Great photos. Like JulieR, I'm planning my 7th trip to Maui next February 16th and am constanting going through Fodors to get the latest on the islands. Your photos brought a welcome relieve to this darned cold. Although the East Bunny did make it to my house for the grandkids.

I am here in Chicago too and it is still cold on Monday!!! Thanks for bringing me back to our honeymoon in September, 2005. Your pictures are gorgeous and brightend up the day!

ms_go - thanks for the great slide show and trip report. I've got two months and 19 days before I hit paradise again - not Maui, but Oahu, but it's all good - paradise is paradise, whatever island you may be on! Your pictures just make me want to put those black "x's" on the calendar even faster! Oh, for the Hawaiian sunsets and warm sand to wriggle my toes in - it can't get here soon enough for me! Thanks again for sharing.

Many mahalos ms_go... your reporting is refreshing... feel like I was there. Mahalo for spreading the aloha!

incredible pix and nice report, thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you SO MUCH for a great trip report and fabulous photos. Wish I was there NOW!

Thanks, all, for the kind comments. For all of those planning trips now--enjoy!

Bill, after a half dozen visits, I've decided that Makena and Napili are my favorite places to stay.
