Why are you taking this Trip?
About two years ago, my husband and I were flying back from our month long honeymoon in South East Asia and had a layover for a few hours in Honolulu. As we waited for our connecting flight home, we stepped outside to catch of glimpse of Waikiki and Diamond Head and the beautiful beaches from the airport. It was like a dream, the intoxicating smells, the sparkling blue water and warm air. Right then and there, I made my husband promise to bring me back. Well, once we got home and our life and marriage began, we never seemed to be able to get away. Now, with our first child on the way in January, we decided now was our last chance at getting that dreamy vacation and the last time as just the two of us.
What are you most excited about seeing/doing?
My husband and I love to explore while on vacation. We have a little hobby called Geocaching and it takes us on all kinds of adventures—cliffs of Thailand, bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean on quiet little trails, famous fountains of Europe and many more memorable places. So we are looking forward to Geocaching on Maui and seeing where we can find the local beauty and maybe some hidden places to explore. And of course the beautiful beaches!
Any other interesting facts/ considerations about the trip?
We asked a few friends which island would best suit us and it seemed almost unanimous that we would love Maui. So on the advice of others, we are looking forward to exploring the whole island. We are renting a jeep and plan to wander over all parts of the island and do some great hiking.
