Kaanapali Beach Our two hotels for all 6 days of our trip were in the Kaanapali Beach area. That is on the extreme west side of Maui looking across to Molokai. For the first 3 days we had a beautiful suite at the Westin Ocean Resort Villas, then we moved down the road about a mile to the Westin Maui Hotel.

	These two photos show the view from our room's lanai at The Villas."

	We spotted this large animal at the shoreline. At first we thought it was a turtle. It is a monk seal. They are big, about 5 feet long, between the size of a harbor seal and an elephant seal. The lady with the umbrella was asked to move and the beach guards put up "Do not disturb"| signs (or words to that effect) to give the seal his/her privacy.

	The Sheraton Maui is located at Black Rock, a lava promontory, which is between the two Westin hotels. It's a very scenic spot with a beautiful beach.

	Every evening at sunset, the Sheraton has a cliff dive ceremony.		Sunset behind Black Rock

	Just south of the hotels along Ka'anapali Beach is the main town in West Maui, Lahaina. There is a banyan tree there that takes up an entire city block. It is hard to capture in a photo, but maybe this panorama shot comes close.

	Of course, there are beautiful flowers everywhere.
