Lazy Maui Weekend

We went to see Ulalena last night after winning that one free ticket on our first night at the Lahaina Shores Beach Resort. It was.....O---K----. Maybe it's because we're not truly mainland tourists, but it wasn't really worth the $32.00 a person we ended up paying for both of us to go. It was sort of a Hawaiian Cirque du Soleil sort of show. However, the performers really tried their best to give you a good time.

Today, we're staying at the Kaanapali Hyatt Regency which our son-in-law is treating us to. It's very, very, VERY Luxurious, but you know what? We really liked the Lahaina Shores Beach Resort. Our room there was very spacious and it had a fully furnished kitchen. The bathroom had a separated sink area so that two people could do their own personal thing. It was also just 10 minutes walking distance from the center of Lahaina. I'd stay there again.

The Kaanapali Hyatt Regency is a secluded resort. Walking about the hotel with its meandering walkways filled with golden crowned cranes, flamingo and parrots, I didn't see a single local person. Ah well... this is quite the experience.


It's a leisurely Saturday. We'll be returning to Oahu tomorrow night.

I'm able to get to the computer more easily now that we're actually staying in the same hotel with Tif and her family. It's been very hard to post on an unfamiliar computer. However, perhaps it's good because it prohibited me from posting 50 photos a day.


Here's a photo I forgot to post yesterday. Tif bought both KC and me matcing t-shirts. KC had fun telling me we were twins.

  7. We've stayed at a Ka'anapali resort, but I don't remember which one it was. I remember long, sweeping walkways to get to other resorts in the area and to the shops. It's a beautiful area. We've also stayed at a condo in Lahaina and loved that area. You're having a wonderful time there with Tiffany and KC, and that's most important of all.

  9. You are all so pretty!
    I agree with you about the resorts and all the tourist areas. They don't interest me. That's why I love Hilo so much; it's more down to earth.
    I guess it's a matter of taste.
