First of All…

Before telling you all about Hawaii and what are my recommendations of places to visit and activities to do in order to “blend in” as locals or be an informant tourist, I want to show you where we stayed in Maui. We didn’t go to the main island: Honolulu, Daniel wanted to get more of the island in a less crowded environment, so we decided to visit Maui (the Valley Isle) the second largest island of Hawaii. We took a plane from Mexico to LA (4 hour journey) and then we took a plane from LA to Kahului Airport, the primary airport in the island (another 5 hour travel); we were 5 hours behind everyone in Mexico, thus jet lag can be overwhelming. The island is beautiful, it really is like it seems in the movies, it has so much to offer, you can see a lot of different things from everywhere, like for instance: pines from the woods, trees from Africa, bonsais from Asia, Palm trees, etc. It really has an influence from everywhere, which makes Hawaii a perfect destination to see everything.
The island of Maui has different resort areas: Kapalua, Kaanapali, Lahaina, Kihei, Makena, and Wailea, all of them worth exploring, each unique in its very own paradise. We stayed at Kapalua in the Ritz Carlton Hotel, as you know, my husband is a golf addict so here is one of the major championship courses called Plantation, being this the reason why we stayed at Kapalua. The hotel is beautiful, it has an amazing beach, which you’ll see photos of soon. The staff is really friendly and the food is great, everything comes from a farm where they harvest their own ingredients. The hotel has 6 different types of restaurants for all kinds of food and formality, including one sushi bar. It also has one coffee bar opening at 5 am when sunrise occurs. It has a fitness center with group classes, which some of them are free so I took the opportunity and had a relaxing yoga class early in the morning. I truly recommend this hotel, it has so much to offer, great amenities and outdoor activities and they go above and beyond to immerse you in a true hawaiian experience.

This is just the beginning of this amazing journey, I will tell you all the details hoping you like them. Keep in touch!!
