It’s hard not to stop and take a million pictures of the amazing ocean and beaches surrounding islands in Hawaii. With the 10-22mm wide angle lens I rented for the trip, I found myself taking every opportunity to get as much of the beach in my shots as possible.

Cool Cat Cafe is a 50′s style diner hidden away in the Wharf Cinema Center in Lahaina, Maui. If you haven’t been there, it’s quite easy to miss. Next time you’re strolling front st and you happen to get to the banyan tree, look upstairs in the Wharf Cinema Center, you’ll notice it right away. Cool Cat Cafe has won best burger on Maui for the past 5 years in a row. I personally couldn’t agree more, as I ate there for lunch 3 of my 11 days there. Read more →
