Hawaii Week: Maui with Kids
Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 11 March 2010
There’s no shortage of things to do on Maui and the best part is that some of the most fun and adventurous outings are FREE. From the numerous beaches, to our hiking trails, to free walking tours of our historic towns, you can have fun and not break the bank. We also have TONS of paid activities from parasailing in the summer, to whale watching in the winter. Yes, being bored on Maui is hard to do. The weather on Maui is warm year round. Winter brings more rain showers (and rainbows) along with cooler temps while summer is generally hot and dry.

Climbing the Knob
Blog: Absence Versus Thin Air - 16 January 2010
The farther north we drive along Maui's western coastline, the sparser the hotels and resorts become. Soon they are replaced by dense coastal foliage. Eventually even the highway morphs into a narrow one lane road snaking through the hills and cliffs. We stop to buy banana bread and sliced pineapple from locals along the roadside. Soon after we arrive at the Knob. Part hill, part cliff, it rises almost vertically up from the coastline, projecting out into the ocean where ferocious breakers crash at its base.

The Road to Hana pt. 2: Cliff Jumping
Blog: Absence Versus Thin Air - 12 January 2010
It's not for everyone. Leaping over a precipice, freefalling for several seconds, then crashing deep into the water. If cliff jumping is your thing, however, there's no shortage of places to jump off of in east Maui.Red Sand Cove

Snorkeling with the Honu
Blog: Absence Versus Thin Air - 3 January 2010
Hawaiian green sea turtles, or honu as they are called by the locals, abound in the reefs around Maui. The turtles are massive, up to five feet long, and use Maui's beaches as nesting grounds. Unfortunately, due to habitat destruction, commercial fishing nets, and poaching, honu are also on the endangered species list. Yesterday, Ryan and I geared up for a snorkelling adventure to see if we could encounter a honu up close in the water.

Blog: Absence Versus Thin Air - 29 December 2009
Night is still cold at 6,200 feet, even in Maui. After sleeping on the beach on Christmas, I camped at Polipoli, an area the elevation of Stanley, ID, halfway up Haleakalā.
