FYI, if you are going to Maui for the Xterra Worlds and need a place to stay, Maui Coast Hotel is offering special rate ($150/night) plus extras, for participants and spectators alike. You can get all the details at www.mauicoasthotel.com. Mahalo.
A great site to use for Hawaii condos is http://www.vrbo.com. I get killer rental condo units (two bedroom, sleep 6) for Xterra every year at prices comparable to little moldy hotel rooms. Kihei and Wailea condos are all within biking distance to the race venue.
For any of you that are current, reserve, retired military, dependents of the previous three, or civilians employed by DOD, you can go to: http://www.afvclub.com for vacation rentals all over the world. Awesome deals in a lot of locales. There are other categories eligibles, but those were the ones off the top of my admittedly-small head. Armed Forces Vacation Club, is what it’s called.
