Whale "blows"

Yep, we sat out on our lanai this am and watched many whale blows (surfacing Humpbacks spouting air & water into the air at 200mph), but no breaches or flukes. It was exciting to watch them however, as you never knew when one might pop up. Then down to the local market to purchase some lovely Hawaiian flowers for our room and some for The Spears room too.. 20 bucks for two great bouquets! On to Kahauli so KK could shop at the scrappin' store.."Island Paperie." A really great lunch at Marcos Italian Grill..I had the Vodka Rigatoni & KK had the Shitake Chicken--WOW! Back thru Lahaina & viewing some new shops down by the Lahaina Shores Hotel & great beach views. To our room to get the snorkeling stuff and head to Kapalua Bay and some late afternoon turtle & fish viewing. The coral was also good this pm & we saw at least 5 sea turtles (honus) & one who had just nested and laid some eggs on the beach! Quite a bit of excitment at this lovely beach. Back to the room to clean up, watch the sunset & wait for the Spears to arrive from Atlanta. They got in about 9:15 and we head over to Dollies for a drink and some snacks. It was great to see them! It's been at least 10 years since we've seen them, and we talked and drank & talked and ate, before heading back about 11:00..5 am for them. Some serious snorkeling tomorrow...Aloha!
