jcrow Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,489 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/8/2005	we braved the road to hana. what an experience . what they don't tell you, is that once you GET to hana, the only way back to your hotel, is to go BACK the way you came. and hopefully you make it before dark. there's no lights out there. this was one of my favorite sights on the road to hana. painted eucalyptus tree. this is how they occur naturally!

blushingbride Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,440 Last Post: 10/16/2009 Member Since: 11/10/2006	OMG - I love it Jcrow!! I'm looking at your pics and I could've sworn they were ours from our honeymoon last year! We have some of the same ones from the road to Hana (the lava rock on the beach, the eucalyptus tree - that smell amazing BTW, Mama's Fish House and the black sand beach). I'm so happy you guys loved the Four Seasons too!! My co-worker is planning her honeymoon to Hawaii and I'm insisting she stays there! They literally take care of everything for you and I loved the location of the hotel too! BTW - DH and I went to Mama's Fish House a few times too - we STILL rave about that place! Did you guys go to any other islands??

jcrow Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,489 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/8/2005	that's SO funny blushingbride! no, sadly, we didn't get to take in any other islands. we were going to visit oahu, but our plane was majorly delayed, so instead, we sat at the maui airport for 8+ hours.

Any island is gorgeous though! ____________________________________________________________ Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

ChinaCat Ideal Rock Total Posts: 809 Last Post: 11/12/2009 Member Since: 8/17/2007	JCrow- Gorgeous pics! Like Blushing, we spent part of our honeymoon on Maui and your pics look like so many of ours (but you are a much better photographer than me, my dear!) That tree is my DH's absolute favorite too! Can I tell you how many pictures we have of it? Too many. If you ever do go back, we did the road to Hana, but we stayed at the hotel there- the Hotel Hana. Wow, it was soo amazing, we never wanted to leave. Felt like camp, stayed in this amazing "cottage" (but it was really nice) right on the ocean, with horses cruising around in front of it. The restaurant there was amazing too. In case you ever want to go back! They are supposed to have a great spa too, but we ran out of time.

I forget though, what was it that made you decide to go to Maui instead of another island? I've never been to Hawaii, but it's my dream vacation. I have no idea how to make the decision of where to go though.

I've never been to Hawaii, but it's my dream vacation. I have no idea how to make the decision of where to go though. we choose maui because it seemed like a mix of all the islands and what we were looking for. i really wanted to see volcanic rock, lava tubes, black sand beaches, etc. i thought that was only on the big island, but when i found out that could be seen on the road to hana, i was sold. maui is a good balance of rest and relaxation + stuff to do. and that's exactly what we were looking for. a little beach. a little sight seeing. all good.
