Have you ever thought about taking the most breath taking selfies? Where the weather is perfect for any vacation or even business trip. Where Hello Kitty souvenirs flood the local ABC stores and receipts are longer than any CVS has given. The Island of Maui is the perfect destination!
As a destination capital all year long, Maui has a long list of attractions. You can start the day with surfing lessons to eating musubis in the afternoon. After a tanning session on the beach you can walk and see the beauty of Haleakala and Mauna Kahalawai, the two volcanoes in Maui. To end the night find a local Poke spot to eat fresh poke and reflect on the day.
Just remember Maui was hit with a fire that led to months of devastation. The year was 2023 and a series of events resulted in a blaze of fire that swept more than half the island. Communities suffered but the people of Maui and Hawaii pulled together to rebuild. The beauty of Maui could not be forgotten, as months passed Maui took its shape back.
Now the beauty of Hawaii is sacred, treat it with love and don’t take any seashells home unless you want bad luck. The site of the beaches of Maui are iconic, you don’t have to take my word for it! Grab the sunscreen and hit the beach!
The photo was taken by me during a trip to Hawaii where I captured Maui’s beauty. Please listen to the YouTube song as I thought of it when I was in Hawaii. The link below gives more insight on the fires that took over Maui.
