Maui part 1


This was the view of the ocean that we had at our condo in Maui. It was so secluded and relaxing. We stayed in a little town in South Maui called Kihei. Everything there is so lush and tropical, we started each morning by taking a walk on the beach. 





On our first night in Maui we found a little dive bar within walking distance of our condo called Dina's Sandwitch (yes, sandwitch) Shop, the entire inside was wallpapered with dollar bills. It was full of old locals and was a nice place to get a cheap drink at the end of the day. 



One thing we knew we had to do in Wailea was check out the Four Seasons Resort. The actual hotel was amazing, but their patio going out to the beach was one of the fanciest things I've seen! It was nice to go check out what they had to offer, then go back to our reasonably priced condo. 







This sight is called 'Dragon's Tooth', because of the way the lava formations look. It was the strangest thing finding this place because it was in the middle of a private golf course and the directions given in the book we were using said to 'walk down the path until you run into the short bush, follow that down to the beach and you will see it'......not much of a description. Once we were able to find it, it was breathtaking. 




Jim's favorite part of our vacation was getting to drive a Jeep around the island.


We also saw the Botanical Garden in Kula, which was one of the most beautiful gardens I've seen. We saw a chameleon in a tree, just hanging out! 



This is just the first round of pics I have, there was so much to do on Maui and we literally went all over the island. More to come!
