Waimea Canyon State Park...dubbed as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," by Mark Twain.

Even wedding planners need to plan events for their own personal lives. For our wedding anniversary, I chose...uh-hmmm (chuckling)...I mean, "WE" chose...rofl...to go on a Hawaiian cruise. The gorgeous backdrop is Kahului, Maui.

Ok, you've done the touristy thing on Honolulu, Oahu. Now it's time to get away from the hustle & bustle. Where to? Answer: Maui, Hawaii!!! If you're on the NCL Pride of America cruise ship, I highly recommend the "Lahaina on Your Own" excursion. Lahaina is located on the western side of Maui, where some of the best beaches can be found! *ADVICE:* From downtown Lahaina, walk past the King Kamehameha III Elementary School, then make a right, walking 3 mins. towards the ocean.

ADVICE: Don't forget to tell guest services that it's your honeymoon. You just might get a bottle of champagne upon arrival to your room...just saying. :) Not to mention, maybe an upgraded room. Aloooha! Mahalo, #nclprideofamerica !
