Thanks to a good guidebook, my parents and sisters, and seasoned-Maui-bum Nicole, we had enough advice for 6 trips! But every one's recommendations were appreciated.
Highlights: Feast by the Sea - we got these tickets for free somehow. Normally they are $60 a piece so that was great. It was similar to a luau - fire dancing, hula hips, etc.
How do dry LDS people seem to gravitate to each other anywhere you are?! We just happened to sit next to a BYU honeymooning couple. Here's a pic of us at sunset. This couple took a picture of us with their fancy camera. It's amazing how an expensive camera can make you look better. Hopefully they will remember to send us a copy. (PS this is from our unattractive camera).
We snorkeled several times and saw a turtle and big schools of fish. I find it so relaxing. Except the second time my mask was ill-fitted and was too tight yet leaked on one side. That sucked.
The Road to Hana was beautiful, just breath-taking. You see so many waterfalls, after the 12th one, "do we have to stop and see ANOTHER one?" Adam was way disappointed because after a 1/2 day drive suddenly the road was closed due to a bridge collapse. We were so close to the Seven Sacred Pools but there is basically that one way to get there, so out of luck, had to turn around and go home without the sacred pools healing our bodies. 
We had fun in a lava tube on the way to Hana. Part of the stalactite ceiling looks like melted chocolate. This is what I learned. Maybe you remember this from 9th grade geology but I didn't. How to remember the difference: Stalagmite - "G" for ground. Stalactite - "C" for ceiling.
I had fun in Lahaina shopping. Adam endured the tourist shops. We ate lots of good food. And had a great time with a magic show.
In the end, yes I was burned in various spots of my body. I tried to be good about sunscreen but I am just a white piece of cheap wonder bread that crisps in the sun.
