Waialua Bakery

Ya ok, I know what you are thinking. "another Hawaii post?". But let's be real here..you aren't even mad. The answer to your other question is.. Yes I am trying to convince all of you to move to Hawaii.
So I figure I can win you all over with food. I know it would work for me.
This bakery is well..scrumptious. The sandwiches are as big as your face {as shown in the picture above}. They are fresh and amazing and well lets just say I will not eat all day so that I can finish the entire thing.

As you can see...the fam agrees! When we go to Maui we even say we would fly over to Oahu just for a sandwich!

Oh and then once you have eaten your weight in delicious goodness...you of course have to "force" down one of their homemade ice cream sandwiches. I mean you really just have no choice in the matter once you get a look at them.

So you are gonna meet me there right? I figured! Oahu -> Haleiwa -> Waialua Bakery -> Heaven on earth.

Bon appetite! 

Haleakala Crater

Haleakala Crater is located on the island of Maui. (Surprised? I didn't think so.)
The sunrise on top of this volcano is a MUST see. Even though you have to wake up and get going at the butt crack of dawn...it's totally worth every chilly, yawning moment. Seriously. Worth. It.

The very highest point of the crater measures in at 10, 023 feet tall. It's so insane to look out and see the clouds beneath you. And then you catch a teeny tiny glimpse of light and all the sudden the sun is coming up. It is amazing.

This sunrise will absolutely and instantly be at the top of the list of any sunrise you have ever seen. 

You'll want to be prepared so you can enjoy every minute of it so here's what you need to take with you:

wear- warm pants, warm shirt and light but warm jacket. It's chilly up there! It's mighty early and the sun is not out AND you are above the clouds. It's cold. Also wear comfy running or hiking shoes so you can be sure to make it up to the very top!

Bring some snacks and water with you so you can stay up there for a while and enjoy it!

&

DO NOT forget your camera! This is an obvious must but could be forgotten in your sleep drunken state of mind at 2:30 am. So maybe pack it up the night before.

So who is up for a trip to Maui just so you can see this sunrise? I thought so. See you there!

Maui Farmers Market

The Maui Farmers Market is a must! We go every Saturday possible. It is located in Kahului and the University of Maui Community College and runs every Saturday from 7am-1pm. Its massive and full of so many great things! Make sure to check it out if you ever find yourself in the neighbourhood, which I really hope you do! Now for a shout out to my favorite must stop shops...

Aunty Lia's Baked Goods is the best for baked deliciousness. From Banana bread to the mango bread you can not go wrong! Worth every penny.

The market is FULL of fresh fruit and veg grown on the locals farms. Stop at any of these kiosks and you won't leave with less than a bag or two full of fresh awesomeness.

 Baked by Amy is no joke. Vegan cupcakes done right I tell ya. Don't let the vegan scare you away! These cupcakes are moist and very unique. Flavors such as lilikoi lavender or lemon ginger show of the talent of this girl. She.Can.Bake. We left with one of every flavour because its just worth it and vegan sooo healthy right?

The fresh jam and sauce kiosk is ummm scrumptious! They even have taste testers which will fill you up once you just can't decide which one to buy so well obviously you must try them all!

Earth Choice Cane sugar lemonade. Need I say more? Ok I will. This guy make it all right in front of you. Squeeze lemon, puree fruit of choice, add fresh cane sugar syrup. Did you know cane sugar is a super food? Does this place get any better? Perfect way to cool off while walking around in the sun.

Last but not least this kiosk was new and the first time out for Maui Bag Ladies. They make jewerly, purses and the most adorable dream catchers! So cute! You can also find them here to check out and order their products online!

Soooo run don't walk to the Maui Farmers Market!...ok so you probably have to fly but really just do it. Good enough excuse to get your butt to Hawaii...am I right? I know I am.
