Hawaii with Radiance of the Seas




Lahaina, Maui:
Lahaina, Maui 		our last port on the islands, without a booked tour. Here we took a taxi to Whalers Village and Kaanapali Beaches once again together with our friends, visited the Whalers museum and strolled around. Other friends went for a swim, but they were facing strong winds which was an unpleasant combination with all the powdering sand. We returned back to Lahaina on a taxi ride for 12 $ and made some last stops in Lahaina´s shops to buy some souvenirs (okay, an expensive souvenir for me).
Our impression about Hawaii: because it was our second visit after 1999, and this time only a ramble for one day per island, our memories of the time we traveled each of the four islands for several days came alive. Our opinion about the islands has changed. If people asked in 1999, which island to choose if you could only visit one, our answer would have been Kauai or Maui. Now, our answer would be to definitely pick Oahu. This island has everything for a longer vacation, unbelievable landscapes, coastlines and beaches to dream about, but also cities like Honolulu and Waikiki, so there's something for everyone and every taste. Of course we would recommend to visit all of the islands, each one is different, the landscapes, the climate, the beaches and hotels.
