Longhi's - (Lahaina and Wailea) - good for lunch or breakfast. They have a huge cinnamon roll in the morning. Been an island staple for many many years.

Moose McGillicutty's -(Lahaina) - great for cheap breakfast. You can usually pick up two for one breakfast coupons in the shops around.

Zuihao's (Lahaina) - Good Chinese type food. Kind of upscale like a PF Changs.

If you happen to dock around Wailea instead of the Ka'anapali area, there is a Roy's at Kihei down there, as well as the one in Kahana.

We ate at some other places like the Rusty Harpoon, but they all just sort of start to blend together. Nothing else that really stands out in my mind.

I forgot the name of our Luau, but it is the only one on the island that has entertainment from four different cultures so it's very interesting. The Poi is NASTY!!! But you have to eat a little because it's their cultural staple. You do get to see a sunset over the ocean while you're eating outside, so it's very romantic. If you want to take time to sit through a timeshare, you can usually get one or two free luau tickets and they are quite expensive.

We went out on a huge sailboat called the Trilogy that goes to a little island of Lanai'i. There is tons of food and drinks of all sorts on the boat and the crew is hilarious. It was a really nice day trip!

Be sure to get your picture made at the banyan tree in Lahaina at the oceanside park. The tree spreads out over like an entire block. It's massive!

I love Ka'anapali Beach the best, even though it's probably the more crowded one. There is a big cliff that people dive off of up by the Sheraton at the north end. We didn't dive, but others did!! That's the beach where the Marriott, Westin, etc. are located.

Ok, now I'm really wanting to go back!

Thanks Sherri!! I will print all of these notes out and take them with us!!!


2 weeks to go!!! Woo Hoo!!!
