On Tuesday, June 4th, we headed out of Kansas City on the short flight to Dallas and then the long flight to Kahului, Maui. Chris, experienced traveler that he is, did great during the whole adventure. He watched a movie, took a nap, watched another movie and was very excited when we finally saw land on our approach to the island. Here is Chris getting excited for the plane...
As you can see, Piggy made yet another trip with us--he is a well-traveled pig! Anyway, one of the first highlights was at the rental car place where we were greeted by a decent number of very tame chickens and roosters...
As we later saw in Kauai, there are chickens
everywhere on the island... Anyway, in Maui we stayed at the Westin Hotel at Ka'anapali Beach. It was a beautiful location and we really just relaxed and recovered from traveling, adjusting ourselves to the time change. Here we are out and about at the hotel...
Our first full day, we went a little farther than we intended to find a beach and when we got there, let's just say the waves were a little too strong for us to go into so we played in the sand instead!
We eventually found a much calmer beach, closer to the hotel (because the beach in front of the hotel was a little rough as well) so Chris got to swim there. We saw a sea turtle swim right by us too! Below is a picture of the view from our hotel and in true Hawaii style, we were welcomed by a rainbow when we checked into our room. Beautiful!
Our first few days in Maui were very nice. Tune in for the next entry where I will talk about our first experience at a luau!
