October 1st, already?  Can you believe it?  Me, neither!  Time may be moving fast, but at least we have these Hawaii news tidbits to keep us happy.

• Hot off the press is Maui News’ 2008 edition of The Best of Maui! It’s a guide of Maui News readers favorite restaurants and entertainment/activities. This year’s best restaurant overall category had a tie with Hali’imaile General Store and Mama’s Fish House sharing the top spots. You can download the guide (in sections) for free here. 
• Nathan at the Kam Family Blog tells us about a great offer to download Hawaiian music generously offered by Mountain Apple Company and United Airlines.
• Maui’s luxurious Hotel Hana offers some excellent fall specials including reduced rates  and resort credit.  Worth noting is that these specials don’t require a minimum stay which would make staying here perfect if you’re planning on exploring the road to Hana and hiking the nearby trails.
