And what is that you ask? It's the neat little bar & restaurant at the Sands of Kahana, where we had a farewell breakie on Tuesday morning..the 3.99 special! Eggs & roasted potatoes for me & just pineapple & an English muffin for KK. Checkout time for us is noon, so I go by to get a late checkout and I'm told the road to the airport is closed due to a massive grass fire..since 1:30 am. So we may have to go around the the north side, which takes 3 hours. So we decide to go to Honolua to snorkel & maybe by then the road will be open. The Bay is pretty crowded but big enough for all and we go out for a long swim thru the coral reefs and by the time we finish, there are 3 catamarans tied up. We do see a lot of fish, but not like yesterday...the wind is up & big waves are churning up the area. We visit with a few couples & head back to the car. Back to the condo & sure enough, the road is open! Finish packing, shower & check out. The road is fine, not much traffic, but lots of fire-trucks still working & a helicopter dropping water on hot spots. Down to the Wailea area & have lunch at "Cheeseburger, Island Style". A great burger & a good cold draft Kona brew. Off to see BIG Beach, Makena & a long drive thru the last lava flow on Maui (1790) more beaches and a wildlife refuge area. One more stop at Wally & then to the airport, return the car & suffer thru checking in at the United counter..a nightmare! (So much for the "EZ check-in.")
