Hearts in Hawai'i
Our Trip to Maui (2012)--Day 18
5/9/2012
Up just before 7:00 and munched peanut butter toast for breakfast (again). Patty wanted to do one final load of laundry prior to tonight’s packing so I had to get some quarters from Allison.
They are shutting off the water for an hour this morning to do plumbing repairs. This is the fourth or fifth time they have done this. Not an inconvenience as I’m usually out in the sun during this time.
No real plans today, other than hitting the sun for one final session of browning. Thoughts of heading home are dominating my mind this morning, along the lines of what to do, when to pack stuff, etc.
One final session in the sun from 11:00-2:00, got pretty cooked. Forehead is slightly burned. So it is possible to burn even with this tan! Patty is laughing at this. Ha ha.
Honu Seafood & Pizza
We napped for a short time after a shower then headed over to Honu Seafood & Pizza for dinner. We had discussed going elsewhere (specifically, Cool Cat Café), but decided to honor the reservation we had made. Are we glad we did! We had a waterfront table directly in the sun, which felt slightly uncomfortable, given how much sun I'd had earlier today. Later a few clouds rolled in which helped a great deal. The service here is top-notch, as they really pay attention to anything which may be lacking, be it water or soda. Patty had soup and salad, and thought it was excellent. I had the spicy sausage pizza, which is a thin-crust 12-inch, 8-piece affair. The sausage was outstanding, the sauce likewise. I also had a Virgin Lava Flow after dinner, while we shared some ice cream.
The atmosphere here, after the tiki torches are lit and the sun disappears, is supurb, equal to Kimo’s. Mark Ellman has hit a home run with this place! We will definitely be returning here.
Sunset at Honu Seafood & Pizza
Back to the room, got most of our stuff packed. Tomorrow we move to room 503 (day room) where we’ll be until we check out, probably at 5 p.m. It is sad to have another vacation come to a close, but we have gained many new memories.
