Family Vacation- Maui

November 2009



We were so blessed this year with a family vacation to Maui. Our friends Les and Katie let us stay at their place in North Kihei for 9 beautiful days and nights! We enjoyed some great weather, beaches and met some amazing people along our journey. The kids were in heaven everyday deciding just exactly how to plan their day...... let's see something like this.... Morgan- "wanna go to the beach Dylan?" Dylan- "yeah I do!" Morgan- "should we see if mom and dad want to bring the boogie boards?" Dylan- ABSOLUTELY! and let's not forget the snacks too!!"



We spent 2 days and 1 night in Hana or should I say on the road to and from Hana. We loved all the beautiful flowers and waterfalls that seemed abundant but it never got old!


Rob took a picture with Bruddah Hut after a very satisfying meal on the road side. Having a plate of terriyaki chicken or ribs with macaroni salad and rice is the only way to go!!!

On our trip to Hana we met Hal and Lisa who have lived in Maui the past 18 years. They too were doing some tourist type activities on the island with their friends visiting from Maryland. Their friends came over to islands to see the Maui Invitational Men's Basketball games. Once we made friends with the gang we were off to Red Sand Beach. They were so nice and had us join them for a beach BBQ the following Sunday. We wish our new friends in Maui Hal and Lisa a Happy New Year, and we hope to come visit again soon!


We had alot of time as a Ohana (family) to gather our thoughts and really slow down a bit. We find ourselves so rushed day to day that we forget to sometimes stop and smell the flowers! I'm constantly reminding myself of this and really want to thank my family for making our vacation an incredible experience I will never forget!
