Ah ha! Though California is the closest US mainland state to Hawaii, it has never been on the top of the list for me! Eventually we started including this in our conversations last November and made this the destination for celebrating our 3rd Anniversary - 1 Island (Maui) for 5 days, 6 nights stay.
Itinerary
Day 0 - SFO - OGG, Lahaina (Dinner at Lahaina Pizza Company, Recommend it)
Day 1 - Haleakala Sunrise, Tropical Plantation tour (For someone who have never visited any tropical regions before), Beach sunset (from the Ocean Front, Ashton Mahana, Kanapali, good stay)
Day 2 - Road to Hana
Day 3 - Molokini snorkel / turtle town, Haleakala Sunset, Lahaina (Dinner at Phi Pizza in the Mall, Yummy-licious)
Day 4 - Napili Beach, snorkel, Lahaina ( Ulani's shave ice cream, Top rated, not a big fan)
Day 5 - Morning beach walk, couples massage, Old Lahaina Luau, Lahaina (Driving through for the last time!)
Day 0 - Morning beackwalk, OCC-SFO
I would add Iao Valley too in case someone is up for another nature activity on Day 4!
Sun, sand, beach, adventure, fun, nature and food were the key elements!
We are definitely sold by what Hawaiian Islands have to offer and can only wish to visit the other islands too!
