<\/a>1st Sunset<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sunday: We arrive on Maui in the afternoon and had made dinner reservations at one of our favorite restaurants on the Kaanapali strip, the Hula Grill<\/strong> – right on the beach, feet in the sand, and one of the best ribeye steaks I’ve ever had.\u00a0 I know I’m supposed to eat fish here, but this was too good to pass up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kaanapali strip<\/p><\/div>\n Monday: Stroll the ‘Kaanapali Strip’<\/strong> seeing who has the best Mai Tais – started small umbrella collection.\u00a0 Got in front of a TV early enough to watch the Alabama-Georgia<\/strong> championship game.\u00a0 The game was over by 6:00 Hawaii time, so went to dinner at Monkey Pod<\/strong>, right behind Hula Grill.\u00a0 Yes, I had fish . . . tacos!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As promised, a sunset and dinner on our sunset dinner cruise<\/p><\/div>\n Tuesday: Golf at the Kaanapali Royal Golf Course<\/strong> on a perfect day then a sunset dinner (fish) cruise – seeing lots of whales and a beautiful sunset.\u00a0 After the cruise we wandered Front Street<\/strong> in Lahaina<\/strong> and settled in at an upstairs bar called Captain Jack’s<\/strong>.\u00a0 We sat at the upstairs bar next to two guys from Rhode Island; one of them got up to go to the restroom and while he was gone, a restaurant employee came by and asked if anyone was using his bar stool.\u00a0 We said yes, but he took the stool anyway.\u00a0 When the guy returned from the bathroom, he was surprised that his seat was gone and asked what happened.\u00a0 We told him and he looked around for an empty stool, found one and threw it off the balcony<\/strong> onto the street below and walked out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Sparrow on the ceiling<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n Wednesday: Free day, no golf, no tours, but still mai tais!\u00a0 Drove north up to Kapalua and Napili, had liquid lunch at Duke’s<\/strong>.\u00a0 Back to Lahaina, strolling Front Street, stopped at Cheeseburger in Paradise<\/strong> where I found my name on the ceiling. Continued on for dinner at The Lahaina Fish Company<\/strong>, yes, we had fish!\u00a0 Then we went to Warren & Annabelle’s Magic Show<\/strong> and saw two great acts – John George<\/strong>, who was a great magician and pretty funny, and Chris Blackmore<\/strong> who was a good magician and very funny.\u00a0 A very fun evening!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sunset at Humu Humu<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n Thursday: Golf at the private course, King Kamehameha Country Club<\/strong>, awesome golf course and another perfect day.\u00a0 The club house was designed in 1957 by famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright<\/strong>, although he originally designed it as a house for Marilyn Monroe<\/strong> (long story).\u00a0 Today, as the solitary structure on the hill, it looks like the start of a lunar colony.\u00a0 After golf, we continue south to the Grand Wailea<\/strong> restaurant and my favorite bar in the world, Kumu Kumu<\/strong> (real name Kumukumunukunukuapua’ha – it’s a fish!).\u00a0 I had a fish with a shorter name, Linda had a $100 ribeye, and said she should have ordered the fish!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bob looking good. No, not me, the parrot’s name is Bob – he kept calling out my name, or was he calling out his name?<\/p><\/div>\n King Kamehameha Golf Club House<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Breakfast at Mala Ocean Tavern. We were so close to the water we got ocean spray in our coffee<\/p><\/div>\n The trip was too short, but sweet – sorta like many of my Mai Tais!<\/p>\n by Bob Sparrow Sunday: We arrive on Maui in the afternoon and had made dinner reservations at one of our favorite restaurants on the Kaanapali strip, the Hula Grill – right on the beach, feet in the sand, … read more![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fromabirdseyeview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Kaanapali-strip-300x150.jpg\")
