LAST DAY - BOO HOO!!!!

Our last day in Maui we started out slow. Slept late (8am?), went to the cafe to grab some breakfast sandwiches, then went to Big Beach at Makena State Park. It was a local beach with lifeguards and some big waves. No one surfing, but a bunch of guys ripping it up on boogie-boards. We ate our breakfast watching all of the lifeguards hang out and kill themselves in waves. I was not deterred by the waves, so I got in there and hit them. Those waves were no match for me.



Later after lunch, we went up to the 'non-adult' pool, because they have a swim up bar (makes sense, right?). We grabbed a sandwich and a drink, and met a couple from LA who were very nice. We joined them in a few more drinks, and a few tequila shots, and we stumbled back to the room to get ready for our final dinner in Maui.

We had a private cabana setup by the pool for our dinner. We were worried about a large function going on nearby with Abbot Labs, but the restaurant manager was sure to keep everyone away from us so we could keep our intimate dinner intimate. We had a bottle of wine, and for appetizers I had delicious ahi roll. We don't remember what Connie had for appetizer because we were still drunk from the tequila shots. I do remember having filet & lobster tail for dinner (of which I ate hardly any of, cuz of the huge ahi roll I had already eaten), and Connie had Opha (or 'moonfish'), which was very good. Afterward we strolled to the beach to take in our last glimpse of our aloha lifestyle, as the next day we knew we were in for a long haul back to the East Coast, the kids, and reality.

Maui Thursday - ANNIVERSARY DAY

After the hell of the Road to Hana yesterday, we decided to take a well deserved rest today and do NOTHING but beach and pool. Nice....

For dinner, we went to Spago over at the Four Seasons, for the official 10 Year Anniversary Dinner (on June 10). It is a Wolfgang Puck restaurant. I'm no food snob, but this stuff was gooooooood. Holy crap! I had SPICY AHI TUNA “POKE” IN SESAME-MISO CONES for appetizer. I man was it good. We had tomato soup too... but it was no ordinary tomato soup... this was GOOD tomato soup. Con had some crabcakes for appetizer, and for dinner she had PINEAPPLE RED THAI CURRY WITH ONAGA AND SCALLOP, while I had PAN SEARED HAWAIIAN MAHI MAHI WITH GINGER-SAKE SAUCE. All was excellent. For dessert, we had mini chocolate cake and ice cream.
