Day 1
Arrived late afternoon at The Fairmont Kea Lani on Maui's south shore. Had dinner at AMA Bar and Grill at the hotel. Walked around the resort's beautiful property and slept so comfortably in our wonderful room.
Day 2
Resort day! Started with coffee and breakfast from Makana, enjoyed from our balcony. Then a brisk walk along the oceanfront path that extends for about a mile and connects the neighboring resorts with breathtaking views. Spent rest of the day lounging at the pool in total vacation mode. In the evening we went to a Luau at a neighboring resort and had a wonderful time.
Day 3
Drove to Lahaina for the day. Shopped for souvenirs and took in historical sites. In the evening we went on a Sunset Dinner Cruise out of Lahaina Harbor.
Day 4
Breakfast at the very popular Kehei Caffe. It's always very busy but that's part of the fun. Then spent the day at Polo Beach on resort property. Played in the waves for hours. In the evening we had a special family dinner at Ko.
Day 5
Half-day guided hike on "secret" trails to waterfalls. Interesting to see different vegetation and landscape. Very knowledgeable guide made our trip fun. Spent end of the day relaxing at the pool and had a sunset dinner from our balcony.
Day 6
Our last day we enjoyed everything our resort had to offer one last time before heading to airport for an evening flight.

Skipped the sunset cruise and found another way to get out on the water, like a boat ride to a snorkeling spot
