Feb. 13, 2015: to Kahului and the Maui Tropical Plantation:
Weird things have been happening to me with Blogger this trip! Don't
know if it's our old laptop, the internet here (at both Kauai and
Maui???), or some unknown user error :(, or is it because it's Friday
the 13th!?!!! My Maui blog disappeared. At least it was only 1 day
long, so it was easy to replace.
Anyway---we
started the day by going to the Expedia presentation at our resort
hoping to win one of the activities. Last time I won a free luau and
the time before that I won a free sunset cruise. No such luck today.
Then we went to the Worldmark owner update; remember the 15 minute one
we went to for Wyndham on Kauai?---they pretty much matched that here.
Took our gift card and left. Thanks Worldmark and Wyndham for the $325
in gift cards to spend in Hawaii
The day was another
one not conducive to snorkeling. They keep getting hit with South
swells and before the water can totally clear up, another one hits.
Seems to be affecting the West shores, too. East seems ok, but the only
snorkel beach I know of on the East side is by Hana and that's quite a
ways away. Suppose to be bad again tomorrow. I hardly know what to do
when I can't go snorkeling!!! But we did have to find a Walgreens one
of these days for one of hubby's meds to be refilled, so we decided to
do that and take in lunch at Stillwell's. Just a view here of some of
the clouds. Surprisingly, it was like this all day, but we didn't see
any rain.
OK, there were some areas of blue sky. Here I was taking a picture of
the sugar cane fields. Wonder how long they'll be around.
I hinted we should go tour the Sugar Mill, but I got no response from Ken on that.
On to Stillwell's in Wailuku (next to Kahului). Interesting area.
Lunch was very good! They make a great Caesar salad. Of course the
real reason to go there was for dessert. Got the special---coconut
cream pie. It was good, but not as good as the lilikoi cheesecake we
had before. Guess we'll have to go back!
