Maui was great! It was restful and fun for the kids. We had a lot of fun watching the whales, playing in the ocean and pools and going on our whale watching adventure. We look forward to doing it again soon!

With a few hours of being delayed we had a great time in Kona. It was a very fast trip and a lot of car time (the kids HATED the car after this trip). The main reason for stopping in Kona was to see the Volcanoes. Not as exciting as I thought (I was expecting Dante's Peak) but it was cool to see everything! Still to come...Maui
