I've been meaning to add some pictures from our trip to Maui. We started planning this trip almost a year ago to celebrate our 20 year anniversary. When we started talking about destinations, we settled on Hawaii for a couple reasons. 1) We could get a direct flight and the travel would not be exhausting like it was last year. 2) Our primary goal was to enjoy a relaxing trip that would include lots of down time and some activities.
We decided to break our trip up into two parts-Paia and Wailea. Although we've been to Maui many times, we've never been to either location. Friday through Monday we stayed at the Paia Inn in Paia. We discovered this boutique hotel on Trip Advisor and it was one of the highest rated hotels because of the small setting and charming location. Most people have never heard of Paia-it's often referred to as the hippie town and if that doesn't ring a bell, it's a couple miles from the famous Mama's Fish House. It's a very small town fill with small clothing shops, art galleries, organic shops and some really wonderful restaurants. It's the last stop on the road to Hana and if you're headed in that direction it's really worth a stop.
The hotel was very nice. We had a studio and it was very spacious, quiet, and clean. The furniture was nice as well. The hotel is not on the beach, but there's is a long path that takes your right to it. They provide beach chairs and other things you might need. We went for a few walks, but the weather wasn't too cooperative and we had lots of activities planned. They offered a continental breakfast each morning on their patio and a refrigerator full of pineapple. It was definitely an adult destination and we felt it was the right place for our getaway.
