You Always Need a Place to Get Away

Lots of things went down in December. But a few of them were whimsical hikes far away from everyone else. This post features the beauty of Maui when you want to get away 

We met a cat we named Fred along a trail

Someone else keeps water and food nearby for randoms to fill up for the friendly cat Fred

Kapalua has a butterfly for it's mascot for the region. This trail will help you understand why. We went off the beaten path and found a valley of butterflies, and much more. These butterflies here are mating :)

And we found wild guava growing in the trees

They were ripe and yummmmmy!

That's a butterfly in the upper right corner. Thats why I am so excited in this shot,
 to get a photo with the butterfly in my frame

The trail we were on is an overgrown abandoned gold course. So the hidden path we found was, at parts, a golf ball graveyard. Yes we grabbed a few.

The "duck pond" as everyone knows it by, at the top of this trail

Golfs balls and juggling

Infamous Julia's banana bread stand. Up North past the most dangerous part of the Northern one lane cliffside road. Every local knows of Julia's banana bread. It's to die for. Cash only, when they sell out, you're out of luck.

The North route is very dangerous and scary for the first few times (more dangerous than the Hana road), but so beautiful

How stoked would you be to live in that little beach hut..

It's hard to get a day off together. But a day off in Maui allows for unexpected hidden trail hikes up a mountain side and random road trips along scary roads just for fun. We are hoping for many more of these in January when we make more of an effort during our wedding and Maui anniversary month. Third year wedding anniversary and second year anniversary of living on Maui on January 13. And believe me, our adventure on January 13 will be unforgettable. Stay tuned to find out...
