    Great show, but a word of warning: if you have thin fingers, do NOT let them use your wedding ring. Might prove embarrassing. :lol:

    It really does matter....that is, only if you get there by the way of the Shambala road.

    Maui is awesome. Haven't been in a couple years though. You gotta go to Moose McGillicudy's and Bubba Gumps. Also, there's some sweet nude beaches there, if your into that sort of thing. I ate lobster at a restaurant that Don Nelson owns, it was one of the better meals I've ever had.

    I found this. Do you have any knowledge of this resort? I'll be a little more budget-minded for these last three days.

    Thanks

    Don't know that hotel specifically, but as I stated earlier, Napili is great.

    Its been over 15 years since I went to Maui. I just remember trying to get to the hard rock cafe and it was packed!

    I personally prefer the USVI like St Thomas or St. Croix. Went there once and would love to go back to the USVI over Hawaii any day. The coral is healthier, less damaged from snorkle fins, etc. You truly feel like you are in vacation and not a tourist trap like Hawaii has turned out to be.

    So you haven't been to Maui in 15 years, but you know what it is like? I go there every other year and I like the balance of the tourist sites and how easy it still is to get away. That is why I like Napili, you spend the day there, which is not a busy beach, and then either chill in your room or go do the hustle of Kaanapali it is your choice.

    Never did make it to Maui back then. New life now. Anyway, we're going to Maui in May for our 5th Anniversary. Looking at Lahaina or surrounds. Any recommendations on resorts, etc? We definitely want ocean front/view. I'm looking over some of these past recommendations, but there may be some new stuff out there.

    Thanks in advance.

    I’m sure that nice, but I just couldn’t go to a tropical island and stay in basically an apartment complex surrounded by tourists. Just can’t do it.

    Absolutely. Everyone raved about Lahaina so I stayed there and didn't care for it. Way too crowded with touristy things. Kihei had open spots all over the beaches and less touristy food options. It wasn't close for us. If i go back, i will stay in Kihei.
