Maui, Spring 2018 ~ Travel
This was our first trip to Hawaii. We loved the near constant mid 80s temperature, meeting a huge turtle on our beach during the first 15 minutes in the water, snorkeling, zip-lining in East Maui, attending the world-famous Old Lahaina Luau, visiting a lavender farm, traveling the Road to Hana, with a stopover at one of the black sand beaches, and attempting to see the Haleakala crater.

Our not-so-successful trip to view the Haleakala crater did yield a lunch stop at the Kula Lodge, which is an absolute treasure in upcountry Maui. Individual outdoor gazebos are nestled among a lush tropical forest, with smells of wood-burning stove nearby, sounds of gurgling waterfalls and views of Maui farms and shoreline from up above.
