We stayed with Gary and Marianne our first night on Maui so we could take advantage of the jet lag and get up Haleakala for the sunrise and some hiking. We were about an hour early (the Kahului airport was surprisingly efficient), but Marianne was accommodating and let us stash our suitcases while we headed to Makawao for coffee and exploring on Marianne's recommendation. Also, Gary and Marianne have renovated the house while they lived there, and it's lovely - the bathroom and shower are wonderful! We crashed early and checked out very, very early in the morning, but, overall, the bed was comfortable and Gary and Marianne were lovely.
