When I realized I couldn't share my travel article until it was published at the magazine I wrote it for, I decided to share some photographs of my trip to Maui last May.
 |
| I arrived with all the luggage I managed to carry-on with me. I figured a week in paradise shouldn't require a whole lot of stuff. I even overpacked, but still managed not to have to pay the fee for checked baggage. |
 |
| First item, beachside/poolside cocktails and sunset viewing. |
 |
| The stormy sky meant cool days for exploring the island. |
 |
| This is Julius, he cuts the coconut and turns it into a cool drink. He also makes the best banana bread on Maui. |
 |
| I thought Santa Barbara had the biggest banyion tree, but Maui wins. |
 |
| I was glad I packed my pineapple dress. It matched the pineapple ukulele I ended up buying. |
 |
| I made sure to catch the sunset everyday. |
 |
| I was tempted to tiptoe through the sunflowers but didn't feel as comfortable about trespassing or jumping over the ditch as other tourists. |
 |
| the quiet bay at Hono Lua has great snorkeling. |
 |
| Maui has the most delicate sand. |
 |
| If you've heard the song about Lanai, this is what it looks like through a rainbow cloud. |
 |
| sunset in Lanai |
 |
| A cruise is the best way to view the sunset. Aloha. |
Very, very cool
