Maui: Vacations

There are tons of places to see on Maui and sure there are alot of “bussed” sightseeing tours.  Don’t bother with them though!  If you really want to see Maui, do it on your own terms.  It’s really not that big of an island and if you just grab a good book on “things to do on Maui,” a full tank of gas and a day per side of the island, you will be good to go.

Here are some places you absolutly need to see though.
Makena – Drive all the way out until the road ends.  It is erie to drive through a lava field (Stop by Big Beach on the way out!!)

Lahaina – Big-ol-tourist trap.  But even us locals get sucked in… But seriously, there is alot to do and see in Lahaina.  Go see it!

Twin Falls – Who wouldn’t want to see some beautiful waterfalls?  They aren’t even that far off the road!

Paia – HippyFest.  Nah, but its a fun town.  There is a ton of good food there!  Oh and make sure you stop by Ho’okipa (check your guide book. )

Anyway, there are tons of other places to go, but those are just a few I recommend.

Apparently they dislike getting owned at Call of Duty 4.

I just liked this picture.  It is taken from the “really really old” Lahaina Pali road. (The super twisty broken one that has the chain fence hanging from it (for those of you that live here.)

This is one hell of a hike, it starts after the “tunnel” and takes you all the way up to the windmills.  Its amazing!

Kihei Regency is a low income apartment complex in the middle of Kihei, Maui, Hawaii. They can’t seem to hold onto a solid staff as they seem to have someone new in the office every few months. The apartments are small but they are very convenient to everything in Kihei.

They do have a nice pool, but the chlorine levels are usually way too high. Maintenance that is done is “just enough.”

Good luck finding parking. There are no guest spots at the Kihei Regency.

Here is a picture taken from Front Street, Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii of the “Maui Marathon 2007.”  I don’t know how these people do it!

Found this eel just off of Polo Beach.  This guy was pretty quick to get away.

Check out the new Maui sunsets album.  If you have any of your own that you would like to submit, email me!

Kihei Villa is right across from Cove Park on South Kihei Road in Maui, Hawaii. The location is amazing and is convenient to everything! This is an old complex though and it shows on the exterior.

Here is a shot of the rooms from South Kihie Road.

I was out diving and I snapped this shot of the West Maui Mountains. The water started getting a little choppy which killed the dives visibility unfortunately. This reef is beat up, its still a great dive but I think I will stick to some of the other shore lines or maybe head further south. Didn’t catch anything worth keeping this time around… maybe next time.

This is a little off track but I was looking up the “Lahaina Pali Trail” (Na Ala Hele) and ran across this blog.  There are some great pictures but the comments are what I was laughing at.  It’s amazing how “knowledgeable” they all are   I got a kick out of it.

Kihei is one of the fastest growing cities in the entire United States.  It is amazing that there is any vacant land at all!

Even land tucked away behind commercial areas have stunning views, amazing locations and may be the reason for their multi million dollar price tags.

This is nothing more than a panoramic view of an empty lot situated just off of South Kihei Road in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii.  I have no idea if it is for sale or anything like that, but I just liked the shot.
