On our first weekend on Maui, we decided to hit the trail up to the mountains, and pick up where we left off in our last stay here. It was a glorious day, with beautiful sunshine, and cool breeze, the perfect conditions to be on the trail.
Our original plan was to hit the the Lahaina Pali Trail, but we ended up getting on a different unnamed trail straight up the mountain. What amazing views!
Unfortunately, the camera's batteries failed me after a few photos. We did manage, however, to take an aerial photo of one of the holes of Kahili Golf Course.( If I ask Bill, he would be glad to tell me all about that hole, but I'll leave that for later.)
After our hike, we headed back home and sat in the Jacuzzi for a while, as the pool and ocean were a little cool for me.( I don't dare to say cold after living in Spokane for half the winter).
We had plans to meet some friends for dinner at Fred's in Kihei. It was a farewell dinner for G, another traveler med tech, who frequents Maui . We have always loved Fred's. It is now our favorite Mexican place on the Island, since Manana Garage has closed.
And while waiting for our table and our group to assemble, I took a photo of another magical sunset on Maui.
The atmosphere and food at Fred's are always great, I ordered Passion Fruit Margarita( very good) and split chicken fajitas with Bill. The fajitas were devoured before I even got a chance to think about taking a photo. They were sizzling delicious!
Another great day in Paradise, and we are planning on taking our original hike on Tuesday.

Candi, that's funny, our condo was right next door to Fred's a few years back. We had some great nights there and they even gave us a big sombrero! Thanks for the great posts from your new home.

We spent a week in Kihei once upon a lifetime ago; I can see in your photos many reasons to go back.

Wow-- beautiful photos. I haven't been to Hawaii since I was 12 years old. Now I feel I'm really missing something.

Candi-Great photos. The views are beautiful. We'll have to try Fred's while we're on the island. The drink looks really good.

Candi, I'm glad to see that you've arrived safely in Hawaii and your new home.
Your photos are so beautiful -- I haven't been to Hawaii but I can see that's going to have to change!
