Maui Vacation

[Loren]

Hey, all. Completely non-Yaris related, but I thought some of you locals could offer some great input.

My wife and I are in the early stages of planning a 1-week trip to Maui for about September of 2010. Maui because we've heard that it's fantastically beautiful and less touristy than the big island. The only thing we want to do on the big island is check out an active volcano. (which is one of the primary reasons for this trip... wife wants to see hot lava)

So, we're primarily looking at hiking/driving trips to see the sights, and possibly a helicopter tour over the volcano. Neither of us surf or anything like that... besides, we could do that stuff here in FL. We want to see what's unique to the islands.

One of the primary things I'd like to get from you guys is some insight on where to eat. We LOVE to eat, but don't want to spend a fortune on food (at least not EVERY day of the trip). I know there have to be some dives where the locals go for good cheap food. Hook us up!

Thoughts on reasonably inexpensive places to stay would be welcome, too. Along with anything else you'd care to share.

Thanks in advance!
