Getting Into It
Since words can't do more justice than some solid pictures, I'll try to be brief. First off, VISIT THIS ISLAND. We did our best to stay as far away from "tourist" anything. In fact, we started to doubt the authentic "legitness" of anything we partook in if there were too many white people present. To clarify, I'm not talking about anyone that's white, I'm talking W H I T E PEOPLE.
-Asks couple (us) sitting on local (coffee roastery) cafe patio "hey, do you know where Starbucks is?"
-Eats at (insert corporate-conglomerate-food-chain HERE) while visiting Maui.
-Resort hounds.
-Hawaiin Shirts.
Need I go on?
Most of the places we saw and visited on our trip were sourced to us via word-of-mouth. We live in a city, thus know how it works. You want the best of what the city offers? Go where the locals tell you.
For example, in 9 days we learned:
-There is enough sand for everyone, explore and find your own "secret beach."
-Every hike is worth it.
-Bring your bike.
-Maui Brewing Co. is owning the HI beer scene.
-FRESH COCONUTS
