Days 10 and 11 Maui











Day 10: Shopping/Tommy Bahama Cafe

We spent the day shopping, browsing and relaxing. The Shops of Wailea is a great outdoor mall; more upscale.

The boys discovered the Tommy Bahama Cafe where they proceeded to have several (no ones counting) cocktails. They both determined they were serving the best cocktails on Maui - so you know what that means. We ended up eating there for dinner and having more cocktails. The pupus (appetizers) were very good - happy hour is the way to go; everything is 1/2 off. Greg and I were so pleased that they were serving Key Lime pie - it was super yummy! Can you tell that we've been eating a lot on this vacation. I'm sure I've gained at least 10 pounds.

Day 11: Departure/Hana

Unfortunately today was the day Monica/Peanut had to return home. We took them to the airport, bid them farewell, and headed once again for our second trip on the Road to Hana.

This time we were a bit more adventurous and hiked into many (almost all) of the falls on the journey. They are so many falls tucked in behind all the vegitation. We stopped at the "half way to Hana" shack and had a shaved ice (yes - I love those too). We saw the rainbow eucalyptus, the gigantic elephant ears, and even a seal.

We especially enjoyed the back side of the Road to Hana - it has some volcanic rock and a beautiful mountain gorge; so very different than the first part of the drive.
