In 2007, we made it out to day one of the Taste of Lahaina and enjoyed some great food and music. This past February, we attended the Pacific Whale Foundation's Whale Day celebration in Kihei, and did some shopping at the local merchant booths in the process. Again, more great food, music, and even met up with a few island friends from Twitter. Those types of experiences are truly unique when we talk to our friends and family that have visited the islands and just gone to the vacation hot spots. It has been such a great way for us to interact with the island residents that open up their homes to visitors like us, and we are in turn rewarded with so much more Aloha than you normally get from just tour guides and hotel staff. Two events we're definitely hoping to attend in the near future is the Halloween Parade in Lahaina (should they ever get that started again) and the East Maui Taro Festival in Hana.
