After a Wild Week in Waikiki, Find Serenity on the Western Coast of Maui

Travel Tip: Renting a vehicle on Maui is a must. A JEEP Wrangler took me all over the island and made it easy to off-road, as well as handle the rugged landscape. Plus, it's just miles sexier than a mid-size.

Footprint Check: Amy and Dan are dedicated to preserving the local environment and every effort is made to encourage guests to be green. From the standard reminders to reuse towels and robes, to the organic breakfast and complimentary water bottles that are filled using the water cooler in the foyer. I booked in to in the stunning Honu room and was pleased to find out that, every time this particular room is reserved, a donation is made to Maui's Pacific Whale Foundation. The property is also pesticide-free.

Sara Graham, Fashion Forward
		About the author:
		When Malcolm Gladwell talks about “connectors,” he’s talking about Sara Graham. This gal-about-town made her mark spending five years in (and out) of publishing as Editor-in-Chief of Canada’s top teen magazines Vervegirl and FUEL. During the out part she created, designed and managed all aspects of Sister Underwear – a collection that was not only embraced by the Canadian fashion network of buyers, media and the public, but enjoyed repeat orders from boutiques located in the U.S. Although no longer deep in the publishing or fashion trenches, Sara remains curious and connected via her insatiable appetite for culture and travel. Sara also continues to produce fashion shoots through Project, her brand management company.
