Maui Day 6 Ulalena/Ruth's Chris




Another morning, another hour on the balcony. I'm going to miss sitting out here every morning, it sure beats getting ready for work. Erin wanted to spend a couple of hours on the beach this morning so we had breakfast and headed down around 8:45 or so. Ka'anapali is great in the morning. Our area is never busy enough that it would be a bother but if you get there in the morning you can have your own area for quite a while. We stayed till about 10:45 and went back to our room to get showered and ready for lunch. We were headed back to Front St for the afternoon. We first got our parking validated at Hilo Hattie's then over to meet Matt and Lindsay Tully for lunch at Kimo's, a little restaurant right on the wharf. We actually stayed back a bit because the surf would splash the first row of seats, that and the crabs walking around over there were fun to watch. Great food, Erin had the turkey club and I had the mahi-mahi fish and chips. It was a great time, I'm glad we both had some free time to get together. Matt and Lindsay had a coupon for a free hula pie with two meals so the four of us had a go at it. Not as good as Leilani's but still good, the four of us finished it off. We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways, didn't want to take up to much of the honeymooners time, they were spending the rest of the day in Lahaina and there is a lot to see. Before heading back to the hotel we wanted to find the Maui Myth and Magic center where our showing of 'Ulalena' would be tonight. That way we would not have to waste time looking for it before the show. It was right around the corner from Kimo's so we headed back to the hotel. We decided to get as much packing done as possible so we wouldn't have to worry about doing it on our last day and morning. It was nice but the feeling that the trip is ending is overwhelming. With all of that out of the way we headed to the theater to see 'Ulalena' a show about the history of Hawaiian culture, myths, and legends. It was good, not quite what Erin thought it would be but still good. The dancing and acrobatics were neat and they included the audiance a couple of times which was fun. After the show we walked over to Ruth's Chris steakhouse, this was a big deal to me as I have wanted to go for several years. It was everything I dreamed it would be. Since it was all prepayed for and you had a select menu I asked what the upcharge would be for the ribeye. $12.50, so I of course did it. It was the best meat I have ever had. Even though I was so full I felt like I was going to throw up, I finished every perfect bite. Erin had the pettite fillet, which she enjoyed. We both had the house salad and mashed potatoes, and for dessert Erin got the mango serbert, and I got bread pudding which we shared. All in all a great night but we were so full we could hardly walk. Last full day in Maui tomorrow, bittersweet.
