For the first time EVER, I OVER PACKED! That’s right, you read right…I over packed! I bought all these cutesy Hawaii type outfits to end up wearing nothing, but my Reebox Fit Sneakers (which I love and adore), tank tops, and shorts.  With the exception of the luau, I lived in tank tops, shorts, and bathing suits.  Honest to goodness there is no need for anything else…there is no real night life in Maui and I am not even saying that figuratively.  Everything pretty much shuts down at 10pm.  Since I also shopped there I ended up having to buy a carry on, which truly bummed me out since I was so proud of myself for only having a backpack and nothing else.  Had I known how to pack ahead of time, I would never have had this problem, been able to pack everything and the gifts in my suitcase and wouldn’t have spent a good portion of the last day hunting down a suitable carry-on with wheels and a handle.  So just remember, Maui is incredibly laid back, pack with that in mind and remember there are plenty if reasonably priced gift shops, so you can buy something if you become desperate. There is a Kmart and a Walmart, but it gets a little hectic and discombobulated and can take away from the experience, I found the Walgreens and the ABC Stores located on the island much more agreeable and enjoyable.
