Our trip to Hawaii was fantastic!
We stayed at the same place we were at the last time – Kaanapali Alii – a great little area on the west side of Maui.
The days were spent in and/or near water. We experienced a bit more rain than last time – but rain in Hawaii is not like it is here in Vancouver … plus you can wear shorts. The rain was more up in the mountains and created a lot of amazing rainbows!
While snorkeling, we encountered a lot of fish, coral, a few sea turtles and even a reef shark!
We visited a lot of our favourite places we found last time, and discovered a bunch of new places as well.
Hawaii has definitely been our favourite vacation spot – everyone was already asking when we’re going back … even before we left.
Cody spent his vacation with Ah-Ma and Ah-Kong. He was quite happy to see everyone again and get his own Hawaiian leash/collar to show off to the neighbourhood pooches.
