A Perfect Day

Life is simple in Maui... it is all about living life to the fullest.

8:00 am: Wake up to the chirping of the local Koa'e Kea (or occasional rooster) and brew your first cup of Kona coffee.

9:30 am: Feast on an assortment of fresh mangoes that have been grown on the island and actually taste as mangoes are supposed to taste (yes, we keep the best ones on the islands for our own consumption).

10:45 am: Take your first stroll along the Wailea beachwalk, passing multiple small beaches that you have only seen in a travel brochure before.

11:00 am: Master the challenge of standing on a paddleboard on your first journey into the warm waters of the Pacific. After struggling with your balance, breathe and relax to see the green turtles swarming around your board.

12:17 am: Exchange stories of your trip on impossibly white sand.

1:30 pm: Re-energize over a cool lemonade at the beachside bar of the Four Seasons and keep your eyes open for the occasional celebrity sharing a drink at the bar.

2:50 pm: Open your favourite novel on a lawnchair and finally realize that you are 6000 miles from the office.

4:40 pm: Change into your favourite linen shirt and shorts to get ready for dinner.

5:30 pm : Savour your first bite of fresh Mahi Mahi and wonder why you do not have fish like this at home.

6:45 pm:  Wrap your arms around a loved one and experience the incredible colours of a Hawaiian sunset.

8:00 pm: Count the stars from your porch and feel part of the universe.
