For an early winter holiday, we returned back to the Sheraton Maui Resort in Kaanapali, Maui, for a seven day stay. Having previously visited this resort on a family holiday, we would be curious to see how the resort fared over the years.

My latest trip though Maui Kahului International Airport had me testing out the brand new Maui Rental Car Centre. The Maui Rental Car Centre was a massive upgrade in experience from the past bus shuttle that used to take us over to the nearby rental car lots.

I was able to enjoy a great relaxing holiday, along with finally getting… Read More

It only takes a moment… Read More
