We went to Maui in December. We wanted an easy holiday with the kids, where we could spend the majority of the day outside.

Activities
We went right after Christmas to enjoy a healthy start to the new year with our family. The kids played in the pools and we went to the beach almost everyday without having to get into a car and drive somewhere.
We did enjoy a couple fun outings. Our favourite beach was Baby Beach in Lahaina. It’s hidden from the main road, but if you have young ones, it’s a must! The beach is long, so there are many private spots to hang out, there is minimal coral, and no waves! We also did a day trip to Paia. The hubby & I loved this. We left in the morning to avoid traffic, stopped for breakfast, played at a couple beaches along the way before we did a little shopping. We had a full day by 2:00 and drove back before the traffic got bad.
Meals
We enjoyed the full size kitchen so we could make many meals in the condo. But there are also many restaurants to try:
Lahaina
Shave Ice
Leoda’s
Honu, Mala, Frida’s (like the vibe at Mala & Frida’s best)
Star Noodle
Hula Grill
Choice Health Bar for their acai bowl
Ono Gelato – Italian Gelato with Island Flair Made on Maui
Kahana
Farmers market
Fish market
Paia
Accomodations
We stayed at Honua Kai Resort in Kaanapali – 2 bedroom condo. We enjoyed the full size kitchen, the washer & dryer, and the large size units. The sound proofing is also great in the rooms.
Travel
We flew Alaska Air.

Packing tips
Pack light! We intentionally tried to only pack what we needed and still brought too many clothes. We also travel with our own car seats instead of renting.
