  • Kaanapali Beach Reminiscing

    I’ve collected quotes for as long as I can remember, and this is one of my favourites.  (I came across it again the other day and thought I’d share it with some of my favourite pictures from Kaanapali Beach in March – watching the sunset every night was my favourite part of the trip). “The…

  • wine in the rain

    A little drizzle is no problem when this is the view while enjoying a glass of wine on vacation… The wine is a California Pinot Noir, Meiomi 2012, recommended by the bartender at the Castaway Cafe, the restaurant at Maui Kaanapali Villas. It’s not a fancy place, but the food is very good. Much better…

  • Maui Seaside Hotel

    I enjoy the planning of a trip almost as much as going on the trip itself – researching is fun!  I booked the first night at the Maui Seaside Hotel in Kahului (where Maui’s major airport is located) for a few different reasons. It’s about a 45 minute drive from Kahului to Lahaina and since…

  • “Ocean View”

    “Ocean view” can mean many things when you book accommodations for a trip.  It could mean you if you stand on the very end of your balcony and lean the top half of your body just so over the railing… there it is…an ocean view!  So, I tried not to have too many expectations about…

  • my bliss

    My favourite think about this trip to Maui was sitting on the beach and watching the sun set so I thought I’d try something different and post a video of Monday night’s sunset at Kaanapali Beach.  After uploading all my pictures, I see a lot more sunset posts over the next little while (after all,…

  • Surfing Goats in Upcountry Maui

    The weather in Maui has been unsettled for much of the week, but yesterday was a nice day to be a tourist so we headed to Upcountry Maui to visit Surfing Goat Dairy, Tedeschi Vineyards and Haleakala National Park.  It’s a really beautiful, lush area – we could have also visited a vodka distillery, a…

  • Kaanapali rainbow

    Every morning walk should end with a rainbow….

  • Oh Maui, It’s On!

    This Kaanapali Beach scene (taken a couple of hours before I got on the plane to come home in March 2011) has been the desktop picture on my laptop for quite awhile… …in about six weeks or so, hopefully, I’ll have a a new version!

  • Maui in the evening

    “I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully. I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.” ― Mark…

  • Maui Morning

    It’s still cold here.  I’ve gone out and about taking pictures in the cold a few times, but I’m not really inspired at the moment.  So, I’m back to looking through my photo library and at this time of year, my pics from Maui are the ones that stand out.  These are all from Kaanapali…

  • escape

    I’m trying not to dwell on it, but this is going to be a long winter…and because the plan is to do a big trip later in the year (I have a milestone birthday this year and want to do something memorable), there is probably no winter escape in my future this year.  So, I…

  • Maui – Land of Living Skies Part 2

    This week’s theme seems to be pictures of the sky (other than a brief interlude with a post about dogs and Mr. Dressup), so I thought I’d end the week with photos from Maui in March 2011. “Land of Living Skies” is the slogan on license plates here and people say there is nothing like…
