Maui Sunseekers

More of slaughterhouse beach. It is at the northwest side of Maui. We drove all over that little island many times over.

We carried these water bottles around with us the whole week. It was funny because while Nick was at the airport (he flew out three days before me) he bought the larger water bottle for the plane ride. When I was at the airport for my flight I just happened to urchased myself a bottle of water also (the smaller size). Neither of us had ever drank this brand of water before. Our two water bottles coincidentally met in Maui and had a fantastic time together.

We were the maui sunseekers. At different times of the day in different spots on the island it might be cloudy or rainy. No big deal, we would just hop in the car and drive to another beach where the sun was shining. We chased the sun.

Public Beach Access

Watch for the blue signs on the road. They point to a small portion of parking stalls reserved for public beach access. (I wish I would have gotten a picture of these blue signs.) All beaches in Hawaii are public beach and available to everyone. But you have to get past the ritzy hotels that are reserved to only the cool and rich and those who are staying there :). We thought it was funny because these hotels seem to begrudgingly offer this public beach access because they are required to. You have to walk down these skinny pathways, past the fancy hotels with their fancy guests sitting in their chairs on the grass up above the beach. We loved it. It was fun to see. And once we got past the hotels the beach was practically empty and beautiful. We took great advantage of all the public beach access. (And may-or-may-not have slipped onto the hotel sidewalks and walked around with the rich and fancy pretending we were one of them.)
