About the Author

Cheryl Farr Leas may live on the mainland, but she’s a Hawaii
girl at heart. She fell in love with Diamond Head, aloha wear, and
mai tais in 1994 and has had trouble staying away ever since.
Whenever she’s not on the islands, she and her husband, Rob,
make their home in Phoenix, Arizona, where they love to hike the
desert mountains with their German Shepherd, Caleb.

Before embarking on a writing career, Cheryl served as senior
editor at Macmillan Travel (now Wiley), where she edited the
Frommer’s Hawaii travel guides for the better part of the 1990s.
Now happy to be a globetrotting branding consultant and writer,
Cheryl also writes Hawaii For Dummies.

Dedication

This book is for Rob, for loving Maui as much as I do.

Author’s Acknowledgments

Thanks to Lisa Renaud for her encouragement and assistance through-
