Going to Maui
      #134627 - 06/09/08 09:50 PM

We got hooked into a trip to Maui, HI, June 16--27.

Two couples, booked for a 2--BR condo on Kaanapali Beach. Please, beloved forum, send me advice and tips.

How "eheu!" (pinch that nose!) awful to say, but Husband and I would much rather spend those pennies on the ialand we love. Himself is already whining.

Oh well. Our goal on this HI trip is to make it the Best Trip Ever for our companions.

Advice, please?

Gretchen

What is the cancellation on the condo? It is never too late :-)

My sister used to stay where you are staying 2 weeks every year for 10 years and loved it. The other coast is very mountainous and remote and worth a drive/hike. It is America you know not some 3rd world country. If you like fish you will love the food.

Gretchen,

Sorry if we were a little flippant, but this is the main St. Barth discussion forum and the inhabitants are very prejudiced and relatively ill informed on Maui. Hope your trip goes well.

Gretchen- I think that's a noble goal. It sounds as if the destination was their choice. If your friends do have their "Best Trip Ever", their happiness will rub off on you. I think you'll have a better time than you anticipate. And no doubt, you'll get a lot of karma points for this trip. :-}

Gretchen,

A trip to Maui is a good thing! Hana is a fantastic drive, Haleakala is amazing, and a trip to Molokai will wipe out all thoughts of what you think you are missing on St. Barts. Enjoy!!!!
