Maui Tree Lighting Ceremony

I feel like the free advertiser, but I can’t help it. I love sharing with you as much as I can about what to do on Maui and free is what I look for. This December on the 4-5th we have a tree lighting ceremony at the Banyon Tree in Lahaina. If you have not seen this beautiful tree that brings the Tom Sawyer imagination alive in every age, then you’ve got to take the time to see it, walk under the tree that consumes one city block. The only place I can think of that has such a tree would be the Amazon Jungle! During the tree lighting ceremony there will be food booths, crafts and displays. Come and see this tree light up the night to kick off you Christmas season.

Golf Maui Any time

I personally took golf lessons when I lived in Palm Springs. My instructor, who was as kind and professional as he could be, with all the politeness and grace he could muster through his tears of laughter, told me I should never leave the driving range, and even then come late so no one could see how much grass was flying! I took his advice. So resigning myself to the driving range I’ve found it does wonders to work off pinned up aggression!! Know what I mean? Maui has so many courses to choose from that there is almost always going to be a T-time available somewhere. Personally, I like to drive the cart and whack the ball (polo style) but I guess that’s not looked well upon! Opps! Hehehe.

Triple Crown Surfing MAui

I know some of you enjoy the physical challenge of surfing. I can’t balance on a moving board very long so I spend more time in the water trying to get back on the board knowing that the ones out there with their honed skills are laughing quietly to themselves! But for you with grace and balance here are a few up coming events that might cause you to make your reservations now!
