2018 - Maui

Our second trip to Hawaii was focused on Maui.

• Day 1-2; Arriving in Maui and Checking out Resort and Beaches

• Day 3; Waterfalls on The Road to Hana

• Day 4; Hung out at Wailea Beach again, then visited the Lahaina Banyan Tree, and finished the day up watching the sunset from the hotel as well as the water hitting the rocks

• Day 5; Whale Watching off Maui

• Day 6; Lounged around all day at the resort (beach and pools) and finally got a decent sunset

Open

• Day 7; We got about half way up HI-340 to go see Nakalele Blowhole, but the narrow, and extremely winding, road got too extreme for us.  Fortunately on the way back, we spotted these two waterfalls; one big and one little.  This was our last day and we were reminded that Aloha means Hello AND Goodbye...

2013 - O'ahu and Hawai'i

We had a great time on our visit to Oahu and the Big Island during our 2013 Hawaii trip.  We went to celebrate the 20th anniversary of @Lester Martin and @Gretchen and we took the kids along for full family fun.  A day-by-day overview is available in the blog, but this page was created to present these blog entries in the order they were written instead of in most recent to oldest order that is typical with blogs.

Open

• Hawaii - Day 1; Just Getting Here

• Hawaii - Day 2; Honolulu

Our family really enjoyed Hawaii and we hope to get the opportunity to do it again.
