Maui!

We spent a week on the beautiful Hawaiian isle of Maui for our 12th anniversary!  This was our second trip to Maui.  Last time we did lots of touristy sight seeing things.  This time we just wanted to take it easy and relax at the pool and beaches - which is exactly what we did!

We stayed at the Hona Kai resort on Kaanapali beach.  Our room had a lanai with a great view of the resort gardens, pool, and the ocean.   We would wake up each morning, open up the lanai doors and drink our coffee/Diet Pepsi and have breakfast.  It was a great spot for people watching too!

We did take one day and drove the winding Road to Hana.  It was a nice sunny day, so we were able to drive with the top down on our rented convertible Mustang.  We hit a little bit of rain on our way back, but we didn't mind, the traffic thinned out, and It was fun driving in the rain with the top down, and we didn't even get very wet.The black sand beach is one of the most beautiful places on earth, I just love it, so we spent some time there playing in the surf.

There was a day that was gray and drizzly in the morning, so we decided to make this our shopping day, we drove to old town Lahaina and walked through all the shops, getting souvenirs and then stopped for lunch at a little restaurant near the ocean.  Later that evening we got a couples massage at the hotel spa, and then had a romantic candle-lit dinner at a restaurant on the beach.

On our last day in Maui we drove over to Wailea.  We had lunch on the patio at Tommy Bahamas. They have the best piña coladas ever!  Then we went shopping!  I got a pair of earrings from Tiffany's sterling silver collection.  Kevin got a new pair of Ray Ban sunglasses.

I know I'm very blessed to be celebrating 12 years with an amazing guy, and so fortunate to be able to vacation in such a beautiful setting.
