After taking a scenic route up above Kahalui, we headed to the Maui Aquarium. I always remember seeing the aquarium on my way from the airport to Kaanapali but I never stopped there. In So Cal, Long Beach has a great aquarium and Monterrey is renown for their aquarium. I was curious to see how Maui’s aquarium stacked up. I was impressed.
Besides the coral reef and Jellyfish exhibits (which I love) they had a 3d experience about hump back whales. I was very impressed by that. It felt like they were right in front of us. They also had an exhibit with the sea turtles. I cannot remember seeing sea turtles at other aquariums! All three of us really enjoyed the aquarium.
On the way home, we stopped at Leoda’s Pie shop. Sophon and I had been there before, it is out in the middle of nowhere. The last time we went, we ubered it there and after we had lunch (and pie) we went to get an uber back, and there was no cell phone signal. We kept walking around the parking lot trying to get a signal, finally we did. After making our purchases, we headed to an area next door that sold Hawaiian products. I bought some hot sauce that I was familiar with.
When we got back, Sophon and I checked into the Westin Nanea. We didn’t have a beach view but we had a view of the mountains which, quite frankly is just as nice.
That night we wen to Monkeypod for dinner which is located in the Whalers village. As I stood in line to put our name down, the guy behind me asked if I was staying at the Westin Kaanapali, I recognized him, he was staying in the villa next door, we share a foyer. As we left this morning, he was coming in and had his hands full, I help him hold open his door as he walked into his villa.
