Road to Hana Itinerary
We traveled on Road to Hana two times in the past. One of those times, long time ago, we bought a self-guided tape and followed all the directions and made all the stops recommended on it. Another time, we stopped less and drove faster so that to spend more time in ‘Ohe’o Pools. As this was our third time, we knew what exactly we wanted to revisit, plus we leafed through one of Maui Guidebooks we found in our vacation condo to…

Ekolu – Greatest Hits
If any group can be exclusively dubbed Maui’s pride and joy, it’s Ekolu. No other reggae band is synonymous with the local music scene. They practically put Maui on the map, paving the way for bands like Malino to rise in due time. Their roots are in the Valley Isle, but Ekolu’s influence extends across Hawaii. At any given moment, their songs are jamming on the radio or awaiting airplay by way of request. If music is something you feel, then Hawaii has…
Whale Watching in Hawaii
You might think of whale watching in Hawaii as a rather peaceful activity. To see a whale surge out of the sea and fall back down in a massive splash is a beautiful sight. Some things are beautiful from a distance. To see a whale up close is rather scary. Let me tell you a real whale’s tale. A Maui Whale Watching Tale We were on a whale-watching boat off Lahaina, Maui one morning, all the camera toting tourists were…
The Cheapest Maui Car Rental for a Larger Car
Price is obviously important for most people, myself included. But today I am not looking for just the cheapest Maui car rental, but for the best deal on a larger rental car. I have just booked my flight to Maui for May 2 – 14, 2018. This time, I will travel alone and stay in our two Kamaole Sands Resort vacation rental condos. It’s a business trip – I need to paint and deep clean both of them and to do…
A Day in the Life of a Maui Tourist
Touching down onto the OGG tarmac is a thing of blood pressure reducing blissfulness. Only this airport can take me away to pure bliss. Traffic? No problem. Luggage to drag around? Not a problem. Trying to get used to the humidity? Oh, I love it. As you can see, I love Maui! Maui No Ka Oi! I go get my rental, and then head straight to my condo at the Kamaole Sands Resort – a condo resort of over 400…
