Andretta,
Been to Oahu, and going to the Big Island, but still haven't hit Maui unfortunately! ;) On the other hand, I live in San Diego! May is still early enough in the year that you can hit some of the places, such as the Wild Animal Park and Sea World, without the crowds being too ridiculous. There's also the Star of India to visit (some nights, they show movies on the sails like a drive-in, which is kinda cool), and Sea Port Village. That is, if you're into those things. For something a little more relaxing, try Balboa Park, which is one of the most beautiful parks I've seen. There's some truly amazing architecture, and the museums are top notch as well. If you go, there's a mildly pricey restaurant called the Prado...the food is quite tasty and if you choose outdoor seating, you're eating in the park and it's a really very relaxing way to have dinner. A little further north there's another wonderful park, Torrey Pines State Reserve. Golfing in that area too. There you have the Scripp's Aquarium, which isn't as big as some others here in CA. There's also the Children's Pool if you want to see some seals. Of course, there's the beaches! Imperial Beach, Mission Beach, Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, Solana Beach, Carlsbad State Beach, etc.
What area will you be staying in? Alot of people stay in Hotel Circle, which is right down the road from me, and has easy access to most anything in San Diego, because all the freeways meet in the area.
A jewel by any other nameoffices. and All, including La Jolla, are San Diego post offices. It has been 38 years since I worked at the main post office here in SD (college...
Maui..any places to see 3173The best luau on Maui is easily the Old Lahaina Luau; we've been there twice and thouroughly enjoyed it both times. Their web site is: A few other suggestions re places to eat...
There's an abundance of dining, so if you can give us an idea of your preferences, it will be alot easier to recommend something to your tastes! I will say though, for breakfast, you can't beat Kono's. It's in Pacific Beach, right in front of the Crystal Pier. It's cheap, but very good, and there's seating right over the water so the view is a delight, especially early in the morning before the crowds come in.
Have a wonderful trip! If you need help finding anything here in San Diego, drop me a line, I'll be glad to help!
