Maui 2012: Our Arrival

"Maui no ka oi" is what locals say—it's the best, the most, the top of the heap. 


We have arrived once again in paradise and will call Kahana home for the next 9 days.

First Mai Tai at Lahaina Coolers

Since we arrived so early this year (landed at 11:07 am), we drove straight to Lahaina for our first cocktail at Lahaina Coolers and an awesome lunch (super fresh fish tacos).


Personalized welcome at the Valley Isle Resort


You realize you are an "adopted" local (or a lush) when the bartender (the awesome Rodrigo) recognizes you from your last visit and also remembers that it's been about a year since he last saw you.  We felt like Norm from Cheers! 


We then settled in at the Valley Isle and after our first sunset, we had our official "welcome to Maui" cocktails at Dollie's then took dinner home (they have great individual pizzas and a wonderful signature salad).  

Life is good!

Enjoy!
