This was our day for touring the island. We’d planned to do a big circuit, but there were time constraints. So we visited Lahaina, which is nice, if a little too much like Fishermans Wharf…
We started the drive to Hana, but we realized about a half hour in that it was pretty much just another winding road, and that it was going to take forever but not offer sufficient benefit for the time invested, so we aborted and headed back to Kihei to say goodbye to KC and Galen, and we watched the sunset from the correct side of the island…
We were pretty much determined to get local food for dinner, and we found it at Sheik’s in Kahului, a typical Hawaiian plate lunch sort of place. We liked. Muchly…
Afterward, it was back to Foodland (just because we could) and home to the hotel, so we could get up very early and fly back to Oakland…
Like I said, Hawai’i was never high on my list, but I’m glad we visited. People were friendly, the wedding was beautiful, and Spam was plentiful and cheap. Next visit, though, we’ll probably do Oahu. I’d imagine it’s a little more to our liking…
