Maui or Bust!

We are back and recovered from our trip to Maui. It was as amazing. It was everything we expected and more. We got to do everything that we wanted including snorkeling, hiking, eating amazing food, and relaxing on the beach. I will post the different adventures and meals by day as there is so much that I want to have to remember the trip by.

Our condo was in Kihei, a low key town on the South side of the island. We were so glad to stay her after visiting Lahaina. It was local, friendly, and had everything that we needed. We stayed at teh Sugar Beach resort at the North end of Kihei. Our condo was right on the beach and felt like our own little house.

Our two favorite chairs!!!

Love this! We can share a suitcase!

Our comfy bed.

It had a full kitchen, bedroom, living room with TV and DVD, and lanai (patio) 15ft from the beach. It had all of the amenities we could ever need including beach towels, a cooler to take on excursions (complete with cold packs in the freezer), all of the  cooking utensils one could need, a washer and dryer, safe and more.

This is a view of Lanai.

We folded out the couch.

Our living room.

I read the book I am Number Four which was a quick and entertaining read. I began to read Bram Stoker's Dracula which was great but thank god my Kindle has a built in dictionary. Jeff read In the Heart of the Sea a great lost at sea story.

On the first night we were tired from travel and decided to go grocery shopping and stock up for the week ahead. Wow, groceries are expensive in Hawaii! We picked up the necessities and a a ton of pineapple. It was our favorite snack we ate it with almost every meal. We made Shrimp Alfredo pasta that night using a jarred Alfredo sauce to make our lives easy. It was delicious. Our favorite cocktail mixer was POG Passion-Orange Guava Juice. Amazing!!!

Our shrimp alfredo pasta!!! Yummo!

I will continue to retell our adventures. It was truly a magical vacation!
