“Magnificent Maui”

By TylerMason

Maui is by far the most magnificent place in the country.  Maui has might cliffs a long the massive ocean.  The colorful koi fish swam under the dazzling blue sky.  The water is crystal clear, but the nights are as black as coal.  Maui had first-class food.

In Maui you and your family can go to the 150 year old banyan tree and listen to the 1,000s ‘ of birds squawking.  Another fun activity would be to ride the open train and to see beautiful scenery.  If you go to Maui in November you may be able to see surfing Sant on the beach.

In Maui I would take walks on the beach every morning.  Each afternoon I would go hunting for washed up coral and seashells.  My family had fun in the ocean.  One night we went to a luau.  There we saw impressive male fire dancers and girls in grass skirts shimmying their hips side to side.

Each night in Maui I was snug as a bug in my Murphy bed.  The sound of water crashing on the rocks helped me sleep.  Maui was a great place to visit.
