Aloha
A couple of winters ago my wife and I took a trip of a lifetime to Hawaii.
Our Vacation started with our flight from Toronto to Honolulu via Chicago on American Airlines. American is my least favorite airline by far, however it is the least expensive way to get to Hawaii from the East Coast. Our planned trip started in Honolulu at the Sheraton Waikiki. The Sheraton is located right on Waikiki beach and has great views of the the ocean and diamond head. We really enjoyed Honolulu we spent our days hanging on the beach, having cocktails at the famous Dukes and taking a couple runs along the board walk. Our next stop on our Aloha vacation was Maui. We had heard that Maui was the best of all the islands so we decided to book 7 nights at the Westin in Maui. Upon arriving on Maui via a 45 min flight we made our way to the car rental depot to pick up our Jeep TJ. After a frustrating 10 min experience with the Jeeps rag top I decided it would be alot easier to forget the jeep and go with a more practical mustang convertible. After an amazing drive across the island we arrived at the Westin Maui. The Westin was great, it had all the amenities one could want beach front location, 4 plus pools and state of the art fitness among a long list of amenities made our stay great.
Our stay was filled with amazing sites and sounds. Below are the top Five things in my mind to experience while on Maui.
1. Have the best Fish Taco in the world at Leilanis beach front bar
2. Go Whale Watching
3. Take a drive on one of the worlds most scenic highways. The Hana Highway - with 54 bridges along 56 miles is sure not to disappoint.
4. Attend a Luau. We went to the Luau at the Hyatt regency which is known on Maui for being the best.
5. Site see in Lahaina. Lahaina is a cool town. You have to grab a burger at Cheeseburger in Paradise or have some shrip at Bubba Gumps. Also the local art studios are quite interesting as well.
Often people ask me what makes Hawaii different than other beach focused vacation spots? My only response is, Hawaii just makes you feel different its unexplainable.
If you ever get the chance to take a trip to Hawaii don't think just pack
