We fly to OGG from BOS on AA. It's quite a flight. Our upcoming flight next month leaves BOS at 5:45 AM. Yikes! We upgraded to first using points.
We stay in all three area's. This time though we are flying into HNL and staying at the Halekulani, then we are taking an inter-island over to Maui. First we are staying in Kapalua (taking a chance on weather) because it is just sooo beautiful and peaceful. We are then going down to Wailea at the Kea Lani. Each area has it's own charms. Kaanapali is busy and feels a bit too rat racey for us, although we used to stay there quite a bit. Wailea has a sophisticated feel to it and it's always sunny. It has great dining and shopping. ($$$$) Kapalua is the place that makes feel the most like I am in Hawaii. It's peaceful and serene. I always feel very relaxed up there. When the weather isn't cooperating it can be very boring. This year the weather patterns are much better than last year so we are taking the chance in going to the Ritz.
