One visit and Maui became my favorite island...tho' I hear that the Big Island is very popular. Staying in the condo was so perfect for my parents, my children and their children. Family meals were really pleasant in our home away from home. We swam and snorkeled and saw within hands reach sea turtles and incredibly colorful fish. The sunrise at the Haleakala Crater was so awesome...leave extra early and dress warm. Next time, I think I'll try the bike ride down. Maui has a lot to offer people who are physically active...swimming, surfing, windsurfing, boogie boarding, boating, fishing, hiking, zip lines and biking. And, of course, alot of sight seeing. The road to Hana on the wet side of the island is so scenic. Don't play, myself, but there are some nice golf courses, too.
Ka'anapali was actually the royal retreat for the rulers of Maui in the olden days. And, as follows, became the first planned resort area in Hawaii...model resorts that were copied around the world. I hope that I can get my family back there SOON.
