Day 10 - Lahaina

The whole clan took it a bit easy this afternoon at the condo. Wild the three little pigs stayed at home, mama went out to get huffs and claws done. After she got back around 2:30pm, we got ready and left for Lahaina – tourist trap. Lahaina is located near the west of Maui and is more populous than Kihei. It has all the little tourist shops and is loaded with restaurants and bars. On the drive up we passed the wind mills on the side of the island and they looked massive.

The girls looked up restaurants online on our way there and decided on Lahaina Fish Company. We got to the restaurant around 4pm and couldn’t get seated for another 30 minutes. We hit a couple of shops and then headed back for grub time.

Dinner was fantastic! Lahaina Fish Company sat right on the water and we got seated in the best spot. Anna had the special – fresh caught grey snapper, LT had a prime rib (wonderful), Olivia had a coconut shrimp & tofu platter and I got an Opah (moonfish). Everyone’s food was simply delicious! Luckily we are on vacation here, because there is no way I could continue to afford to eat out in Hawaii for an ongoing basis. I do like that almost everywhere where we have eaten, the fish is always caught daily or is fresh.

None of us could leave Lahaina Fish Co. without trying the Mana Pie – made with Macadamia nuts. And of course a Lime Pie (Gi-Gi’s favorite). The Mana pie was far better than any pecan or nut pie I have ever tasted. This could easily add to one of my weaknesses!

With the time remaining before sunset, we bummed around the shops which lined the beach strand and bought ourselves some local memorabilia. The street had quite a bit of galleries selling art primarily from tv and movies star actors - Kind-a-weird! Anna and the kids went in to look at the artwork by Jim Carrey. I can assure you Olivia is a far better artist and should have her artwork there before Mr. Carrey’s – but as the say, “Art is in the eye of the beholder”, plus I am a little more basis for my daughter.

Sunset was absolutely beautiful as usual. Walk around a bit more and then ventured back to the casa!
