Day 2 in Maui

Day 2 was pretty chill. Cheryl/Davis and WinCo went to the wedding rehearsal way early in the morning, so Appletini and I went to Ka'anapali in an attempt to find some easy waves to surf. Unfortunately, there were really no waves to speak of, so we just went for a swim.

After swimming, we walked by the resorts and Whaler's Village shopping center. At the Westin (aka Waterslide Westin), we tried to go on the big slide, but it was for guests only. However, they had a smaller slide and a really cool pool with a waterfall cave that led to a jacuzzi. And they also had a nice lounge by the beach with fresh towels and really comfy pool chairs that were perfect for napping!

We then got hungry so ended up driving back towards Lahaina in search of Curry in a Hurry since it had good reviews and lots of Dave/Tina friendly food. Turns out they aren't in a hurry at all. In fact, they run on Hawaiian Time, which meant that they didn't open for lunch until 2pm! Not only that they are near impossible to find--it's just a shack in the middle of the parking lot with almost no signs whatsoever. Oh well, their food looked pretty good... we ended up getting burritos at Maui Tacos instead.

After lunch went to Wailea and hung out at Appletini/WinCo's condo and hung out there and went shopping at the mall for a while. On the way back from Lahaina we got some sugarcane juice from a roadside shop. Juice was ok but wouldn't recommend that stand as the guy was an kind of an ass (we tried buying from him in the morning but basically told us to go away till he was good and ready, but not seeing any other source for sugarcane we went back to him--and paid an expensive $5/each for a small cup of juice. He also wouldn't sell us plain sugarcane to chew on).

After shopping went to dinner at Mama's Fish House in Pa'ia. Great food with even better views. Winnie and I couldn't stop taking pics of the place, it was awesome. (photos stolen from Winnie and the official website since i didn't bring my camera =)
