Haha, oh how shit changes. Started pricing shit out, and the realization that traveling as a group of 5 is expensive as shit. Mainly the flights. On top of it all, we are trying to buy a house, which literally just happened today. (Under contract as of today). Guess things work out for a reason.Some friends want to plan a 3 family trip to Maui this year in May time frame. I keep telling them that Kauai is gonna be a better trip, but I'm sure that I can figure out how to have a good time on Maui. Should be interesting to try and plan, as I'm the married dude with 3 younger kids. By the time the trip happens it'll be 5, 3, and 1. The other 2 groups have no kids at all, and drink heavily where as I don't drink. Lol. I told them we'd have opposite schedules where my family would be up in the morning doing shit, and in bed pretty early while they'd be out all night, and sleep in all day.
Gotta nail down dates, and flights. I do know that we are heavily looking at Air BNB, instead of a resort. Looks to be just so much cheaper, and can get some incredible places.
Damn north shore got hammered. Looks like Maui it is if the time off is approved.From what I've heard, everything past Hanalei is closed due to the flooding. So if that's why you're going, Maui might be it.
Going to Hawaii for an emergency medicine conference -- never been to Hawaii -- going to Oahu. Anything in the area/island that I should do?
So molokini is no better than any of the other snorkeling spots on Maui? Are any of the snorkel tours worth it? One i went on in Kauai was worth every penny, but that was also traveling up and down na pali.Love Kihei, love Maui. Road to Hana is great, Big/Little Beach is near you as well. Molokini is really great when there are large pelagics around, otherwise it's a skip (if you're into snorkeling).
Yeah i picked it over napili bay area since the room i booked was cheaper, just as well furnished and came with ac. That was the one thing that annoyed me on kauai, no ac so had to leave the windows open which brought in a ton of noise.I think you picked the best spot in Maui, and it's where I usually end up back to when I go someplace else in Hawaii (a few years back, went and stayed at the Ritz in Kapalua and had a great time but ended up preferring Kihei/Wailea/Makena area).
Love hiking so will definitely be doing that. Any other good trails aside from that? Not just nature walks.Waihee Ridge Trail. Just amazing views on the hike. When you are leaving stop at zippys on he way to the airport and get a zip pack for the plane ride.
