Kaannapali Beach Hotel


Hawaii's Most Hawaiian Hotel according to their advertising. Won some awards in the early 90s so perhaps in need of renovation but it does me. I should be putting in lots of extra punctuation like a European language but have not trained this computer yet.
So what do you do on Maui?
1. Look at the sunset. Never disappoints.
2. Listen to Hawaiian music, as we did during dinner and also now as I type. I'm sure it beats watching whatever is on the box, particularly on a sultry night like this one.
3. Eat at least one thing with pineapple in it. Watched an impressive cocktail being transported tonight with dry ice fogging out of a whole pineapple.
4. Watched is the key word - I enjoy watching Americans at play. Generally speaking they behave impeccably. People watching is a major pastime here, like any beach resort.
5. Get married. Hmmm. Too late for us but it sure is popular. And as they say we never look better than on our wedding day it explains the number of trim guests here. Present company excepted. That pinacolada cheese cake was probably a mistake. Especially as Tess only ate one mouthful.
6. How many things do you want to do????
We're off to a free breakfast tomorrow while we figure out the order of our Maui adventures - road to Hana, helicopter trips over the volcanic west, wiggly road trips up the central volcano, checking out the old port capital of Lahaina near where we are staying.
I find holidaying in Hawaii always exceeds expectations because we never know exactly what to expect. And as long as we enjoy nights like tonight I will be a happy Tourist of Oz.
Aloha!
Rob
