“Travel Day” Phoenix, 2024
New Years Saimin
“Saimin” Wailuku, 2024
My mom sent a text to the family telling us to make sure to eat noodles today for Lunar New Year. As this was our last day on Maui and we were running out of time, we decided to get saimin. Well, we thought McDonald’s would have it, but they took saimin off their Hawaii menu back in 2022. So we went back to 7-11, where we were just at to buy musubi to bring home, and picked up a bowl of microwaveable saimin. It was actually pretty good! And now we’re gonna have good luck for the next year. 😀 🐉
ʻĪao Needle
“ʻĪao Needle”Maui, 2024
We stop by ʻĪao Valley every time we come to Maui. It’s such a pretty valley to visit, with lots of good memories for me.
A Brew with a View
“Brew with a View” Pukalani, 2024
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!

Birthday Dinner
“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…

Big Island to Maui

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. 😆
