Hawaii has been on our bucket list since we got married. After years of "not right now", things seemed to fall into place and we finally decided it was time. We were back in the USA, which made the trip a little shorter. Brenna was old enough to appreciate the trip and remember it, and Jacob had racked up lots of air miles thanks to all his international travel with the new job. So, I jumped into action and started planning. It was fun, since it was something completely new and different that I'd never tackled before. After raking through which island to visit, which region of the island to stay on, and what resorts we liked, we settled on Maui! It turned out to be an adventure of a lifetime!
We started our trip with an easy 3.5 hour mid-morning flight out of Houston to Los Angeles. It was my first time in California and the views of the mountains were really lovely as we made our approach. We had a quick 1.5 hour layover in Los Angeles, which gave us just enough time to grab a bite to eat and restock our snack supply for the next flight. Then it was off to Maui!
