No car today. Sunny morning. Nice breakfast again at the hotel restaurant. Then we settled in to our reserved lounge chairs and umbrella on the beach. The beach is actually public and anyone can and does go there, but our little area is just for Royal Hawaiian guests. We both went in swimming. (Can’t remember the last time we did that.) Nice surf. Shifting sands underneath and tough to walk. I actually had to be helped up out of the water. (No video of that. Sorry. Sigh, getting old sucks.) We sat under our umbrella for a few hours including during a brief passing shower. Then we had a drink at the Mai Tai bar before venturing off hotel property looking for lunch. Recognize that shadow? Recognize those legs?
For lunch we chose the Maui Brewing Company. It’s upstairs in a shopping mall but it’s open air. We both had delicious fish tacos with a side of guacamole & chips and local amber ale. I suspect that there will be no dinner tonight as we were both stuffed. So do you think “do not feed the birds for health reasons” is for the health of the customers or health of the birds? The two pigeons look very comfortable at their table.
There is nothing else to report. As expected, no dinner tonight. We are finishing a bottle of wine on our balcony before retiring for the night. Tomorrow morning it’s off to the airport for our 2:20 pm flight to Phoenix on Hawaiian Airlines that arrives at PHX at 11:05 pm.
It’s been a great trip in almost every respect. Calm seas. Good weather. Great food. Meeting new people. But it will be good to get home and start to lose weight and rest up.
Thanks for reading and for all the comments. See you next trip!
The Pink Royal Hawaiian is a classic!
I, too, am sorry to see the trip come to an end. We learn from each other and you have a couple of years ahead of us in the travel arena. Thank you for letting us join you on your adventures. Welcome home.
ALOHA! Thanks for taking us along!
Safe trip home and thanks for sharing such great highlightsđź©·
I can’t believe you actually went in swimming and are those your feet with sand between your toes!! Since the birds actually have their own table, I guess they would just order up whatever they want.
It certainly was a great trip. Like Jan and Barb wrote, thank you for sharing it with all of us. Have a safe trip home. Aloha.
