We both woke up quite early, since we aren’t on “island-time” yet. We are five hours behind Georgia here, so that is taking some adjusting. We walked down to the concierge and booked the biking down the volcano tour and a sunset cruise. We walked around a little and took some beautiful pictures. We started getting a little hungry, so we decided to go get lunch at the Hula Grill, which we’ve heard wonderful things about. We took the shuttle to Whaler’s Village and were seated immediately, right on the water. We ordered the “Banana Mac” drink (wowie Maui yummy yum!). I ordered a barbecue sandwich with guava flavored barbecue sauce. It was served with fries and macadamia nut slaw, mmmmmm good! Shane ordered a fish plate which had “ Opah “ served with a white wine sauce….I tasted it and it sure was tasty. The view was lovely and we had a great time. We shopped around Whaler’s Village for a little while, then returned to the hotel, walked around a little more, then went back to the room to begin getting ready to go to dinner at Mama’s Fish House. Before we left, we discovered a Hawaiian drink called “POG” (Passion Fruit, Orange, Guava juice—mmmmm). We got dressed and once I put my new little polka-dot dress on, I realized a seam was torn. It was too late to iron something else, so I got a travel sewing kit from the front desk and literally sewed my dress, laying down in the seat of our silver PT cruiser convertible as we were driving down the road. You should just SEE the scenery as you drive. Between the mountains and the water and the smells….it’s just breathtaking. Mama’s Fish House was about a 45 minute trip. When we arrived, we were a bit early, so we had some great picture taking opportunities. When we were seated, they brought me a lei-since we are honeymooning. We were sitting right on the water, in the breeze. I ordered Mahi-Mahi with a coconut sauce. Oh MY Lord! It was served with pork, Hawaiian sweet potato (which is oddly purple), fried banana, starfruit, mango, friend pinapple, and poi (it soooo tasted like cement- ick!). Shane orderd the the macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi. It was stuffed with lobster and crab. I don’t eat fish, but both of our dishes were SO fresh and not fishy and just incredible! For desert, we had the “Black Pearl”…yummm! On the way back, we stopped on Front Street at Ka’anapali beach and did a little shopping and looking around. We returned to the hotel and sat in the hot tub and took a late-night stroll on the beach. It was a wonderful, wonderful first full day!
