Now is the time to visit Maui!

By: Rosette Obedoza

We still have that Hawaiian glow after our week long trip to Maui. Aloha does magic to one’s soul. The water, breezy lanai, food, people and the mountains ... just magical.

Here’s our quick round up:
Where to stay? Honua Kai Resort and Spa I Lahaina

Luau
When in Hawaii, don't forget to attend an authentic Hawaiian Luau, we enjoyed our visit to the Old Lahaina Luau, don't forget to ask for the traditional table for the full experience and reserve early!

On this trip, we took an alternative route rather than taking the more popular trails such as Road to Hana. Of course, a foodie - designed trip as well!
