What an amazing trip we had! The flight there was very long and we arrived at 11:30 pm Hawaii time (or 2:30am Calgary time- very bad for a pregnant person! I was sooooo tired!!). At first we were told that all the rental companies were closed- YIPES!!-, but when we landed we found our car company and get our car! The hotel we were staying at was on the other side of Maui and I had no idea how we were going to get there. Luckily we did not have to find out!
Our hotel room had a beautiful view of the ocean. One thing I learned quickly is that there are really no windows in Hawaii. There are screens with slats of glass (like horizontal venetian blinds), but they do not close and so you can hear all the neighbours. However, on the upside you can also always hear the lovely roar of the waves as they crash against the shore.
Maui is predominantly black lava rock and it was absolutely stunning wherever you looked! Just outside our hotel there was a area of black lava rock and tidal pools. It was amazing to see all the sea urchins in so many different colours- black, white, red...
There was also a lovely white sand beach and the water was so warm! The temperature was always a constant- it did not change much from morning to night. 
Always hovering around 27 degrees celcius. It was wonderful!
