Today was the last day that we chilled with the SD Crew. It was also one of the few days that we slept in and finally adjusted to the Hawaii time. The day consisted of chill time, eating, private beach access, and more eating.
After sleeping in until 10ish AM Maui time (1ish PM West Coast Time) we met up with Sam and Jamie to grab some lunch at Sugar Cane Maui, a Lahaina cafe and bar overlooking the ocean. Meanwhile, Noel, Leslie & Leon were having a family day consisting of breakfast and a day at the Maui Ocean Center Both our friends just came back from a snorkeling trip and we decided to meet up at Sugar Cane minutes from the docking spot of the snorkeling excursion. Check out the food we ordered:
After grabbing lunch, we tried a local ice cream parlor favorite called Lappert's Ice Cream & Coffee, where we picked up a scoop of Kaui Pie (Kona coffee ice cream with chocolate fudge, and macadamia nuts) and Heavenly Hana (Creamy chocolate ice cream with delicate swirls of marshmallow ribboned throughout with our handmade chunks of white chocolate covered macadamia nuts, dark chocolate almond chunks, chocolate bits & roasted almonds).
While Noel and his family were still at the aquarium, the rest of the crew went back to our place, the Hono Koa, where we took advantage of the private beach access. Within minutes from our condo is a walkway to a beach that can only be accessed by guests at the Hono Koa. We had amazing views of 2 of the 8 Hawaiian Islands, Lanai and Molokai. Also, we were able to do some snorkling, body boarding and chilling on the sand. We then relaxed at the hot tub within our condo complex and then headed back to the room where we met up with Noel, Leslie and Leon.
Once we got cleaned up, we headed over to a conveyor belt sushi joint called Genki Sushi for our last meal together. We love sushi and this was the first time we've experience grabbing sushi dishes off of moving belts. The food was great and the company was awesome! Fun times with the SD Crew!
After dinner, we made one last trip to Foodland
