Maui Vacation Update

I’ve been a little MIA on the blog because I’ve been enjoying my long vacation on Maui.  Currently still in Maui enjoying the sunshine but thought I would check in to give a quick update before I do a full recap!

Beaches and Snorkeling on Maui

Here is possibly my last Maui post before we go on our vacation in May!  Today I’m covering some of my favorite beaches and snorkeling spots on Maui.  There are so many amazing beaches; these are the ones that we will go to multiple times on vacation.

Favorite Swimsuit Brands

Since spring break, my upcoming trip to Maui, summer and the upcoming return of Victoria’s Secret swim,  I thought I would bring you guys some of my favorite swimsuit brands!

To start off, I want to say that I look for swimsuits that are cute but also functional.  I mean I do like to lay by the pool.  But for the most part, you will find me in the ocean snorkeling, body boarding, wakeboarding, and wake surfing. Not all swimsuits can handle those types of activities so here are the ones that truly pass all of the tests.  I may have a couple, not functional ones that are just too cute not to throw in.

Top Activities on Maui

MAUI!! This is one of my favorite places to vacation too; I’ve been going since I was a little kid.  I’ve been almost 20 times, so I’ve tried a lot of different charters and activities.  When going, we always try to find a new activity to do.  Here are the top four activities that we’ve done several times, and I always tell people they should do.

Don’t worry I’ll be doing separate posts on beaches, snorkeling, and where to eat as we get closer to our next trip to Maui in May.

What to see and do on Kauai

A couple of years ago my husband and I finally made it to the island of Kauai.  We went as an extension to our winter break from work, to find some much-needed sunshine from the gray Seattle weather.

Finding a deal during December on any of the Hawaiian Islands is hard to do, but somehow, I found one!  We booked about 5-6 months out and were able to find a cute VRBO at a resort in Lihue town, Aqua Kauai Beach Resort.  It was such a good deal we couldn’t pass it up. It had amazing views, three pools, and a long uninterrupted beach.  You have to get the adult shaved ice. We didn’t realize this was an actual thing until our last day and were super sad about it, because who doesn’t love Koloa rum and shave ice!

Here are the places I would recommend for some of the best food and drinks on the island.
