M: How did your dinner party go this evening?

W: It was a disaster! I totally messed up.I’ve known this couple for most of my life and they have supported my charity since the beginning.That’s why I decided that I should have them come to my house and cook dinner for them.After we had scheduled to get together tonight, they called back and changed our dinner to Thursday night, two nights from now.But I forgot to mark the change on my calendar! So, I cooked and set the table and waited…and waited and waited.Finally, when I was about to call them, I remembered that we had changed the date.Now, I have all this food.I took some over to my parents, and they ate a little, but I will have to throw out the rest.And I’ll have to make it all over again in two days!

M: Wow, that’s really too bad! Hey, what about if I come over and help you eat it? Then, it won’t be wasted!

W: Yeah, no kidding…

The island of Maui in Hawaii is frequently voted its best island.It is a popular destination for honeymooners because it is a wonderful place for romance.In fact, some tourists claim it is the most romantic place in the world.

Maui is only 75 miles away from Honolulu, but it feels like a different world entirely.While Honolulu is a large urban city, Maui is made up of small towns.The pace of life on Maui is slower, and the island attracts couples looking forward to spending quality time together.You can’t help but slow down when you are surrounded by national parks, amazing beaches, breathtaking sunsets, and outdoor adventures.At the beach, the choices are endless: you can swim, sunbathe, go out on a boat, surf, or go diving.One very popular activity is the drive to the top of a 10,000-foot volcano to watch the sunrise.Another great trip involves going along the Road to Hana, a two-lane road in between a tropical jungle and the Pacific Ocean.But most importantly, no trip to Maui would be complete without attending a Hawaiian party with traditional food and live entertainment.

Unlike Honolulu, Maui does not have much nightlife to offer.Travelers looking for nightclubs and bars might be somewhat disappointed.But for couples more interested in gorgeous sunsets and romantic dinners, Maui is the place to be.
