We woke up, got breakfast, then went for our walk-off-breakfast walk. This time instead of going to Long's Drugs, we walked the other way toward the Sunseeker, a "fabulous" rainbow resort that we stayed at on our last trip to Maui. Along the way, we all took pictures of flowers that were just growing alongside the road.
Then we got back to the room, showered, dressed, packed up, hopped in the car and headed back to Kahului, the city in the center of town. We needed to go to Costco again to get more Vodka (can you imagine?) and another 7 weeks of food. Garry wanted to stop at the Harley Davidson store and get Maui Biker gear for his folks.
Then we headed to WalMart where we picked up another 12 pairs of contact lenses for Garry. Now he has no excuse to not get into the water! Sadly that took about 2.5 hours so we naturally had to shop. I found a wild pair of "fabulous" board shorts, and Russ (of course) found a few things to buy, and Garry bought more souvenirs for his folks back home.
After the contacts, we dropped everything off at the room, grabbed a bottle of wine and some cups and headed off to....can you guess...?
Little Beach! Tonight was the first full moon and we decided to stay for sunset and then moonrise. It was worth it.
Of course we all got in the water and played. The waves were big again so we did our body surfing. Then after a while we got out and Garry sprawled out on his beach towel to soak in the sun. Russ and I watched the people, including a group of kids doing some boogie-boarding in the waves. One fellow--either poor or adventurous--was using only a cafeteria lunch tray. And doing a pretty good job with it!
We had a visitor..
Then, after another hike along the rocks and through the brambles, we returned to our towels, poured wine into the plastic tumblers and watched the sunset.
As always, it was pretty. The sun went down, the chilly breeze picked up, the beach emptied of people (except for the die-hard folk) and we waited for the moon. Knowing that the climb down the cliff would be deadly-treacherous in the pitch-black darkness, we climbed to the top of the cliff and TADA! There was the moon glowing over a deserted Big Beach.
We took lots of pictures of that! Then it was back to the room. Russ made a fantastic Filet Mignon dinner while Garry and I lounged in the pool and hottub. Then we pulled pictures off the cameras...I thought about doing the web-pages, but was too zonked to really do it.
So we just went to bed and slept.
Aloha!
