We went to Maui this year instead of Oahu. Mostly because we decided to go with some friends, the Shirzad's, and they had been to this particular resort. They raved about it and I had never been to Maui, so hey why not! Well I have to say that it didn't disappoint!!! We stayed at the Honua Kai, and wow is all I can say! For literally the same price as the hotel we stayed in last year, we got a room with two pull out couches, a master bedroom, a HUGE bathroom, a full kitchen and a washer and dryer! Talk about vacation. (I came home with one small load of laundry after 8 days...that in itself is paradise!) We bbq'd more than we ate out which was awesome because with 4 kids it gets tricky to expect good behavior at a restaurant. Not that we ate so healthy. I am sure Dr. Hilton is going to have a little talk with me on Wednesday but it was well worth it! It was a long flight there last Saturday but the kids were troopers and we immediately hopped in the pool before dinner. It rained a bit which was kind of annoying (I guess Hawaii made the national news from all the rain and storms) but we made the best of it and it forced us to do things we probably wouldn't have done if it was hot all 8 days. Chris boogie boarded and had a blast! (Unfortunately, I don't think that is what Dr. Hilton means when he says "stay active" so I didn't participate.) We went on a glass bottom boat, took a little train ride into Lahaina, went to a Luau and had so much fun! It was just what the Herzog's needed to unwind and relax. The kids seemed to have a lot of fun so that made me really happy! Seriously, cannot say enough good things about this resort especially if you have a family. VERY family friendly and I saw no less than 10 pregnant ladies there so I wasn't the only one letting it all hang out in my bikini! Here are some pictures to get you started!
