Aloha from Maui!

I'm blogging in my swimsuit with sunglasses on while I sit on the balcony of our room overlooking the gardens of our hotel and drinking an iced chai latte. Basically, I'm doing the furthest possible thing from my normal blogging scenario. (Read: In sweats on my couch with a cup of tea while I hide from the grey drizzly London sky.) We landed in Maui after our 8.5 hour flight (which was a surprise to me... I had it in my head it would be around 5?), made a brainless decision to grab dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise in Lahaina and cruised on to our hotel room and crashed after the loonnng day. We woke up this morning ready for adventure, jumped in the car and headed north along the west coast of the island. The funnest and most beautiful day unfolded for us in no time. Not to mention we discovered some delicious places to eat, but I'll share those in separate posts later for you! Starting tomorrow, the wedding festivities will be starting for Tyler & Amber's big day. (I'll be instagramming the fun with #mickelsonsgetmauid...) So before the chaos ensues, I just wanted to say "Aloha!" from a land that is truly magical and share a few pictures from our day.

I haven't been to Maui since I was 11. I'd love some recommendations that have made your trips here extra special!
