成田から約7時間でホノルル空港に、その後国内線で30分間のフライトでマウイ島のカパルア空港に着きました。このとても小さなローカルな空港から私のハワイ旅行が始まりました。ホテルからは車で10分間というとても便利な空港でした。滞在したカアナパリは、のんびりとリラックスした所で、オアフ島のワイキキと比べると日本人がほとんどいません。公共の交通機関がほとんどないので、レンタカーを借りてさとうきびの会社、イアオ渓谷、地元のショッピングモール、昔ながらの雰囲気を残すラハイナを回りました。今、日本では90分待ちが当たり前のクリスピークリームドーナツを全く並ばずに食べました。おいしい、でも甘かった！！
I took a 7-hour flight from Narita to Honolulu airport and then a transfer to a 30-minute-domestic flight to Kapalua, Maui. My Hawaiian vacation started from this very small and local airport. The airport was very convenient because it was 10 minutes by car from my hotel. The area and atmosphere in Kaanapali where I stayed was very comfortable and laid-back. If I compared this area to Waikiki, Oahu, there were definitely fewer Japanese tourists. There were very few modes of transportation, so I rented a car. I went to a sugarcane company, Iao Valley, a local shopping mall and Lahaina which has retained most of its old Hawaiian atmosphere. I also had a chance to eat Krispy Kreme doughnuts without having to wait in a 90-minute line which is the norm in Japan right now. They were good, but too sweet!!
