Kauai to Maui

After 4 days in Kauai, off to Maui. Kauai was great; Maui was even better. This was my 6th trip to Maui and it gets better every time. Simply cannot get enough. Love it.

The Hyatt was amazing. Great rooms, super view, fun pool super clean.... Everything was amazing.
While Kauai was relaxing, we scheduled some fun events in Maui- luau, sunset boat cruise and massages at the spa.

We also went to one of my favorite spots on the world: Cheeseburger in Paradise on Front Street in Lahaina. Love the burgers, cocktails, live music, good service and on the water view. So beautiful and fun. Blissful evening for me for sure!

Every day was sublime with sleeping in, getting some sort of exercise, playing in the pool or ocean, enjoying some pool-side libations and going somewhere at night for dinner and/or fun. I could do that every day. Perfect vacation on a beautiful island- 2 beautiful islands.

Great weather, lovely beaches, favorite company (thanks Shannon!) and scrumptious food & drinks. Could not ask for a better vacation.

Aloha once again....  So in love with island life.

Aloha!

From Kauai....

First time here. Most people say Kauai is their favorite of the Hawaiian Islands. After 4 days, it comes in 2nd to Maui to me, but still pretty close to perfection nonetheless.

Some of the highlights since Shannon and I arrived Thursday afternoon, staying at the Sheraton at Poipu Beach.
The beach... Gorgeous.
Green & flowers everywhere. So serene.
Chickens. Yes, I said chickens. They roam the streets. And the stores. And the pool area. Crazy.
The Beach House restaurant (seems to be recommend by everyone who has been to Kauai).
The ice cream pie at The Dolphin. Combo of banana, coconut & macadamia nuts on an Oreo crust. Wow.
Waimea Canyon. 30 minute drive for an amazing, colorful view.
The Shrimp Station on the way to Waimea Canyon. Coconut shrimp. Thai shrimp. Channeling Forest Gump!

Sunshine, ocean air, great food, relaxation... Now off to Maui in a few hours.
Mahalo!
