Maui Vacation

Almost two years ago, Dan and I went to Hawaii for a little vacation.  And last week, we were fortunate enough to go back with some friends.

We spent a very quick six days in Maui.  And it was a perfect mix of relaxation and activity.

We upgraded to a room with a view. And it did not disappoint.

Mid week, Dan got a wild hair to go parasailing.  After he went once by himself,  we all decided we needed to be in on the adventure.

Heidi and Marty went first.  Then Dan and I got strapped in. You can see that I was a bit unsure as we took off….

But seconds later, I warmed up a bit to the fun….

We also went on a catamaran/snorkeling day trip to the island of Lanai.

We sailed, snorkeled, swam and played on a nearly secluded beach. Talk about relaxing!

Staying in a hotel meant NO COOKING! So every night we got dressed up and ate out.  Such a treat.

I've heard so many people say "eat at Mama's Fish House!" {If you haven't heard of Mama's, it's expensive, and it's about an hour from Ka'anapali, where we stayed.}  But let me say, it IS worth it. The food was delicious and the ambiance was priceless.  So if you are going to Maui anytime soon, make the trip. You won't regret it.

Traveling with good friends, and without kids, made for the perfect week!
