Flying into Hawaii, you have to declare that you're not bringing in any foreign plants or animals. And you have to quarantine pets or something.

Summary:
This was the sign we saw on arrival. Honestly, "Best Island in the World" is pretty impressive! (the weather was beautiful when we saw this sign, as if to prove the point)

Summary:
Right in the Maui airport was this foreign-looking shop. What kind of delicacies did they serve there, we wondered? Unfortunately, we never got to investigate.

Summary:
The drive from the airport in Kahului to our hotel on Ka'anapali Beach was very pretty with the mountains and the ocean. Unfortunately, it was hard to capture on camera. Here's a mountain, though!

...and this was the view from our balcony (we upgraded to an oceanfront room, which was totally worth it). Very calm and relaxing. I love the color of the water...

There was a nice-looking swimming pool at our hotel, too. Those blue canopies at the top look directly on the ocean.

Summary:
Sadly, I have not mastered the art of taking a picture of us. David might have actually taken this one. (his arms are longer, which is key) The golf court next to our hotel is in the background.

Another self-picture by our hotel. The trees and plants made the place feel very...Hawaiian. The temperate climate and wind helped, too!
