Today is Monday and our plan was to hang out by the pool most of the morning and then head down to Lahaina for our planned Luau. That's exactly what we did.
I did take a run down the beach about 1.5 miles. Half of it was running on the sand and the rest on some boardwalk areas in front of some of the other hotels. It was very tough running in the sand as it was very soft.
After hanging out by the pool for a while I decided to walk back over the Star market to get a few things, I picked up a bottle of Bacardi Gold rum to mix with our cherry coke zero that we bought the day before, Those certainly were a tasty combination to drink by the pool.
Around 2pm we got cleaned up and headed down to the Lahaina mall. The kids spent most of the time in Game Stop playing with the new game releases, Jonathan and I played Guitar Hero on Tour on the Nintendo DS. Anne did some shopping and got us all Maui shirts.
We got the the Old Lahaina Luau early and had to wait outside. Anne looked over and noticed a kid's flowered Hawaiian shirt that looked like one of mine. Then she looked closer and said "That's Conner from Highland's School". Sure enough it was one of Jonathan's old classmates. What are the chances of that! Jonathan spent time sitting at their table talking before the Luau started. The Luau was lots of fun and both kids really enjoyed it. The sunset was beautiful. What a great location. The drinks were weak but very fruity and tasty. My observation was that the traditional Hawaiian hula was a mix of Yoga and African dance. Very interesting to watch but after seeing it performed for the last week and half it was starting to all look the same. There are only so many moves.
Another very enjoyable day,
