Back to Oahu

I do have to admit that the Hyatt Regency at Kaanapali is quite luxurious. Because our son-in-law travels so much on business he's able to collect some kind of points to enable him to get rooms free or on discounts or something or other. Our room was on the TOP floor! Ocean view! Good grief!


KC loved going to the pool with her daddy and got very brown even with spf 100 sunscreen.


Our bedroom was really luxurious with lots of lovely, complimentary freebies.


We insisted that Tif and Ed go out to a NICE restaurant together and we would babysit KC. I've watched them with KC and I really think it's hard to enjoy fancy cuisine while focusing their attention on an excited, over-tired from the sun, three year old who wants nothing but macaroni and cheese.

After they left, we walked along the ocean to Whaler's Village and had a sunset dinner at Leilani's. What did KC want? Yup! Macaroni and cheese, which she pronounced yummy!


We then happened upon some Tahitian dancers that KC really had fun watching. Some of the dancers looked younger than KC. It was truly impressive.


When Tif and Ed returned, they told us that they'd gone to the #1 restaurant on Maui, the Lahaina Grill. They were absolutely ecstatic. Tif says everything was perfection and no matter how full she was, she just couldn't stop eating because it was so delicious! They felt Lahaina Grill deserves all the accolades it has received over the years. Frankly, I think they enjoyed it even more because they could concentrate on their food to taste and savor it.


This morning, Art and I had a free breakfast in the Concierge Lounge. There were all kinds of beverages, egg frittatas, smoked salmon, an assortment of cheeses, wonderful fruit, cereal, breads, muffins,etc. It was fabulous!

One of the servers guessed that we were the only locals in the lounge and came to talk to us for quite a while. We had such fun!


This is our Ocean View from our room at the top. We could see the island of Lanai in the distance and there was another island as well, but I don't know if it was the Big Island.

It was such a weird feeling to be able to see two islands from outside our sliding doors. Maui is quite close to the islands of Lanai, Molokai and Kahoolawe. I think you can even see the Big Island.

Ed had to return to work this afternoon so we had to bid him a sad farewell. Tif and KC will stay with us on Oahu until Wednesday. My brother and sister-in-law had brought over Tif's favorite guava chiffon cake. Another friend brought banana bread and giant strawberries. Wow!

KC has rediscovered her toy closet and book shelves. Oh... it's wonderful! It was cute to hear KC remember her visit last summer and say, "Mommy, I was here before when I was already a big girl."
