A hui kaua

There are quite a few Candians who do not like the drop in temperature that comes with the wintery season. And like the Dutchies they opt for a warmer place to stay during the coldest months of the year. But where do they go to and what do they do when they get there? I wanted to know and thus decided to dig into it. 

At the airport I noticed a suspicious number of Canadians boarding Westjet planes.




And as the name suggests, they are flying west to....Hawaii. Yep. The first group of islands you can land on is 'aloha' Hawaii.


Obviously not a bad choice as the president of the United States himself also resides in Hawaii during X-mas. And when itis good enough for Obama, it is good enough for me.

We chose to go with the flow and fly to Maui. An island that is higly recommended when you are into nature, wind-, wave- and kitesurfing and beautiful sunsets. For the connoisseurs
among us, Ho'okipa is famous for those kind of activities, and a lot of people know this by the look of it. 

Having chased the Canadian X-mas exodus to Maui I was very keen on getting to know what they actually do once they have arrived. 

Nothing much really. Lying on the beach, watching the sunset from the beach of Kihei and having dinner in one of the many places along South Kihei road. Of course I had to found out myself and having done so, I can recommend 'Cafe O'lei.



Yep, I know it is spelled incorrectly but they are forgiven because the food and atmosphere are excellent. And what is even better, it is within walking distane from the place Miss P. and I are staying. To contradict Al Gore, 'A convenient truth'. 



And on that bombshell, to mimick Jeremy Clarkson I end with saying 'a hui kaua...
