Most of my travels and blogs are anything but vacations. My trip to Hawaii was exactly what I needed- A VACATION!!! Trust me, there is no better place in the world to vacation than Hawaii. As a spoiled child I went to Hawaii every year (hey its my dad's favorite place!) and actually got sick of going to Hawaii. This was my first time there in 8 years. I forgot how much I love Hawaii. It is absolute Paradise. It all started last February when I decided to stay in Japan another year. I knew that I wanted to see my family at some point. When my parents came in April, I said, 'hey, why don't we all meet in Hawaii for Thanksgiving?' My idea was very appealing, and a Lary Family Vacation was born.

I left Osaka Wednesday at 7 pm, and arrived in Hawaii Wednesday at 7 am. Due to crossing the internationa dateline, I had a full day and a half to myself. I flew to Maui and stayed in the main town, Kahalui. My mom booked me a nice HUGE room at the Maui Seaside Resort. It was adequate, and on par with many of the places I had been staying in around Asia. My favorite part was the people staying at the hotel...quite a bunch of charachters thats for sure! Great conversations about Walmart going on down by the pool! The beach was eh, but i did enjoy the mall and the tacos at the food court. I was going to venture to other parts of the island, but the bus took forever to get anywhere, so instead just hung around Kahalui. Sadly, I really realy enjoyed watching TV at night - a guilty pleaseure of mine!

The next day I took the bus all the way over to Kanapali. Two hours later (public transport in America is horrible!!!) I arrived in
resortville. The contrast of where I was the first night to here was amazing. I pulled up to our hotel, the Kanapali Alii. I got the key and walked
into our condo....wow. Traveling cheaply and in third world countries you forget what it's like to be pampered. Yet places ...
