May 18-19: Lahaina Maui

I watched the sunrise at the Makai Inn.

We drove north and stopped at 3 beaches.  The 1st beach had big turtles.

      Pohaku Park

 The 2nd was D T Fleming beach: good   

   for swimming.  The coarse sand 

    was not too pretty. 

We ate lunch on a bluff by a restaurant at Kapalua beach- very pretty snorkel and kayak beach.

We took the Atlantis submarine at 2pm, lots of blue ocean, the sunken Carthaginian ship and fish, moray eels,  and sharks.

       The Carthaginian.  An artificial reef.  We have old photos of it in the Lahaina harbor.

At 6 pm we went to the OId Lahaina Luau.  Good food, service and entertainment.  The show told the story of hawaiian myths and ended with Prince Kuhio, Princess Liliokulani and statehood.
