During our stay in Maui we stayed in the west coast of the island, in Kaanapali. It was the perfect area for us as it allowed us to get adjusted and easily get beach access. While there are no bad places to stay in Maui, Kaanapali is my favorite area for its nice beaches, close to Lahaina town (restaurants and shops), and most importantly for the drier climate and more sunshine than other parts of Maui.

This time as a family of 4 with 2 young kids (ages 3 and 6) we hand picked a few things that we knew we would all enjoy. Here I share some tips to make the most of your time as a family.

Jeju island is located in the southern part of South Korea and has a warm and more pleasant type of weather than the rest of the country. There are still four distinct seasons all year around making it an interesting place to explore and do various activities during different times of the year.

The best time to visit Jeju island is in autumn - Autumn on Jeju island starts from September to November and has a cool atmosphere with average temperatures between 20-25 degrees celsius. It is still warm during the day with sunny skies but the air is dry with more breeze.

Our last trip to Jeju was during the late summer time to the beginning of Autumn. With cooler temperatures during the autumn days we were able to do different activities with much more comfort. Here were some of our favorites!
