Maui – Day 5

Wednesday morning, we thought we would go down to Lahaina and do a little souvenir shopping before it got too crowded. It was practically deserted compared to night time.

Time to get back to the condo and hit the beach! This day we went right outside our condo at Napili. When we snorkeled we saw the biggest sea turtles. We came up on one and then saw a bigger turtle come swim right over the top of the smaller one. I thought maybe it was the Mama protecting her baby. The smaller one (and I use the term lightly, ‘cause it was almost as big as me!) then swam away and we hung out with the Mama for a while. The fish were so pretty, too, and then coral. When the sky is clear the visibility in the way is so much better. It made the colors of the fish so vibrant!

After the day at the beach we had to get ready for a nice dinner. We had reservations at the Hula Grill in Kaanapali. The only bummer was – it rained that night! It wasn’t too bad of a rain, but we were hoping to watch the sun go down from our beach front seat. Well, at the least the food was good. Kurt had the Seared Tuna and I had the special which was Mahi Mahi and Swordfish.

Later back at the condo, we rented Star Trek and had some Ben and Jerry’s. Perfect day again!
