Lynne and I left home at about 3:15 Wednesday morning to catch a 5:30 flight to SFO then a nice long flight to Maui. Luckily this time the Plane was only about 1/2 full plus we spent a little more money and had seats with a little more legroom.
We got in about 1:00 local time and went and hit Costco and a grocery store to pick up some food. Got to where we are staying at Kaanapali Shores around 4:00 Just spent the first evening kicking back at the room. Fixed supper and had a few homemade Mai-Tais.
The next morning we had breakfast then headed out to check things out down in south Maui. We went to Kihei and Wailea and checked out the resorts. Some very nice places in south Maui. We then came back to the room around 1:30 or so and had a little lunch in the room.
We then went to Lahaina and got our passes for a sunset cocktail cruise that departed at 5:00. They take you out on the ocean to go whale watching. They have an open bar plus serve you a pretty decent appetizer meal. The girls on the boat make a mean Mai-Tai. We seen quite a few whales and even got a Maui mugging, which is where whales swim around the boat and get so the captain has to stop moving until the whale moves on. I never did get a decent pic of a whale but they are a very neat sight to see.
