Aloha

Hope your holiday was as cozy and nice as ours was. I'm sad to say goodbye to Christmas, but very eager to ring in the new year!

As promised, here's a quick glimpse of our Hawaii vacation. It's sorta strange posting something so warm with the frigid temps being felt across the country. Maybe this virtual journey to Maui will warm you up a bit. Come along and enjoy what became our perfect day.

It started early with yoga at sunrise on the beach.


After, there was a little morning snorkeling. Too bad the pics didn't come out too well. That turtle? It was HUGE!! Way bigger than it looks here.


Then, we laid out by the beach in our private cabana.


Our delicious lunch was at Mama's Fish House, Maui's first fresh fish restaurant.


Below was the stunning view from our table.


Ahi Sashimi, Shrimp Won Tons and Lobster Guacamole. Talk about fresh! Daily, they even list who caught the fish and where they caught it.


Desert!! Their famous Polynesian Black Pearl.


After lunch, we experienced sunset ocean side hot stone massages in private authentic Hawaiian hales {huts}. You can see their thatched roofs to the left in the pics below.



Then we enjoyed a yummy sushi diner at Sansei. All the locals kept raving and recommending it, and boy did it not disappoint!

This concludes our perfect day. Thanks for coming along!
