We had had a pretty full week and had purposely left this day open so we could do whatever we felt like doing, which ended up being a lot of lounging by the pool. Noelle got some snorkel gear from the hotel and went out just off the beach where we were staying. The coral beds and various colored fish were at least twice as amazing as Molikini! From now on, no more snorkel excursions for us! We'll rent gear for the day next time (NOT at the resort for $18.00/day but rather down the street in any local dive shop for $1.50/day) and just go right off the coast. It's easy and great snorkeling.
After a while, we got bored and decided to take a drive down the coast to Kihei to have "the best sushi on the island," as we'd been told be several people (@ Sansei seafood/sushi). It was about 2:30, we were starving, and when we finally found the restaurant it was closed until 5:30. Just another thing to add to our list of things to do next time! We found our way to Longhi's in Kihei for a light lunch of appetizers, then headed back to our end of town.
We relaxed in the room for several hours, watching tv, searching for photo postings on facebook of the wedding, checking email and basically just being kinda normal for a bit. Resort life is so removed from reality that we needed to check in to remember what real life was like.
That evening we found our way back to Front Street for some sight seeing, touristy shopping and to Kimo's for dinner. We had one of our top 3 meals there! Kimo's style mahi mahi. It was SO good!!!
That table by the railing on the left is exactly where we sat.
After dinner, we walked the entire length of Front Street. It is filled with restaurants and tourist shops and was buzzing with people. We also found this crazy park with Banya trees creating a sort of jungle gym throughout the park.
Those photo's don't really do the park justice. Here are a few I found on the internet:
