Aloha,
Maui no ka Oi! (Maui is the Best!). Aloha Vacation Rentals is sending this email newsletter to all of its past and potential customers on a monthly basis (or sooner if we see any great airfare deals or we run any vacation rental deals). If you wish to unsubscribe, please do so at the link at the bottom of this email. We will cover getting to Maui and things to do while you are here. First a quote:
“I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully. I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.”
Mark Twain

Island Happenings
Things to do on Maui
There are literally hundreds of activities and culinary adventures awaiting you on Maui. We have an extensive list of ideas on our website here.
This month let’s look at bicycling down Haleakala. This is a great way to see and experience some of Maui's interesting countryside. First you get to see Haleakala National Park and experience the stark beauty of its crater. Then you will bicycle down through several climate zones and see the change in plant life as you do. Finally, the views are just superb. Most days you can see most of the coast of Maui from various vantage points as well as the volcanoes on the Big Island of Hawaii. We suggest you consider one of the downhill biking companies that just drops you off at the top rather than one where they have riders in front and back as the escorted ones go down way too fast, so you miss all the nice scenery. Its all downhill and a great way to see the countryside. Stop on the way down for brunch/lunch at the Kula Lodge (fabulous food). See Makawao and Paia on the same day.
Early Hawaiians applied the name
Haleakalā ("house of the sun") to the general mountain. In Hawaiian folklore, the depression (crater) at the summit of Haleakalā was home to the grandmother of the demigod Māui. According to the legend, Māui's grandmother helped him capture the sun and force it to slow its journey across the sky in order to lengthen the day.

Eateries
Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop
Located where the old Chez Paul French restaurant used to be, this is a great new place to eat. Stop in for the delicious sandwiches for lunch. But the real thing to get here is the pies. Eat them there or take them to go. A bit pricey but the best pies on Maui.
