Seriously Dee that sunset is simply beautiful! I love yours and Marks nightly ritual of a dip in the peaceful pool to round off the day
I must also confess I have never eaten a shaved ice! Am I missing out? They look tasty and the menu reads well but I don't think I've ever seen them for sale
It's so funny. Mark refuses to look at sunrise or sunset pictures because they look different through the lens of a camera than they do just watching them.
I was surprised how much he enjoyed the nightly swim, since he doesn't usually use pools that much on vacation, especially when we have the ocean for an option. But we took a few mid-day swim breaks at
Disneyland, too. None on our Feb Universal trip, though.
Shave ice is definitely a Hawaiian treat. You don't see it in too many other places. They are good, but to be honest, I'm more of an ice cream gal.
Your trip report is making me want to visit Hawaii asap!
Not a bad plan! It was the right time to visit Hawaii for our family.
Love the sunset pictures.
We did the luau in Lahaina. We walked Front Street also. Did you see the huge banyan tree there?
Thanks!
Was it the Old Lahaina luau? I think that is the most famous one.
You know, we must not have walked far enough in the right direction. I'm guessing I would know if I saw the banyan tree.
I love your "do nothing day"! Great snacks, food, picture perfect sunset and the water looks lovely.

It was really strange for us not to have an agenda or itinerary for the day, but in spite of that, it was a great day!
Beautiful pics and
to a do-nothing day! Those can make the best memories!
Thanks! It was a welcome, relaxing sort of day, which was just perfect after our 4 days at DL, the activity on Oahu and our travel day.
Thank you so much!!!
Sorry I missed this update. Where was I?
I'm glad you finally found some authentic shaved ice. I know from reading Podsnel's TRs that is a VERY big thing. Nothing but the best. Love the menu with all the possible add-ons.
Sounds like fun shopping, but even better is the yummy food picture. I would be all over that.
The prices for your fins and chair are amazing and I can't believe they gave you a refund for returning early.
That pool looks lovely. I can definitely see getting into that type of evening routine.
And that sunset is to die for! Just stunning!
The one we had in Oahu was not good, and we had some later in the trip that was ok, not great, but baby bear would definitely approve of the ones from Ululani's. The shave ice that afternoon was just right!
I love a mixed Mediterranean platter like that, or like you can get at the Tangierine Café in EPCOT. Such light, but satisfying tastes.
We were shocked at a refund at the Snorkel place. After the high cost of everything there we almost asked- "Are you sure?" Almost!
I know you would definitely appreciate the pool and the sunsets!
What a great do nothing day. Glad you got the right shaved ice and the sunset pictures are spectacular. You are making me want to go back more and more.
I hope you and Mark can make it back there, but it is hard with so many competing travel destinations. Oh, yeah, and the huge pricetag!
