Maui 2012: Day One


We woke up bright and early to clouds and intermittent showers in the Kahana area.  Lucky for us, there were several awesome rainbows, but it made sun bathing almost impossible.  Whenever it rains in Kahana your best bet is to drive 5 minutes south and you'll find the sun.


Instead of a day by the pool/beach, we opted to put on our walking shoes and hit the north end of the Kaanapali Beach Walk.  The beachfront "boardwalk" extends from the Honua Kai Konea Resort on the north end and goes all the way down to the Hyatt Regency Maui on the south side. From hotel to hotel, it's about a 2+ mile walk (we went about 1/3 of the way south). 


Aside from people watching, there is a small stretch of gorgeous homes, beautiful views of the ocean and many other ocean front amenities (pools, bars, spas and shopping) to explore.

After our 45 minute walk, we stopped by Duke's Beach House Restaurant where Bartender, Josh hooked us up with some yummy cocktails (second Mai Tai experience of the trip).


We had a quiet evening back at the condo and a sunset down on the beach.

For dinner we grilled an amazing filet mignon and munched on some Maui Kula corn on the cob...opened up an amazing Argentinian Tempranillo to wash it all down.  We love the fact that we can enjoy an amazing meal prepared at our condo while watching the sun set over the Pacific.

Our first full day was awesome.....6 more just like it, please!

Enjoy!
