Kaanapali is a beach resort which has a path along the beach from one end to the other as well as a free shuttle and an outdoor shopping centre (Whalers Village). It's really nice to be able to get around so easily. The bus to Lahina also leaves from Whalers Village ($2) so we've avoided having to rent a car so far.
We spent considerable time today at the beach and pool and in the water. I declared that it was great to unwind and slow down from my hectic work schedule - Phil teased this was a bit of a step up from his retirement daily schedule! Great for us to meet in the middle :)
Tried the Mai Tai's today - it is Hawaii after all! Seriously alcohol heavy. I only managed 1/2 of it. Prefer the sweeter Rum Swizzles from Bermuda but gotta try it since we're here.
Our big adventure today was the Luau - quite the show! The excavation of the pig got derailed by the appearance of a mouse who was scurrying back and forth under the blanket covering the pig - right after they had us all move over to the pit to see the uncovering. They decided to not unveil the pig (wise move) - turns out that they already had pork from a previous pig in the buffet. The show was fantastic - with a fire twirling finale. We chatted with a lovely couple on their honeymoon from Virginia. They got up at 3 in the morning to drive up a treacherous road to see the sun come up over the volcano - turns out the clouds were so thick that they ended up wet and cold with no sunrise - I think we made a smart choice to pass on this activity.
