Aloha!

MAUI NO KA OI!

You have found my Maui page. E Komo Mai! (Welcome!) First and foremost, a very big ALOHA goes out to my family back on Maui (I miss you folks). I decided to put up a web page about Maui to share it with the rest of the world, so here it is. Maui No Ka Oi!

Well, Maui is the second largest and second youngest island in the Hawaiian Island chain. Also known as the "Valley Isle," Maui has a total area of 728 square miles. This includes 120 miles of coastline, over 33 of which are beautiful beaches. Maui was formed from two volcanoes. Mauna Kahalawai, or Puu Kukui, is now extinct. It is nestled within the West Maui Mountains. The second volcano is called Haleakala, which, in Hawaiian, means "House of the Sun." And that's what this mountain is best known for -- its spectacular sunrises. Haleakala has been dormant for over 200 years, and it peaks at 10,023 feet above sea level, which makes it Maui's highest point. Also, there is the famous drive to Hana, which consists of 52 miles of winding road, starting from Kahului. The average temperature (high & low) at the Kahului Airport during the winter months is 71 degrees, while during the summer, the average is 78 degrees. Over 91,000 residents (125 people per square mile) live in six major areas on the island -- Central Maui (Kahului, Wailuku), Upcountry (Makawao, Pukalani, Kula), North Maui (Sprecklesville, Paia, Haiku), West Maui (Lahaina, Kaanapali, Kapalua), South Maui (Maalaea, Kihei, Wailea, Makena), and East Maui (Keanae, Hana).

Okay, enough of that...we all like to see pictures, so here are some that you can feast your eyes upon. I took all of these pictures with my old camera a long time ago...

Well, I hope all of this gives you a pretty good idea of what Maui is like. Much mahalo for stopping by!
