Maui: A Trip To Paradise?

Tweet

There are only 12 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet, but they are used to describe the beauty of Hawaii, especially the tropical paradise island of Maui. Hawaii is located far out in the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles from almost anywhere. I've been there twice. Maui is one of the islands with 120 miles of gorgeous beaches. It's the second largest of the Hawaiian chain and the locals say "Maui no ka oi." "Maui is the best. Do you agree? You can choose to dance beneath the stars or go to the summit of Haleakala, a 10,023 foot dormant volcano. To see the sunrise from here is spectacular, beyond belief. You can take hula lessons. I learned that it is not about the hips but all about the knees. Surfing lessons are available too and horseback riding on the beach. Paradise! Ride the Hana Highway, fifty-two miles of beautiful vistas of tropical flowers and waterfalls. But drive carefully, it can be very dangerous if you are not paying attention. It's been called "the world's most beautiful drive." Hawaii is well worth the long flight. Be prepared for an unimaginable visual paradise. Have you been to Hawaii?
