maui day 3: revisited

I love the simplicity here--no pomp, no circumstance, no malls (well not like LA anyway), and a lot of times no rhyme or reason (but it works!).

We started our morning off with an early check-in at Trilogy in Ka'anapali for a catamaran and snorkeling tour. What an amazing day! The Trilogy crew handed out breakfast on the way to Honolua Bay, and barbecued lunch right on the boat for everyone.  They are one of the only snorkeling tours that sails the whole way back. It takes a bit longer, but there's definitely no need to rush.

I am now obsessed with sea turtles after coming face to face with one while snorkeling. He was magnificent! The sea sirens must have sent him, knowing I was nearby ;)

We made an early night of it, and went to happy hour at Kimo's on the water in Lahaina--enjoyed the catch of the day and a mai tai (or two). Down the street we met Mani, who carved us a tiki guy with a turtle on his head in honor of seeing our first Honu today. I see many more sea carvings from Mani decorating our house each year.

must end with a gorgeous maui sunset

Random sound of the day: Rooster crowing on the beach while we were snorkeling
