Sweetpea, I sent you a PM about the hotel in Maui.

Fun things to do:

Haleakala bike company takes you to the top of Haleakala (get up really early) to see the green flash when the sun rises. Then you bike down the volcano. Don't use Maui Downhill, they make you ride single file and stay with the pack. Haleakala Bike company gives you a bike and says "have fun, have the bikes back by 4pm" and you are on your way.

Trilogy Catamaran trips takes you from Lahaina to Lanai, you snorkle or explore the island, have an incredible BBQ picnic before heading back. Awesome!

Drive to Hana, it's amazing and don't be afraid to drive the whole way around instead of turning back. We had a rental car and had no problem. The landscape changes so much, it's fun to stop at the different beaches. One has pebbles that sound like popcorn popping when the waves recede, it's really cool. (Stop in one of the kiosks to pick up the cassette for your car, it's kind of corny but talks about all the mile markers and places to stop).

Go up North to Mama's Fishouse restaurant. Um, the mai tais were $14 each at the bar and this was a few years back so be warned, it's really pricy. But you have to check it out, it's great! And the grounds are beautiful.

The Kula Lodge is great too!

I love Maui, it's really magical.
