Ka'anapali Dreamin' - Sharing the Magic of Maui

Where did March go? We can't believe it's been over 3 weeks since we've come back from Maui already. We have tons of updates to make here to the site after another great trip to the Valley Isle. New beaches, sights, restaurants, and more photos than I know what to do with.

All of these updates is going to take some time, but are already underway. This year's Trip Journal is already complete, and for those that have been following our blog during our trip, have already had great things to say about it. But that's really only the beginning, so be sure to stay tuned in the coming weeks for more updates as they're finished.

Regularly Scheduled Programming
Now that the trip journal entries are finished, I'm hoping to get back to the regular postings at our blog that had become very frequent prior to our trip. I still have more than a few Weekly Websites and Travel Traditions to feature each week, as well as the Aloha Friday and Sunday Photos, too. Factor in the occasional news article and event announcement, and there will be a little bit of Aloha in your browser fresh every day.

Recent Updates
Although there haven't been many changes to the site itself to speak of lately, our blog has been seeing daily updates for almost two months now. Here are just a few things that are now being featured there.

The Aloha09 Project
At the beginning of the year, we announced that we were joining the Aloha09 project. You can check out our Aloha sharing posts on this category page from our blog, but keep your eyes peeled next month for a dedicated page here at our site for all of my contributions via Flickr, Twitter, and more.

Travel Traditions
Another fun series we're featuring at the blog is our Travel Traditions series. So far, we're showcasing almost a dozen different activities, habits, and must do's that we plan for every trip, each with it's own special sense of Aloha. Stop by and talk story about your own favorites, too.

Weekly Websites
For the past few weeks now, we've been featuring different Hawaii websites and blogs that we enjoy reading on a regular basis. Check them out at the Weekly Website category page to learn more, and also for details on how you can recommend your favorite sites to us.

Aloha Friday Photos
Helping to spread a little Aloha to get your weekend started, we now feature a new Aloha Friday photo on our blog each week. Each Friday, see a large version of that day's photo from our Maui Photo Day Calendar. Visit our mini-site for the calendar to learn more.

Those that have visited Maui will tell you that it has changed their life forever. Those that call Maui home are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. And for anyone thinking about taking their first Maui vacation ... what are you waiting for?

Ka'anapali Dreamin' is a site devoted to sharing the beauty and magic of Maui. With a combination of daily content, helpful reviews and a large collection of photographs, we hope you find this website as welcoming as a fresh, fragrant flower lei after stepping off the airplane.

"Maui No Ka 'Oi", as people in Maui say, and it means "Maui is the Best." In fact, if each of the Hawaiian Islands had their own official motto, that would be the one Maui would use. There is so much beauty, history, and culture that's part of Maui that it has much to offer and many reasons to return time and time again.

So we welcome you to take a look around our site and hopefully you like what you see. If you're looking for something regarding Maui, we hope we have what you need. If you're a regular Maui visitor or a true fan like ourselves, we hope that this site brings back all your own good memories of being on the white sandy beaches of Hawaii. And if you don't find what you are looking for, tell us.

As mentioned at the blog, my new online photo store Maui Wall Candy is now live. There are still a ton of photos to add, but it's a labour of love.

I've been posting photos all over this site that will soon be available at MWC. Over the coming weeks, you'll start to see links to where you can buy photos featured here on the site and the blogs, and other special deals as I get around to creating them. Be sure to keep an eye out for them and subscribe to my blog feed to get all the updates.
