrily unaware of what we were in for, we headed north and up to the Hana Highway. The … Continue reading I Survived the Hana Highway
Maui attractions
17 March 2019 Today started a bit later! We enjoyed Kona coffee and a selection of breakfast foods then decided to go to the Maui Tropical Plantation. We took a tram ride and saw many different things that they have growing at the plantation - a variety of palm trees, coffee plants, pineapples, coconuts, plumeria … Continue reading Maui attractions
The first day
16 March 2019 The day began at 5:00 am with 6 tired people wandering over to the airport and finding the international WestJet check-in desk. Bags dropped we got through security, bought food for the plane and pretty much immediately made our way onto the plane. The 7 hour ride was fairly uneventful with a … Continue reading The first day
A Birthday Week in Maui
15 March 2019 Phaedre requested a trip for her birthday so we all pooled resources and booked a trip to Maui for a week. Mom, Kim, Talon, Kylen, Phaedre and I made our way to Calgary to overnight. I brought cake for her birthday and, after finding the correct Marriot in the Calgary airport (there … Continue reading A Birthday Week in Maui
