Maui was amazing! Not only was there plenty of great beaches and snorkeling, but there were several great hikes, wonderful food, beautiful breezes, and lots of history. Just my kind of vacation and a memorable way to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.
We stayed four nights in the busy historic and touristy town of Lahaina on the West Shore, and four nights in at the Inn at Mama's Fish House, near laid-back town of Paia on the North Shore. We had a lot of fun in Lahaina, but being at Mama's Fish House took my breath away. Mama's restaurant is extremely popular and well-reviewed, but the Inn is lesser known. Good thing for us since it meant we could get one of 12 rooms.
There was a small cove in front of Mama's that offered convenient access to the ocean. The restaurant faced the water and diners would have their photos taken by the palm trees that lined the small hill that ran down to the water.
Our suite was quite luxurious and I made it my business to enjoy all the comfort it offered!
But we didn't just hang around our wonderful room. In addition to doing some snorkeling, eating, and checking out the beach vibe, we did some great hikes on that side of the island, including the Wailhee Ridge Trail, which went up, up up. It was a tough 4.5 miles, but worth every huff and puff.
Beware the false summit! This photo was not taken at the top, but about halfway up.
So much for a travel report! Tomorrow I'll show some photos of some of the fun things we saw on our wonderful trip.
