The Best Places to go

Only 8 days to go!! I purchashed my Maui Revealed book and am reading it everynight before bed.......it is making the time go by faster.

What are the top 3 places we must see?

Where are the top 3 places we must try for dinner or lunch?

There looks like there is so much to choose from so I thought I would get some opinions for you all since you have been there. :)

The Best Places to go

three things will determine where you would want to eat, or drink, budget, taste and the area where you stay so it is convenient. when we go over to maui we consider nice restaurants with view on the ocean, but reasonably priced, and in the evening we like to stay closer to where we stay.

sight seeing: haleakala is cool, in more than one way. take a jacket. the hana trip will take a day, very windy road. good thing is that you can go to the search option on this forum for restaurants and the sight-seeing destinations with are discussed and reviewed many times. if you ask the forum participants specific questions i am sure you will get a number of answers.

The Best Places to go

I wouldn%26#39;t miss Mama%26#39;s Fish House for lunch or dinner - it%26#39;s pricey, but the view is so gorgeous and the food is wonderful. I don%26#39;t really like fish much but I loved my meal there. I can%26#39;t wait to go back.

Best place to go?

Your lanai.

Start each and every day drinking island coffee and discuss your days plans with your partner while enjoyig the tropical breeze and the sounds of the island waking up.

End each day having the drink of your choice while dicsussing with your partner what you did and saw that day while watching the best sunsets you will ever see in your life.

As a side note, take one night and drive somewhere away from the lights, look straight up and see more stars than you ever imagined were up there.

I just love your advice...!!! IMHO that is exactly the best way to spend time in Maui...and luckily my husband agrees!!

Gosh i can%26#39;t wait to go back... :-)

I%26#39;ll only mention one thing, because the rest you%26#39;ll probably stumble upon yourself.

Warren and Annabelle%26#39;s Dinner Show. Just book your tickets, hope it%26#39;s not sold out already for the time you%26#39;re there, and have a great time. I haven%26#39;t heard one person on this board say otherwise.

Ok, while I%26#39;m posting I might as well mention two more things: Drive around north maui - stop at dragon%26#39;s teeth, the blowhole, olivine pools, the banana bread stand, and enjoy the amazing drive. The other is drive to Hana, stop at the stops at a leisurely pace, enjoy the waterfalls and pools, and if you have time do the long hike at Ohea Gulch. We%26#39;re not big nature lovers, but Maui really is all about natural beauty. Food you can get anywhere.

Have an amazing time, enjoy everything with your significant other, and take lots of pictures.

sydneycat, you are lucky.

We won%26#39;t be back till October of 2007 (would have normally gone this October for our 35th but had to change plans) but we are already in the planning stages. The one thing we don%26#39;t have to plan, what to do in the morning and evening, as I have said, that is covered as it is everytime we go.

I am lucky...i get to wake up in Maui on my 50th ! Can%26#39;t think of a better way to celebrate!!

I have to agree with a previous poster, the drive around(all the way) the north west of maui is awesome! The road to hana(all the way round again) is an absolute must too! Just pick your spots you want to stop at before you start and take your time! Blue pools and oheo gulch are both MUSTS!

Food wise Mama%26#39;s fish house is just superb and is another must do, but we found a little gem at the Kaanapali hotel. Called the tiki terrace, the food was every bit as good as mama%26#39;s!! Free hula show and hawaiin music in the backround make this an absolute delight.

Hana

Haleakala

La Perouse Bay/Big Beach- at the very end of the road, park and walk to beach on right. It looks like the South Pacific meets the moon.

(and a 4th place is the blowhole in the west!)

Lunch- Jawz fish tacos by Big Beach (near La Perouse)- to die for!

Honokawai O. Deli- mouth watering, amazing Mahi Mahi with lemon, mushroom, caper sauce- with rice and grilled veggies...big enough for two people and under $10

Dinner- Mama%26#39;s Fish House for ambience

BrightonBill--

Did you make up a boilerplate with that reply? It%26#39;s great advice --which I%26#39;m hoping to take advantage of when I go next month--but it just amuses me that you seem to answer this question exactly the same everytime it%26#39;s asked.*G*
