Hawaii 2010 - Last Days in Maui

We started our last full day in Maui down at the beach. Claire loved wading and watching the waves with Mommy & Daddy.

We cleaned up and headed into Lahaina for lunch and a little shopping and sightseeing. Mom found a beautiful necklace at one of the shops, and Claire got two pairs of Crocs. She couldn't wait to put on a pair and wore them out of the store.

The next day we went to the Kihei Caffe for a big breakfast before our flight to the Big Island. They had some small cups for water, and Claire was excited about drinking water from a "big girl glass." We practically had to wrestle it away from her when it was time to eat - the cinnamon roll french toast and fresh fruit were pretty enticing, though!

Our flight to Kona was short and uneventful. Somehow the stroller didn't make it on to our plane, but it was the least essential piece of baggage we needed (and they brought it to our condo the next day). We found out that a lot of people were coming in for a PGA golf tournament and realized that the nicer restaurants might be pretty busy, so I called and got a reservation at Roy's. We didn't have a lot of time, so we checked in, changed clothes, and headed to the restaurant. We had a fabulous meal and were all really impressed by Dad's ribs.

Claire did really well and looked super cute in her new dress

We turned in pretty early that night to get ready for our trip to the volcano the next day!

Been enjoying your posts about Hawaii! We are really wanting to go....now have enough miles to fly first class, but just looking for the right time. When we do go, I will be in touch because I know you will have some suggestions to share!
I especially want to eat at some of the restaurants you have shared about....the food looks amazing!
