Aloha!

Nick and I just had the best trip to Maui for his 30th birthday! I am SO glad we decided to celebrate big this year. He so deserves all the love, and I am beyond thankful for this time away with just him.


I will recap parts of the trip, what I wore, some packing must-haves, and of course the amazing places we went to eat!


Click on any of the photos to shop the items in the photo!

We got so many amazing suggestions from all of you for this trip! Here are some of our favorites so far.


Okay I am obsessed with this hat!


Our Stay

AirBnB at Kihei Ali Kai. The location is perfect and the pool is amazing. It’s a 3 minute walk from our room to the beach!


Must pack items:

flat steamer, Babe chafe and boob powder, dr jart tinted sunscreen, trendy square sunglasses


My go-to travel outfit : Top / Pants / Shoes

Restaurant Favorites
Breakfast:

The Cinnamon Roll Place for something sweet. Kihei Cafe for a yummy brunch or breakfast! I got the Eggs Benedict and Nick got the Benedict Florentine eggs, which were both AMAZING! We also split a Cinnamon roll and in my opinion, it was better than The Cinnamon Roll Place.

Lunch:

The food trucks at South Maui Gardens. We ate here every day for lunch and were never disappointed! It’s absolutely stunning as well- it’s a nursery so there are tons of plants and trees!


I love this two-piece, the color and fit are so good!

Dinner:

Kapa Bar and Grill at the Marriott in Wailea. It’s a pricier dinner- but the views are worth it. We sat on the patio overlooking the bay as the sun set behind Kaho'olawe Island. Wailea is the greenest part of the island and where all the money is 😆 We stopped at the Prada and Rolex store to look around at the shops next door.


The perfect date night dress. I'll take it in every color, please, and thank you!


Shave ice:

Flying Monkey Shave Ice. ALWAYS get a scoop of macadamia but ice cream on the bottom.


Activities
Hike:

We hiked the lava fields in South Maui and it was my favorite hike we’ve ever done. Shady in some spots, long enough but also short enough, and has very little elevation change.


I love these biker shorts! Such a good hiking outfit.

Beach:

Maluaka Beach for snorkeling and relaxing. It’s stunning, quiet, and decently calm. The shower and bathroom facilities were great.

Black Rock Beach was great for snorkeling but the undertow was rough! I was fine but I’d be nervous to bring Lane and Leighton to this beach. This was where we jumped from the black rock! I’m super afraid of deep water and honestly any ocean animal but I climbed up and jumped THREE times. I was super proud of myself. This was a bucket list item for me in Maui.


The best beach outfit in my opinion: Swimsuit / Coverup Top / Shorts / Hat


Additional outfits for your trip inspiration!

I hope this recap was helpful if you are planning a trip anytime soon to Kaui!! Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to help!


Have a wonderful weekend 🫶🏼

-Erica

https://xosoplus.mobi/xsqt-xo-so-quang-tri-cr85.html mình vào xem ké vì cần dò XSQT, thấy cái breadcrumb kiểu “XSMT » XSQT” nằm ngay trên nên đỡ bị lạc trang, nhìn là biết đang ở mục nào luôn. Kéo xuống thì bảng kết quả xếp theo giải từ G8 tới ĐB nên khá dễ lướt, không phải căng mắt tìm từng dòng. Mình cũng để ý bên dưới có phần thống kê lô tô dạng đầu/đuôi, ai quen soi kiểu đó chắc tiện hơn nhiều. Nói chung trang này trình bày gọn, chữ số rõ, và tiêu đề ngày “XSQT ngày 16/07/2026” nổi bật ngay trong phần nội dung nên nhận ra đúng khối thông tin cần xem khá nhanh.

https://keonhacai55.lol/ hôm trước thấy mấy đứa bạn share nên mình bấm vào coi thử cho biết chứ cũng không ngồi đọc kỹ hay làm gì nhiều. Ấn tượng đầu là trang nhìn khá dễ chịu, không bị rối mắt kiểu nhét quá nhiều chữ một chỗ. Mình thích cái cách họ chia nội dung thành từng khối rõ ràng, lướt qua là biết đang ở phần nào, đỡ phải đoán. Với lại cái menu để ngay chỗ dễ thấy nên chuyển qua lại cũng nhanh, không phải kéo lên kéo xuống tìm hoài. Nói chung chỉ xem giao diện thôi mà thấy họ làm khá gọn, nhất là mấy khối nội dung và menu sắp xếp nhìn phát hiểu ngay.

https://keonhacai.cam/ mình vào thử cho biết thôi, kiểu thấy mọi người nhắc nên tò mò xem giao diện ra sao. Vừa mở lên là thấy bố cục khá “dễ thở”, không nhồi nhét quá nhiều thứ một lúc nên mắt đỡ mệt. Mình để ý họ chia nội dung theo từng khối rõ ràng, kéo xuống là nhận ra ngay phần nào nằm ở đâu, không phải đoán. Mấy chỗ dạng bảng nhìn cũng ổn, cột hàng thẳng thớm nên liếc nhanh vẫn theo kịp, không bị rối như vài trang mình từng lướt. Với lại cái menu để khá dễ thấy, bấm qua lại mấy mục không cần tìm lâu. Nói chung nhìn một lúc là quen tay vì…

This post was written very nicely and the wording keeps readers interested from beginning to end. I also found cpsgames while browsing gaming websites and free online games, and there were many entertaining click speed game activities available there.

Also, your outfit ideas throughout the trip are super inspiring. It actually gives me a bit of a cozy-chic vibe, kind of like pairing travel looks with classic Beth Dutton Clothes energy stylish but still effortless and adventure-ready.
