The Amazing Honeymoon
My husband and I had the most amazing honeymoon! We chose to go to Maui for 10 days and I couldn’t be more thrilled about our decision. First of all, no matter what time of the year it is - you are guaranteed to have good weather. Also, the environment is low key and the beach is literally steps away (we stayed at a condo in Kihei) if you stay at the right place!
Everyday was a new adventure for us. Since we didn’t pack much luggage, my husband and I did a lot of local shopping on our first day there. Where we live there is not much selection when it comes to summer clothes. So we both needed new swimsuits, tanks tops and just cooler clothing to survive the Hawaii heat. After an afternoon of shopping it was time to hit the beach. It was pretty windy the first day we were there, but we discovered a beach that was protected from the wind and stayed there the rest of the day. On Thursday we rented a cabana in Kaanapali. Cabanas are great because they protect you from the sun and heat. On Friday we spent the day relaxing and then that evening we went to a Matt Costa concert at the Hard Rock cafe in Lahaina. The concert was great and since we were newlyweds we ended up winning concert tickets to Ziggy Marley for that Sunday. Saturday we spent the day snorkeling at Makena beach, also known as turtle beach. At turtle beach we saw at least 10 turtles - it was pretty cool! On Sunday we went to Ziggy Marley concert - which was an all day event. Monday morning was one of my favorite days in Maui. I learned how to surf for the first time. Surfing by far is one of the coolest experiences I have ever had. I never knew I would not only be able to get up on a surfboard, but also stay up on a surfboard! On Tuesday I was so sore that I had to take the day off from surfing, but I was able to take pictures of my husband surfing. For our last full day in Maui we decided to go to Lahaina for the day. We did a little more shopping and then we had happy hour at Moose McGillycuddy’s. After that we spent the evening shopping and then we went to a nice dinner.
I did not want to leave my Maui honeymoon! In fact when it was time to leave I had to convince myself that our honeymoon was over and reality was waiting for us back in the states. If you are undecided about where to spend your honeymoon – Maui gets my vote!!!!
