Wailea Work Outs

If any of you are planning on staying in Wailea during your Maui trip, bring your running shoes!  What most people don't know prior to coming is that as Wailea is a natural desert climate, it has very little to no rain.  All those palm trees and green grass are the products of millions of dollars of landscaping and irrigation.  All this lack of rain a generally mild and sunny climate make Wailea a natural tourist mecca, and a great place to plunk a row of resorts.  These resorts being from north to south - Wailea Marriott, Grand Wailea, Four Seasons, Fairmont Kea Lani, and Hotel Wailea and finally, the Makena Beach and Golf Resort (the resort former known as the Maui PRINCE).

So, what does this all mean?  Well, if you like your morning exercise, you can run along Wailea Alanui (street).  There are sidewalks for entire stretch so you don't have to worry about oncoming traffic.  You can even extend your run from Wailea all the way down to Kihei for some real mileage and still be along the shoreline.  Let me show you what I mean about exercising along the street.

Please keep in mind I shot all these from my truck blind with my Nikon D40 out the window!
