From Kuhului to Hana, Maui the road is about 65 miles in distance. Normally, it would be an hour drive on most roads—not to Hana. The drive will surely take over two hours and even up to four hours depending how many stops you make. There are 59 bridges. And, most of these bridges are one lane. You have to…
Maui is one of the top destinations for anyone wanting to visit Hawaii. Not counting 2020—the year of Covid19—there has been well over two million visitors annually to Maui. Plenty of Canadians and USA citizens like to visit this island. Maui is the second largest island in Hawaii. It is my favorite Hawaiian Island while Kathie’s favor is Oahu. Maui has…
GETTING TO HAWAII Over the years I wrote a summary of what we did and what we liked. Hawaii is our favorite state, and I have been to all 50 states! We have traveled to Hawaii FIVE different times totally for about six months. We have always done the Hawaiian home run, visiting all four major islands. I recommend memorizing…
A Few Tips about this Panda My wife enjoyed the vegetables at this Panda very much. Like it is said, “Happy wife, happy life.” The amount of money we spent for lunch was extremely reasonable. Located on the second floor of the Queen Kaahumanu Center mall, it is easy to find about a mile from the port. There are plenty…
Awesome Tour, Professional Staff Our first tour with Trilogy was back in 1998 to Lanai. We still have fond memories of that tour. Our second time out with Trilogy was as memorable with the “Whale Watching.” Jason was our captain and he did an awesome job taking us to where the whales were. A superb narration about the whales and…
You will not see a sign to his grave site. There is a sign on the main road that reads “PALAPALA HO’OMAU Congregational Church.” Turn left here! Since our last visit in 2012, the road to the cemetery has been re-paved! The ruts and pot-holes are no more. Also, the ranch on the right is for sale. It was a…
We awoke early from our Dale Parson’s B&B. We rode down a ways to take a picture of an overturned truck on the side of the road. I am convinced that the truck is of a local, not from a tourist. We found that locals go way too fast for the conditions. Sometimes they don’t make it, and usually there…
Our last days on Maui we tried to do as much as we could do. We went to Wailea for a second time. Between several resorts is a beautiful coastal trail. These resorts, like Four Seasons, Wailea Grand and The Fairmount go out of their way to make the patron’s experience memorable. They don’t exclude visitors like us either. I…
The Ka’anapali Beach area has been voted #1 beach in the world. It is easy to see why with miles of pristine sand, blue waters, incredible vistas and room for everybody. You are on an island with vistas of two other islands, Lanai and Molokai. It is usually 79F with the trade winds blowing at 15mph. The focal point for many…
Having visited Maui four times before, there was one experience that we keep putting off: an early morning ride to Haleakala to witness the rising sun. The weather was predicted to be pretty good for April 1st. Kathie awoke at 1:30 AM. She is just an early riser. We did go to bed around 8:00 P.M. and there was…
