"Maui's the Best" and it's lived up to it's reputation. Yesterday we went to the top of Haleakala -- 10,000 feet --and had great views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island 100 miles away. On the way back down the hill we stopped at The Kula Lodge for a late lunch. It's always good, fresh food. I had a turkey and cheese and tomato panini with a wonderful ginger flavored slaw.
We drove through old Wailuku town and up to the Iao Needle which I hadn't been to since I was here years ago with Rick Boyle.
Our last stop was at Long's Drugstore (They have kept the name -- for now -- for a knee brace (It's slowly getting better, some boxed wine and some shrimp chips.)
We had a late dinner on board -- not a problem since 900+ guests were ashore at Luaus, etc. Our wonderful waiter, Andrew, kept bringing us "something for the table".
This morning Norm and Kim and Bob headed back to Lahaina for more shopping. I decided to stay onboard to get caught up on my posts and rest the leg.
I have my last acupuncture appointment for this cruise at 5:00PM which is when we sail for Nawiliwili, Kauai.
We are going to dinner tonight at Chops with Kim and Bob and Karen (A retired Pan Am/United FA and her husband Pete. I had a large, late breakfast so may skip lunch. Maybe
