All the others to Maui have been 13-14 days, with our honeymoon trip being 10 days split between Oahu/Kauai. The trip we're planning in September for the Maui Photo Festival is only going to be 7-8 days, so that will actually be our shortest trip yet.

I don't know where else they'd get it. Since the back of the form is optional, the data can't be 100% accurate, but I guess comparing year to year for trends is like comparing apples to apples. I was also surprised with the 9.19 days of stay. I've gone for a few as 5 days and as many as 14 days. How about you? @ Rick - just curious, why do you find that hard to believe? For the life of me, I can't figure out why more people don't visit the Big Island to see the active lava flow. I mean, can it get any more exciting than that?! @ Kris – I do believe that form is the source for most of the data. I don’t know where else they’d get it.

Good stuff. The 9.19 day average length was a little surprising, I thought it might have been lower.
