Jill and I arrived late afternoon Saturday. The flight was fine ... a bit long, but we survived. We got our luggage and our red convertable Mustang (that was a little stressful, but we won't focus on that) and we headed to the other side of the island.
We had the top down the whole way. The drive was nice. After checking in, we decided that we were hungry. It was very late according to our body's clocks, but it was only evening local time. We ate at a place called Compadre's in Lahaina Town. The food was really good. I liked the chips and salsa. We ordered a plate of carnitas which were also very good. I especially enjoyed the vinegar sauce that came with them. After dinner, we went shopping for groceries and then came back to the place and crashed.
I woke up at 3am the next day and really couldn't get back to sleep. Jill woke up about 45 minutes later and we talked for a few hours. Church was at 9am. There were many tourists in sacrament meeting, but from the comments the locals made, it sounded like there weren't that many tourists there. After church, we went to a crafts show and Jill got some gifts for various peoples.
When we got back home, we took a nap and then we took a walk on the beach. It was blissful! After lunch, we met with a timeshare salesmen who showed us the new properties they they've just built. GORGEOUS! For a chance to stay one week a year on a three bedroom villa overlooking the beach, you only have to pay $109,000. The villas were very nice, but obviously for the very rich. He said that a one bedroom suite (the type we're staying in) runs for about $14,000.
After the tour, we strolled along the beach and walked around Whaler's Village. We looked in all the shops and then enjoyed the sunset. Very NICE! We ate dinner at Leilanis .... we got a table right by the beach and ate under tiki torches. It was very cozy and the food was good. Jill ate the Opa (fish) and I had fish and chips.
Six more days of bliss to go!
