Aloha from Maui!

I'm blogging in my swimsuit

with sunglasses on

while I sit on the balcony of our room

overlooking the gardens of our hotel

and drinking an iced chai latte.

Basically, I'm doing the furthest possible thing

from my normal blogging scenario.

(Read: In sweats on my couch with a cup of tea

while I hide from the grey drizzly London sky.)

We landed in Maui after our 8.5 hour flight

(which was a surprise to me... I had it in my head it would be around 5?),

made a brainless decision to grab dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise in Lahaina

and cruised on to our hotel room and crashed after the loonnng day.

We woke up this morning ready for adventure,

jumped in the car and headed north along the west coast of the island.

The funnest and most beautiful day

unfolded for us in no time.

Not to mention we discovered some delicious places to eat,

but I'll share those in separate posts later for you!

Starting tomorrow, the wedding festivities will be starting
for Tyler & Amber's big day.

(I'll be instagramming the fun with #mickelsonsgetmauid...)

So before the chaos ensues,

I just wanted to say "Aloha!" from a land that is truly magical

and share a few pictures from our day.

I haven't been to Maui since I was 11. 

I'd love some recommendations that have made 

your trips here extra special!
