Maui is a dream for the active traveler. It’s been consistently chosen as the best island in the world. There are so many things to do that you’ll never be able to do them all in just one visit. Here, however, are some starters with some inspiration from the Maui Visitors Bureau. 1. Attend a Luau Several hotels stage beachside luaus featuring Hawaiian foods such as kalua pig, cooked in an earthen oven, poi and haupia (coconut pudding), along with a buffet of more familiar foods. There is lots of Hawaiian music, hula, and even fire dancing. In Lahaina, on a specially built, open-air luau grounds next to the ocean, the Old Lahaina Luau is one of the finest luaus in the world, offering excellent Hawaiian food and entertainment in an unparalleled setting.
Few places are more friendly to bikers than Maui. It is possible to bicycle from the East End of the island at the Wailea Resort to Kapalua on the West End. Much of the ride is along a spectacular shoreline road. There are guided downhill bicycle tours down part of Haleakala, through the flower farms and small towns of Upcountry to the beach at Paia. In 38 miles, the elevation drops 10,000 feet. Bicycle rentals are available all over the island.
Maui is Hawaiʻi’s dining epicenter, with a restaurant for every taste. Maui has attracted enthusiastic chefs who make national headlines using fresh local produce from Upcountry farmers. From lavish hotel dining rooms to lunch counters serving plate lunches, Maui’s eateries are pleasing and diverse. Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian and Mexican are among the specialty restaurants. The pride of the island, Hawaii Regional Cuisine, is served at many award-winning restaurants.
Maui has some of the finest dive spots in Hawaii, with dozens of reputable operators. There are two marine conservation areas, one at Honolua Bay on West Maui and the other at Molokini, a partially submerged volcanic crater offshore at Wailea. Boats at Lahaina and Maʻalaea offer a number of dive and snorkel excursions. Glass bottom boats and a pleasure submarine open up the wonders to non-swimmers.
One of the world’s most scenic drives is located on Maui – the Hana Highway – with 54 bridges in 56 miles along a winding lava shore, through old plantation towns, past miles of beaches and through towering forests. A drive to the summit of Haleakala is also a must. Haleakala crater appears like the surface of an alien planet and the views of Maui from the summit are amazing. Car rentals are often included in hotel or airline packages
Walk into a rainforest echoing with the songs of birds found nowhere else on the planet. There are trails to waterfalls with plunge pools for swimming, and walks into valleys so deep they never see a sunrise or a sunset. There are trails into the dramatic lunar landscape of Haleakala crater. There are trails and nature walks for every level of skill. A free Maui Recreational Map is available from Maui’s Department of Land and Natural Resources.
While your on Maui visiting, why not have your families portrait taken by Behind The Lens Maui. Nicole has a keen eye to capture you ans your family as you are naturally. Behind The Lens Maui has numerous and affordable packages to meet your needs. There are also vacation documentary packages available as well. If you tired of having to drag you camera around to all the activities, Nicole can tag along and be your personal photographer during your visit on Maui.
Ron and Ericka were married in Kauai last week and come to Maui for their honeymoon. What a beautiful couple!
Congratulations!

The pony tail and bob continue to be hot looks, with new precision cuts coming to the forefront this year as the summer of ’09 heats up …
Veering sharply away from the subtle coloring of the past, this year’s look focuses less on highlights and more on rich, solid colors that compliment your face shape and coloring.
Rich, strong hues in various shades of red – strawberry blond, auburn and rich chocolates – are predicted to be the hot new look this summer.
Styles, lengths and cuts were once again all over the place at the Spring-Summer ’09 fashion events, incuding buns, rolls, bobs and a continuation of last summer’s natural and feminine look. You can’t always predict hot fashions by what the models are wearing, but a few standouts are going to be seen off the runway. In general, styles are becoming more stylised with the messy look giving way to the super neat precision cut.
Bob
Back again this summer, the cut for the bob is strong graphic outlines incorporating. curves and sharp lines. Go for asymmetry – try one side longer or raise the back and lower the front. Mix lengths gradually, add volume with layers or stick to one length cuts. This is a cut that you can tailor to your face and lifestyle — a look for the individual. Soften it with wisps or a bit of back combing.
Suggestion for a bob look while still keeping your lovely length is the timeless roll. Just roll your hair from the bottom with the ends on the inside of the roll. Bring the roll to the nape of your neck (where your back meets your neck) and pin it in place. Very sophisticated and very cool… and still long and glamorous when you pull out the pins.
Fringe
Still very hot for summer ’09, fringe cuts were tops on many of the runway’s top models. Fringe can add elegance or make a bold statement. Look for variations with fringe cuts to bring out your personality and facial structure. Soft and wispy fringes, casual choppy edges and strong bold lines will all be hot. You’ll find fringe cuts that go full length, others flowing mid length or brought forward into the eye. It’s all about having fun, being sexy and being yourself

Layers
The cut that complements all the others in high fashion circles this season is lengths of layers with casual textures. The natural look is easy to create with layers of unstyled, free moving hair. Not a lot of curl but plenty of slightly tousled waves added to the volume and texture make this a fun way to style your hair.
Crop
For summer ’09 the focus continues to be on natural looking movement and volume. Crops are holding their own this season with short unregimented lengths adding textures and bounce to this cut. Forget the solid crop and go for broken edges and textures that use the natural flow of your own hair as the guide.
