slo’s WEDNESDAY 9/21 poll - Luau

[bobbiwoz]

Poly, Aulani and another one in Maui. I thought the one in Aulani was the best. Moana made an appearance!

First trip to Hawaii was 50 years ago, and I went to a Luau. Not sure how authentic it was, but it was nice.
Last trip to Hawaii was in 2007. The Luaus cost $100 a person then and my wife and kids felt that was too much money, they wanted to do other things. My daughter is vegetarian so a roasted pig wasn't a big draw for her.
If I ever make it back to Hawaii I would like to go to the Luau at the Polynesian Cultural center, even though it costs $250 a person. I just remember going to the center and learned so much about the actual culture of Hawaii, not the Travel Agency version.

Like others, we have been to Paradise Cove in Hawaii. It was a good time but nothing that I feel like I have to do again.

I went to the one at the Poly when I was little and I remember very little about it. Would like to go to Hawaii someday and maybe do one there.

It looks like you are directing the band there in that 4th picture, Sandy.

I remember you and Steph from around that time at the Chicago meets.

Seems like yesterday, but also so long ago.

We should do another DIS Meet - something to think about for the winter when there’s not much going on.

I've only been to the one at the Poly, in 1992. I remember a lot of it because I had so much fun. I still have a flamingo swizzle stick from the drink I had with my dinner.

Once, in Maui.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I've never been and am fairly indifferent. I bet they're fun though!

Going to Hawaii (Aulani) next year, will likely try to do a luau. Never tried the Poly luau, didn't hear too many great reviews of it.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I have never been, but it sounds like fun.

Other: Did you know that just a pound of poi will feed 10,000? Well if you've ever been to a Luau, you'll know how.

The only one I have been to was at The Polynesian. It was back in the 1970s as part of our Senior Class trip. It was a been there done that for me . If we ever get to Hawaii I will look into going to an authentic Luau.

I went to the Royal Lahaina Luau once in Maui. It was pretty great.

Paradise Cove is basically right next door to Aulani, if you decide you'd like to go off-site.
