Here are a few of our plans:
This is where we are staying. Wailea Championship Villa's - on the old golf course. We decided to stay up here at the course instead of down by the beach since we plan to play some golf, but also we thought if we stayed at a slightly smaller and less expensive condo, we'd spend the savings on golf all over the island and drinks and dinners and other stuff. And the beach is just a 10 minute walk down the hill - so that seems reasonable. I grew up going to Wailea in the olden days so I have very fond memories of this place and always want to stay on this end of the island - even though it is so much more built up than it used to be. Fine with me. I like amenities - not complaining.

Here is the beach we will be enjoying. Nice thing about our condo rental - it comes with beach chairs, cooler, all the necessary goodies for hitting the beach.

Turtle Town! Just south of our beaches is Makena and just at the end of the beach down there are some reefs - referred to as Turtle Town. The snorkeling there is supposed to be great, and I have every intention of meeting these guys! Can't wait.

This guy too! I'm meeting him - I already like him, I can tell!

If the weather is good, we will do a snorkeling/snuba trip out to Molokini. Best when the weather and seas are calm, hopefully we'll find a window that works so we can check it out. Looks beautiful and supposedly there are lots of fish out there to see. And more turtles, and hopefully no sharks.

One thing I really love and remember about Maui is how great it smells when you get off the plane. The Plumeria trees smell so good and are so pretty. This one is pink, but there are white ones all over the place too. Love them.

Our first tee time is booked here at Kahili Golf Course. We got an early am tee time to beat the tradewinds. Hopefully we'll have a great day!
This will come immediately after golf! Or during. Or every second throughout the trip. Good mai-tai's are an important part of the Maui experience.

And, don't forget Hello Kitty. My childhood history of Christmas vacations in Hawaii has left me with a life long love of Hello Kitty. Hawaii is full of San Rio stores, and Hello Kitty was probably introduced to Hawaii before the rest of the USA found her. I remember combing those stores for every miniature eraser, wallet, sticker - for Christmas. Hello Kitty - I heart you!
