2015 Day 25 Hula Pie

Day 25 Hula Pie

Today was not a typical Maui day.  No sun, just rain.  If you look at the weather report it's going to rain every day for the next week.

Seems an appropriate way to stop and reflect on our wonderful stay here in Maui.  We can say we had better weather last year.  I think we can honestly say we have been there and did that here.  I think you can see that we tend to do the same things.  Is there a story to blog about?  I think there is because even tho you are doing the same things there is always something different.  We didn't have a plan Stan.  Does that mean we're not coming back Jack.   You can bet your bottom dollar Le Roy, we will be back.

When you arrive and check-in, there is a large portrait in the lobby of a family.  They are promoting a keepsake for your stay.  Here is a couple heading out to the ocean to get their keepsake photo.

The only problem is IT IS RAINING AND THE WIND IS BLOWING!  What a wonderful keepsake photo that will be in 20 years.  Gertie says to "Sam, Sam...Sam... SAM! what, look at this beautiful picture we have from our stay in Maui."  Sam says "who are those damn fools standing in the rain?"  You got to love Sam and Gertie.

We had some last minute shopping, you know how I hate to shop, so we went to the Whaler to pick up a few things and eat lunch at Leilani's on the Beach, one of your favorite places to eat.  I can remember the first time we eat there.  A fisherman just got out of his boat and was walking up to Leilani's with this huge fish over his back.  That's when you know when it says catch of the day they mean it, by George. 

We do like our Lemonade.  The more you drink the more you like it.  Well I had that fish sandwich.  If you know me fish is good when fish doesn't taste like fish.  First of all you should always ask what type of fish is in your fish sandwich, I didn't  Certain types of fish are prepared different here, from raw to completely cooked,  I had Ahi "tuna".  When cooked properly it is cooked raw in the middle.  Holy Moly!  Well you know me and my Midwestern up bringing, we never complain about our food.  I could have said take this back and nuke it please, I didn't.  Like a good Midwesterner I just sat there and nibbled around the edges.  When it got too red and soft and still jumping I stopped eating.  When the waiter said how is your food I said politely, it's great.  You know we never cause a disturbance.  We just smile and say it's great even tho the fish is still jumping on your plate.  As I said last year, they could give us road kill and we would just smile and say that was the best road kill I've had in a long time.  Now don;t get me wrong this place has excellent food I just made a poor choice.  Wanting to get the fish taste out of my mouth we ordered a Hula Pie.

Oh it did have two spoons.

We did our shopping and went back to our condo and a beautiful sun set.

It was a great day, it was a DGD!  It's raining.  See ya!
