I don't think we will be tempted to book one in the future. Chairs are not bad. The view one way is nice. With the Large Balcony Room, is it the balcony or the room that's larger? Or just the price tag? 😁😉 Just kidding, the rooms are on the "bump" (at least, i think so) so you get a few extra inches of balcony to stretch your legs out. Ask the cabin attendant if they can get you a few loungers, I've asked in the past. Sometimes yes, sometime no. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went all over the island on field trips and a few of us into town just about every night. And we have also been back twice on cruises, so I am guessing they still use the same place. Kimo's in Lahaina is a favorite restaurant. The college group I was traveling with were Seventh Day Adventists from Seattle Pacific University. Although "wiki" said they were Free Methodists. (Think "Footloose, anyway) The instructors introduced me as the black sheep from California. 🙄 But I did find a couple of guy students who accompanied me on our visits to Lahaina and other jaunts. The drinking age was 18 at the time. I thoroughly enjoyed our time there. 😊 I have a friend who was a Professor at the University of Hawaii at Maui.Whenever we speak he tells me that life there is Paradise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought, that sounds good…then saw his posted picture. 🤮 Fried fish on raisin bread!!!! I don’t share some of you guys’ intense raisin aversion…but that was the most awful thing I’ve ever seen. I really feel I want to go brush my teeth… That is a Bermuda thing, Swizzle Inn has it on their menu too. I tried it and it is actually very good. 😄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't live on an island. Maui is gorgeous, but there is only one main road that goes everywhere on Maui! You can't just drive to other places, or other states. It is beautiful, but I couldn't do it. It is too confining. And I thought that back in college. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have time to post pics between post if my battery last and I don't fall asleep. I woke up around 2 or 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep. He just said we will 7pm. It is currently 8:30am. I don't think the guy ahead of us knew it was sooo long 😂 We drove to Haleakala and back today with a stop for lunch. Great trip. Where are you going to be tonight, we should try to meet up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
