Maui 2009

Home videos from our recent trip to Maui. If you visit, here are some places to check out from the video:
00:04 and 1:33 - Waikani Falls
Probably the most picturesque waterfalls we found. Barely visible from the Road to Hana (between mile markers 21 and 22), we parked on the side of the road, climbed over a shack, and hiked across a rocky but shallow river to make it here. We had a picnic lunch by the lower falls (where we saw the hidden frog at 0:22).
0:24 through 0:29 - Twin Falls
One of the first stops on the road to Hana (just past mile marker 2), and definitely one of our favorite spots. We got a fresh smoothie from the fruit stand at the side of the road, and then hiked a ways until making it to this secluded area. Rope-swinging through a waterfall was one of my favorite memories - I did it at least half a dozen times.
0:29 through 0:43 - Haleakala Crater
It was a long, curvy drive to get to the rim, but the view at the top was worth it. We didn't hike down or do the sunrise/sunset thing like many do. The colorful valley peeking through the fast-moving clouds seemed like we were on another planet.
0:58 through 1:14 - Maui Magic
The Maui Magic snorkeling trip that takes off from Maalaea Harbor was a great way to snorkel near Molokini, see some turtles, ride down an onboard slide, and get burgers grilled by the captain himself.
1:41 through 1:54 - Old Lahaina Luau
Touristy but fun. Drink a Lava Flow and take advantage of unlimited Ahi Poke.
2:23 - Makena State Park / Big Beach
An enormous stretch of beach with solid waves and a beautiful sunset.
Another highlight that we unfortunately didn't film: Warren and Annabelle's in Lahaina. Skip the Annabelle "ghost playing piano" part (which seems like just an excuse for them to sell more food and drinks) and come for Warren's hilarious magic performance. And if you get asked to sit in the front row...just be prepared to get picked on.
