Well today we all slept in and relaxed this morning. Lynn made us all scrambled eggs, sausage, and French toast :) It was yummy.
Lynn, Lisa and I left at 11 am to get to the Atlantis submarine trip off of Lahina. It was cool. They took us out on a boat to the sub which was waiting off of the shoreline a bit. I do have to say they fit a bunch of bodies on one of those ships!!!!! We went down as low as 126 feet to the floor of the sea. They kept pointing out different fish, but it really depended on which side of the ship you were on if you could see what they were pointing out. There were apparently some eels (but I did not see them), some rays (I saw one), and lots of different schools of fish. It was interesting to see but hard to see out of the windows. I think I saw more wildlife snorkeling the last time I was here :)
We did see a couple of whales off in the distance breeching while we were waiting to load onto the sub. That was kind of cool.
After the submarine trip we stopped off and picked up our luau tickets. We do that on Wednesday night. We can walk from our hotel and it is an open bar :) Might have to indulge a little bit there. Then we had sandwiches for lunch before getting into our swimsuits and heading down to the ocean.
OK today the water was cold--I never thought I would say that, but wow did I have the goose pimples!!! Lynn and I swam around for a short time before going up to the pool, which was a great temp. After swimming a bit I got into the hot tub and then laid on a deck chair for a while.
We left for dinner about 5:30 pm and went to Whaler's Village http://www.whalersvillage.com/ and did a little shopping. We ate dinner at Leilani's beach bar http://www.leilanis.com/
If you ever make it there either save room for dessert or just go for dessert. The Hula pie was awesome and the rest of the table enjoyed the apple crisp. It was a great meal although we could have used a wheelbarrow to get back to the car :)
Tomorrow Lynn and Jake will be doing a zipline and I think, Lisa and I will be going to the winery and visiting the shops in Makawao. After they are done with the zipline we will visit the windsurfing beach and see a bit more of the island.
Here is hoping the water is warmer tomorrow!!!
Depending on how tomorrow goes, I might try to upload some pictures. We will see what happens :)
