Happy Aloha Friday

[SteveinHNL]

We made it to another Aloha Friday. Tomorrow is King Kamehameha Day. Molokai is celebrating with a Rodeo on the west side. We hope everyone can get out and enjoy the weekend.

This week's picture takes us back to Honolulu and the famous King Kamehameha Statue that stands proudly in front of the Home of the Hawaii Supreme Court.

Enjoy and have a great Aloha Friday everyone.

The Aina has been getting some much needed rain but it still looks to be a great Father Day weekend and we get to start it off with a Happy Aloha Friday.

This week's picture is in Honor of the Hokule'a returning to Oahu from its latest journey to Tahiti. We were in Kauai a few year back and the Hokule'a just happened to be docked at Nawiliwili Harbor. It is awesome to see it and learn about its historic journeys.

Enjoy and have a great Happy Aloha Friday!

Another week and another Aloha Friday. Now that summer is here we can all get out and enjoy. Don't wait too long because summer will be gone before you know it.

This week's picture takes you to the east side of Molokai where you can enjoy some peace and quiet.

Enjoy and have an awesome Aloha Friday.

Happy Aloha Friday everyone!!

I’m late on the Happy Aloha Friday to you! Got to resort around 10pm. Up and out today at 230 am to make sunrise at Haleakala-some clouds but did get to see the amazing colors. Also a rainbow because it was misty! Back to resort after breakfast at Grandmas coffee house for a nap. Waving to you from our lanai!

Just got onto TUG now. I'm waving back. You'll need some rest later.

Even with the clouds Haleakala can be awesome.

It's the fourth of July weekend. Time for a long weekend and celebrate our nation's birthday. Time to break out some brats and head to the grill.

This week's picture comes from Molokai and Paddlers Inn. This sign hangs over the stage and sums up Hawaii and everyone here.

Have a great Happy Aloha Friday everyone!!!

I'm seeing more and more Kona Brewing varieties in stores here. So they're growing, for sure.

Pedro beat me to it today.

It's Aloha Friday and the weekend has arrived. Kaunakakai has brought back It's Saturday Market on the second Saturday of the month so we will check that out tomorrow.

This week's picture is from yesterday on our lanai. There was some nice color in the sky in the evening.

Enjoy and have an awesome Happy Aloha Friday everyone!!

Happy Aloha Friday!

We are scheduled to fly into Kahului tomorrow afternoon for our first ever visit and plan to stay the week in Kihei. So many adventures planned starting with Haleakala summit sunrise reservation for Sunday. Feel very blessed to plan for next Aloha Friday on Maui.
Great thread!

Mahalo and when you arrive tomorrow, E komo mai.

You will have an awesome trip. The ride to Haleakala is winding and long but worth it.

Looks like you will have some nice weather.
Enjoy your trip. Hopefully you will return. I'll be waving from Molokai.

So many warm greetings all around! We arrived Saturday afternoon and the Budget car rental was relatively quick and easy with Fastbreak. Thank you to all TUG members who promote that tip! Checked in to the resort and then a trip to Foodland for initial grocery purchases.

All five of us travelers rose from our slumbers and made our trek from the WorldMark Kihei toward Haleakala early Sunday. The weather was excellent and arrived to the overlook at about 5:20 AM local time. The line at entrance was about 20 minutes and we are fortunate to have left on schedule.
Spectacular, spiritual experience and amazing to join the others already gathered. Not too crowded at all and also explored the summit area. The only wildlife seen were several Chukar birds on the short trail. Spent the rest of the day in Kihei to recover from early day with some beach time and early evening visit to Costco for supplies.
Looking forward to our Beach Buddies adventure on Wednesday sponsored by the Maui Humane Society. https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/beach-buddies/. We knew we would miss our pups and thought this would be lots of fun.
Waving back to you and yours on Molokai!

Hey @slip I visited your old neck of the woods yesterday. Picked up a vintage bumper pool table in "rural" Reedsburg.

Awesome pictures. We love staying in Kihei and own at the Maui Schooner. It's nice to start the trip with a highlight like sunrise at Haleakala.

Looking forward to hearing about the rest of tour trip.

Cool!

You didn't buy it on the Buckhorn Subdivision off Mirror Lake Road did you? That's where we used to live. That would have been a huge coincidence.

Burnawood st, I don't know the subdivision. It was south and east of Reedsburg proper. The smaller of the two tables.

Ok, just off 136 on the way to Rock Springs.
We lives about 4 miles from there.

We own in Kihei and have spent years of wonderful trips there. Still haven't done the sunrise at Haleakala though. Do you have your tickets for this already?

Our first morning is spent on a sunrise whale watch as we have been coming in March.

Very nice! We are enjoying our stay immensely and are fortunate to enjoy an ocean view from the balcony and master bedroom our 2 bedroom unit in building 8.

We have yet to explore the other island beaches and plan to visit the west side for that later in the week. The lava rocks embedded in the shoreline along with such soft sand is incredible. Kihei really feels like a great place to stay. Sure, the WorldMark is not quite a luxury experience, but at 12,000 WM credits for a week, the price is right!


Yes, we made sure to have that ready in advance. The 3-7 AM timed entry calendar opens up 60 days prior (at 7 AM Hawaii local time IIRC) and each reservation is valid for 3 days. https://www.nps.gov/hale/planyourvisit/permitsandreservations.htm
Mahalo!

Kihei does feel like a great spot for families and somewhat centrally located on the island. Very cool that you own down the street and I may take a drive in to check out your resort while heading out that way.

We went to the Maui Ocean Center for Monday late morning/afternoon and spent a full 5 hours there. So much to see and amazing that my two teenagers also had a great time exploring and…..LEARNING! We had lunch at the Seascape restaurant within and the food was also excellent.

Road to Hana is on the agenda for today with a plan to leave the condo at 7 AM. I am hoping that my experience in the Colorado mountains heading to my “local” WorldMark resorts should provide some benefit. Estes Park is a relatively calm drive from the Denver metro. OTOH, Steamboat Springs and Granby involve some mountain passes that can get a bit sketchy in winter.

To Hana we go!

Looks like we may get lucky and Hurricane Darby is weakening and passing to the south so Saturday should be nice so we can enjoy Hiro's 5th Anniversary celebration.


This week's picture takes us back to Kauai down by Shipwreck Beach. In this picture, we caught the net still in the air just as the fisherman cast it out.


I hope everyone can get out and enjoy the weekend. Have a Happy Aloha Friday everyone!
