It was quite interesting to see a different mountain range. Maui is quite different from Oahu.
We wandered throughout the resort Tif and her family was staying at while KC insisted on picking fallen flowers up from the ground to give to us. I was noticing that there weren't a whole lot of locals staying there.
Tif and Ed treated us to a fancy dinner at 'Umalu which is at their hotel, the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa.
Art and I shared a bulgogi sandwich and a seared ahi kula greens salad with kim chee on the side. It was perfect!
We're staying at the not-as-fancy Lahaina Shores Beach Resort and we really like it. It's got a wonderful kitchen with a fully furnished kitchen.
I love the mountain view! Art got up early this morning and went for a jog through Lahaina and who should he bump into but my cousin, Arnold and his friend, Nancy who were vacationing from Oahu. They invited us to lunch.
We were having such a great time that we stayed there for two hours!
My swordfish and kula greens salad was fantastic!
Then Art and I walked over to see the old 137 year old Banyan tree that Lahaina is also famous for.
Tif came to pick us up to spend the afternoon together and now we're going out to the Pineapple Grill for dinner tonight. I'll say one thing for Maui, it's got great food.
sounds great, would love to vacation there...
ReplyDeleteSo glad it all came together, Kay!

You really have a lovely land.
And you full with the full moon, wow.
Have a great time with your sweetie-pies.
You guys look great! Maui is so fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDina: Ooops! Sorry about that. I wasn't very clear. We came in yesterday. The luncheon was today. I combined two days into one post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful mini-holiday you're having.
ReplyDeleteI love Maui but havent been there for 15 years. I was trying to remember where we stayed as it could have been where you were. Oh your baby girl is growing up fast, what a doll she is. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWe're having a wonderful time here in Kona. I am revisiting all of my favorite foods and enjoying the gorgeous turquoise water. The shopkeepers here seem to be much friendlier than those on Oahu. The waitress even sat down to visit with me today in the restaurant! Nice folks. Very laid back and friendly.
ReplyDeletepeople on the mainland aren't aware, in general, how little we get to visit the neighbor islands. Usually the outer island folks visit Honolulu.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. Love the scenery.
ReplyDeleteI really envy you this!!! And remember: Here today -- gone to Maui!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds heavenly, Kay! I can't imagine it.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you get to see KC again![and her parents, too, of course!!]
