MAUI, Hawaii _ So you came all this way and, oh, it's raining. Hey, you're still on Maui. Are you really going to get all cranky?
Often you can drive a few miles _ or wait 10 minutes _ and you'll have sunshine again.
But there are days when spongy gray clouds cover the whole island and it's not the beach weather you'd bargained for.
"We've had a lot of rain _ this whole year has been an anomaly," said Brian Jenkins, manager of Napili Village condos, where we stayed on a recent visit.
So you don't have to hang in your room and watch bad TV. With advice from Jenkins and a little exploring, we found good things to do when the weather occasionally goes south.
