Well, COVID is not over yet, and unfortunately, there are still many uncertainties as to what exactly is required to travel to other countries. Maui is the perfect choice for people from the mainland, who want to stay in the US and want to enjoy very comfortable temperatures.
I remember quite vividly last time we came here and for the exact reason, we chose to rent the same condo again. The snorkeling is a stone throw away and this time we were lucky and we saw quite a few eels, such as the Magnificent Snake Eel, besides some other permanent and more obvious inhabitants such as turtles. For the first two days, the visibility was absolutely great, but declined after that to a point where we wouldn't be able to see a turtle right in front of us.
Waking up in the morning is one of the great pleasures of this wonderful world, first because of the view from our lanai.
Second, a cup of Nespresso Palermo Kazaar that is smooth yet strong. We are so dedicated (espresso crazy) that we brought our own Nespresso machine. It filled half of the suite case, but it was worth it. The other half was occupied by fins, mask and wet suits.
Third, it's the sound of the constant surf that is almost hypnotizing. Due to the impending full moon, the beach was almost fully consumed by the high tide.
We took a coconut tour and I never knew what one can learn. It was more than educational and that is why I would highly recommend it.
Going up to Haleakala was one of our goals. This time, we got up a little earlier so that we had enough time to hike almost all the way down (and back up again) and we didn't have a dinner reservation, so we had no stress, just hiking. The day's forecast contained some rain, but up on the top it was beautiful. We made it all the way on the right side where the path disappears.
The fauna is unique and obviously protected. One of the distinctive plants are the Haleakala Silverswords and below species are not blooming yet, but they still make quite an impression.
The toy chest in front of our door contained two boogie boards and we took advantage of the good surf conditions due to the full moon and went body boarding for the first time. It was a lot of fun and it won't be the last time.
You may have been wondering why this vacation has wave in the title. Well, here is the beautiful sculpture we found at Makai Glass Maui. They have a great showroom with so many magnificent pieces of glass art.
