My favorite cupcake topping, a Louis Vuitton purse.

Macnut panko crusted Opah at Duke's Beach House

So Sunday in Maui was very laid back. Leodas was good the first time that we went back again for lunch and pies. Since we hadn't checked out the south part of the island we headed that way to check out Kihei and Wailea. Not much to report as we just checked out the stores in that area. For dinner we went to Duke's Beach House. I decided to try out some local fish called Opah. It was crusted with panko and maccadamia nuts. Delicious!!

Last day at Kaanapali Beach.

Those two black specs are whales!!

We're on a boat!!

Lahaina Harbour

Monday was our last day in Maui. I took one last walk on the beach before checking out of the hotel. Our flight didn't leave till 11:40pm so we booked a whale watching tour for the morning. Humpback whales are only in Hawaii from December to May to breed and have their calves. They spend the rest of their time in Alaska. The catamaran ride out wasn't too bumpy. It was a sunny hot day so I made sure to put on sunscreen! We had a great day seeing whales as there were tons out there. I can't even count the number I saw. We were out on the boat for about 2 hours before heading back to Lahaina. Once we docked we wandered around the town checking out the tourist souvenirs. Since the airport, Kahalui is 40mins away from Lahaina, we headed there around 4pm and headed to the mall. After some last minute shopping we headed to the airport way to early. The check-in counter opened at 8:40 but at 7pm you could see Canadians milling around the airport. By 8pm a line started to form. I guess everyone was excited to head home. Aloha Maui.
