As craft beer lovers, Mahalo Aleworks is a Maui must-visit. Their beers are fantastic, and enjoying one on their small upstairs balcony is the perfect way to end the day. Just look at the view!

“Sunset” Wailea, 2024

We celebrated Mariko’s birthday today by enjoying a wonderful dinner with a view. It was beautiful! And there were so many whales off-shore so we had dinner and a show. 😀 The sunset didn’t disappoint either. Ah paradise…

“Maui” 2024

Today we switched islands to Maui, where we’ll stay til the weekend. It’s a work-cation for me, and I’ll be waking up early to be on the same schedule as back in Texas. More or less. 😆

“Kanaha Beach” Kahului, 2023

Today was our last day on Maui, but since we were taking the red-eye flight in the late afternoon, we had some time to do a few last-minute things. That included lunch at the Ono Teppanyaki and Seafood truck, followed by a quick visit to Kanaha Beach. The shrimp and ahi were delicious, and the beach was lovely. I wish we had enough time to go for a swim, but we’ll have to do that next time.

Thank you Maui. Mahalo and aloha!

“Shave Ice” Kahului, 2023

This afternoon we stopped by Ululani’s in Kahului for some shave ice. I got the Local Motion, which had mango, pineapple, and li hing mui syrup. And then I got haupia ice cream underneath. It was so good! Definitely recommend, although maybe next time I’ll get a keiki (kid) size. :)
