Puck,

Have a great time and post a pic! Maui rocks and you will be there in no time.

Congrats on drain grad as well, what's next for her?

Best,

Greg

Safe travels, Puck!

Enjoy every sec of your Maui experience. Road to Hana is amazing, so much so we name our dog after it.

Also try driving up past Kapalua on west Maui's rugged north shore. We think its like a mini road to Hana and not nearly as far. There is a nice market up that way called Napili's I think that you can get really good Boars Head hoagies and tasty baked goods.

Our countdown is 35 days until our glorious 2 weeks in paradise.

Enjoy your travels and be safe.

Travaasa Hana?

Puckman,

Just curious, if you have the opportunity while in Hana, to check this out from the Explorer Collection:

Located in one of Hawaii’s most magnificent and remote locales, Travaasa Hana is more than a hotel. With a luxurious spa, locally inspired cuisine and views of Kaihalulu Bay, it’s no wonder this coveted resort was voted the “No. 1 Resort in Hawaii” and “No. 1 Resort Spa in Hawaii” in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2011 and 2012 Reader’s Choice Awards, respectively.

Travaasa Hana is nestled on the eastern tip of Maui at the end of the famously scenic “Road to Hana”, making it the first resort on the island to welcome the sunrise. Surrounded by grassy hills and lush palms, you’ll be immersed in an authentic Hawaiian experience.

Enjoy your trip! Cheers.

Have a great trip. Hopefully 2606 lives up to it's lore.

 

[taffy19]

Enjoy your stay and the beach! You will not be bored on Maui and Kauai Lagoons sounds even better plus the beautiful scenery too.

 

[StevenTing]

So jealous. My next Hawaii trip won't be until feb 2015 and it will only be at Ko Olina. First world problems.

What...I thought you said you weren't a "view" guy...

A few evenings watching the sun set over Molokai and Lanai make for an unforgettable experience. We're looking forward to it in November, too. Can't wait...

Enjoy!!

That view is what got me hooked on Marriott TSs and Maui. First bought a gold GV and luckily traded in MOC because of 9/11 after waiting for a long time and was given a 6th FL OV. Fell in love with that view and the rest is history.

Possible shlep to volcano on Big Island wednesday, outrigger canoe on Thursday.... agianst better judgement, drains are dragging me to rip off er..Luau on Friday night...

 

[BocaBoy]

agianst better judgement, drains are dragging me to rip off er..Luau on Friday night...

If it is the Old Lahaina Luau, or even the Feast at Lele, it is not at all a rip off. You will be pleasantly surprised. If it is another luau, maybe not so much.

 

[puckmanfl]

good evening...

Nope..it's the one at Hyatt down the walkway..open bar and I don't have to drive. I wanted no part of this, but the drains overruled!!!

will keep you posted on this one...

 

[NightSkyTraveler]

Puck,

I enjoy the fact that your torture us with your good morning in the middle of the evening for us and your good evening in the wee hours of the morning. Enjoy!

Greg S

 

[MikeB2620]

Puck,

Any changes yet to Longboards?

 

[puckmanfl]

good evening (morning for Night sky)

Longboards is now only open 5p-9p wed-sun. It looked pretty empty to my visual fly by.

Today was a pretty awesome day... Private Hana Tour... we swam in caves, checked out the waterfalls the tour buses can't get to. Our guide really liked the drains so we snagged a few extra hours...

Another picture snafu... left the cable to download the pix on computer at home. Therefore, won't be able to publish link until end of trip. Sorry, Emmy but good things are worth waiting for...

 

[puckmanfl]

good morning...

another great day in Paradise. Rain on the north shore cancelled the "Waterfall Hike" so our guide took us on a snorkeling tour along the south shore (Wailea-Makena) area...some south side sightseeing as well.. Snrkeled 3 beaches with good visibility...

camera back on fritz..any suggestions from the Maui experts (Greg?) about finding a camera store..need to pick up a digital point/shoot nothing fancy. I am guessing Walmart/Costco maybe my best bet...

all advice welcome...

tomorrow lazy morning..sales tour then upcountry winery , lavender etc...

Thursday.... trip to big island for volcano tour... (Greg gave the thumbs up) so the bride and I are going..kids can chill at beach in 6206...

to infinity and beyond....

There is a camera store in Lahaina but I don't know if they carry point and shoot cameras. Costco and Walmart are in Kahului so not that close to you. Both have point and shoot cameras.

You need a camera to go to the volcano and to the upcountry too. I hope that your kids took pictures of the Hana tour.

Don't worry about taking a picture of the tower next door but, if you do, may I add it here to compare how much further along the construction is today?

I am also curious about your tour tomorrow and if they have some real news with adding more resorts.

Your week goes way too fast but you still have another week in Kauai and meeting up with Greg.
