20 Days - Maui Style!

My family and I were blessed with the opportunity to spend 20 glorious days at Ka’anapali Beach on the island of Maui in Hawaii! Our trip was both an escape from the Arizona summer heat as well as a wonderful study in Hawaii living. The best part of our trip was the fact that we weren’t rushed to get anything done, visit any sites, or partake in any “vacation activities” - we had enough time to actually sit back, relax and enjoy our vacation!

While just being in Hawaii mandates a certain pace (can you say “slow down and relax”), given that it was our daughters first trip to the islands we also wanted her to experience all the great activities the islands have to offer! Of course our daughter immediately fell in love with the beach and I’m happy to say she touched the ocean water every day we were there (not to mention leaving her mark so everyone knew she had arrived)!

Here is just a short list of some of the activities that the family enjoyed on this vacation:

● 4th of July: What better way to watch the fireworks then from a Hawaii beach!

● Ocean Sailing: The single mandatory experience, a day playing with the ocean!

● Maui Ocean Center: A Hawaiian aquarium specializing in island marine life!

● Helicopter Tour: Without doubt, one of the best ways to see the islands!

● Road to Hana: The only way to see the hidden secrets of south Maui!

● Cirque Polynesia: Cirque Du Soleil of the Islands!

● Wailele Polynesian Luau: A traditional and authentic celebration of Polynesian culture!

● Ziplining (no pics): Soar from canyon to canyon all with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop!

● Sunsets: Not so much an activity as an experience truly spectacular courtesy of Hawaii!

Below are some of my favorite media from the trip, I’m sure you will enjoy them as much as I do!
