I have to admit, I’m not much of a shopper. So on a recent girls trip with 3 of my closest friends from college, I probably did more shopping than all 20+ of my previous trips combined. While I would have rather been relaxing on the beach, I decided to appreciate the time spent “researching”...... Read More

My summer Maui vacation couldn’t have come at a worst time. It was supposed to be a work trip with just my husband at Anthurium House. Our California house had just gone on the market (totally unplanned), and we had 30 days to sell it. Have you ever had to keep your house perfectly clean...... Read More

The grassy lava point with palm trees and the large lava rocks scattered in the sand make for gorgeous and interesting sunset...... Read More

Ulua Beach is my favorite all-around beach in South Maui. Located on the north end of Wailea, it’s easy to get to from Kihei. Just take South Kihei Road into Wailea. Once you are on Wailea Alanui Drive (the main road that the hotels are off of), look for a small sign pointing to Ulua...... Read More

I know I’m on vacation when I am enjoying a cold adult beverage at lunch with a beautiful view on the beach. In Maui, it is illegal to drink alcohol on the beach, so if you aren’t staying at a hotel and want to feel a cold bottle in your hand or drink a fruity...... Read More

Ho’okipa Beach on the north shore of Maui alongside the Hana Highway (a few miles past Paia) is perhaps the most renowned windsurfing site in the world, but it has more! It also provides a great vantage point to watch local surfers and kite surfers enjoying the big waves and the beach is usually covered...... Read More
