Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day, and in Hawaii, that sentiment held true.

Polynesian Football Stars
Our next adventure led us along Oahu’s breathtaking North Shore, where we explored the rich cultural tapestry at the Polynesian Center. Our journey took an unexpected and truly enlightening turn as we stepped into the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame. To be honest, I hadn't fully grasped the incredible number of Polynesian players who have left an indelible mark on the NFL and the profound impact they've had on professional football.
As we immersed ourselves in the exhibits, it became more than just a visit to a hall of fame—it was a deep dive into the heritage of these islands and the remarkable achievements of these players. We spent over an hour, captivated by their stories and the contributions they've made to the sport we love.
Whether you're a die-hard sports enthusiast or not, I highly recommend this experience. It's a testament to the power of sport in connecting cultures and bridging communities. The Polynesian Football Hall of Fame is not just a museum; it's a celebration of legacy and a must-visit for anyone wanting to appreciate the intersection of athleticism and culture.
Brews by Maui
After basking in the beauty of the beach and soaking up the sights of our travels, we found ourselves at the Maui Brewing Company—conveniently nestled in our hotel. It's always a travel tradition for me to explore local breweries, and this one, with its in-house location, made the experience even more enjoyable.
Despite having tried some of Maui Brewing Company's beers back home, the taproom surprised me with a selection not available in stores. The flight I enjoyed was a spectrum of flavors, showcasing the unique craftsmanship of Maui's brewers. Picture this: an OMG Hazy New England IPA, a Peach Cobbler Sour, and a Coconut Hiwa beer.
The OMG Hazy New England IPA was a hoppy delight, bursting with flavor that made my taste buds dance. The Peach Cobbler Sour brought a delightful tang, evoking memories of a warm, comforting dessert. And the Coconut Hiwa beer? It was a tropical paradise in a glass, perfectly balancing the essence of coconut with a rich, malty undertone.
If you find yourself in Maui, this brewery is a must-visit. The flavors are a testament to the craft and creativity of the local brewing scene.
