Photos of the Day: Marking 20 Years Since I Went to Maui!

Molokai beckons in the distance in this photo that I took during my trip to Maui on May 22-29, 2000.

On this day in 2000, my family and I departed from Los Angeles International Airport on a 6-hour flight to Maui...where we stayed for 7 days! It was such an awesome trip—with this beautiful Hawaiian island having so many amazing locales. The Haleakala volcanic summit... The Iao Needle... The Seven Pools in the Hana Rain Forest... And the beach where I had an amazing glimpse of the islands of Lanai and Molokai in the distance. Such a great vacation! We'll overlook the fact that I was preoccupied with how the L.A. Lakers were doing against the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA Western Conference Finals during that time, heheh.

Would I go back to Maui, you ask? You betcha! I wanna take more pics of the locales that I mentioned above—this time with my Nikon D3300 DSLR camera. But first, I want to head to the Big Island of Hawaii to take photos of the Kilauea lava flows and the giant telescopes atop Mauna Kea with said camera. Happy Friday!

Chillin' at a Maui beach resort with the island of Lanai visible in the distance.
