Hawaii Islands - Maui and the Big Island, Dec 2001
The Hawaii Islands with their incredible natural beauty, the azure blue clear water, the virgin beaches and the "joie-de-vivre" of the local people and culture, serve to rejuvenate the spirit! Our first visit to the picturesque islands of Maui and the Big Island has filled us with an yearning for more, with visits to Kauai, Molokai and Lana on the cards, for the foreseeable future. Please make it a point to check out the Ulalena Ballet on Maui which is a spectacular family experience.
