We arrived in Maui around noon, picked up our rental car, and checked into our condo rental. We are renting a two-bedroom condo and so far are loving it! It's very spacious and very close to the ocean. Check out the beautiful view from our lanai! We have a great view of the islands of Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Molokini.
In the evening we drove about 45 minutes northwest to Lahaina and had a romantic sunset dinner at Pacific'O, one of the few beachfront restaurants on Maui. The food was incredible and the sunset was breathtaking. Since this was to us the first official day of our honeymoon, we splurged and got the works: wine, appetizers, main course, and dessert. Pacific'O is definitely one of our top recommendations if you plan a trip to Maui. The food was great and you can't beat the view!
It sprinkled a little (more like mist) at the beginning of our dinner, but it didn't last long and we did get a beautiful reward for sitting in the rain. :-)
The view from our table:
Today we drove the 'Road to Hana'. It's a drive that took us about 4 hours down the northeast coast of Maui from where we're staying (Kihei) down to town of Hana (plus three hours back). We know most people probably think we wasted a day in paradise driving, but this was one of the most incredible experiences! The drive includes over 600 curves, 54 bridges, and beauty beyond what you can imagine! We purchased a special CD to play during the drive that suggests places to stop and gives history on what we're seeing. We highly recommend this to anyone making this drive. We packed a cooler with snacks and water, wore our swim suits under our clothes, brought towels and a change of clothes all in preparation for this long, but beautiful drive.
