More Paradise Hawaii 2009

When we were in Hawaii almost ten years ago, we ate at this great restaurant in Napili Bay, the sunset was amazing, the food delicious, and the atmosphere just unforgettable. So much so, that Brian and I really wanted to go back! It made that kind of impression on us.

Well when I called to make the reservations, I expressed our desire to sit where we could see the sunset and tried to dial in a time she could fit us in. She mentioned something about the early birds and getting us a window seat after they had left ....and I remember thinking it was a weird thing to say. The picture below was from when we first arrived. After the picture, we were promptly seated in a great spot. Got situated and looked around, only to realize, we were BY FAR the younest ones there!!! The early bird comment all made sense. It was like we had stepped out of a restaraunt out of the 1950's!! All the blue hairs (no offense) in their dinner jackets and nice dresses. Brian and I were dying! We finished eating around 8:30.... and needless to say, we closed the place down! We had a pretty good laugh over it all. The food was still amazing as was the view.


Sunset in Napili Bay




Brian and I after our dinner at Napili Bay. A candid photo that Brian took... But I think it turned out pretty good. Me in that white sweatshirt. It was the only one I brought! I didn't think I would need any....but to my surprise it did get pretty chilly at night.

Sunset in front of our Hotel on Maui

Driving up the coast with the Shumways. We stopped to find a Geocache by one of the light beacons.

My toes (red toes are happy toes), my view at the pool.

This is one of my favorite pictures from the whole trip. This was on our last full day there. We layed by the pool for seven hours. It was amazing.
