Aloha,
A day stop in the bay area of California and then a five hour flight over the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii and we are now here. God is good! We’re celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. The temperatures are in their mid to upper 80’s, not a cloud in the sky, and the ocean is beyond beautiful.
Here on the spectacular Island of Maui in the mid-Pacific, we have many outdoor activities planned from hiking, Zip Lining, helicopter touring, and we may even take in a little biking and snorkeling.
The last time we visited we took the dangerous, blinding one-lane and adventurous roads and cliffs to Hana and drove the 64 miles of 600 curves and 54 bridges. I highly recommend it at least once.
We are staying on the north shore in Lahaina on the beautiful Ka’anapali Beach. Understood as one of the most desirable locations in Maui.
