Here comes the wind . . . Trade Winds

Monday, Nov. 5th - Ray heard the call of the cinnamon rolls early this morning. He and Jane stood in line at Cinnamon Roll Fair for a good twenty minutes for freshly baked rolls. I have to warn the readers of this blog that one can inhale their tempting aroma throughout the parking lot and, sometimes, down a block or two in every direction of So. Kihei Road.


“The Herd,” the people from upstairs, is off at the crack of 9am to march their way up and down the coastline of Wailea. It’s no light-hearted undertaking and I am ashamed to say I did not join them. I’d really have to get into shape to join them. Someday . . . maybe.

Jane and Ray head back out to the shore. This time it’s Turtle Town near Makena Landing Beach Park.  Alas they only saw two turtles. They returned to Ulua Beach since the first trip had been so successful, but the water was choppy and vis was poor.

Since the water was choppy . . . that meant the Trade Winds had returned. I cannot wait until tomorrow to see the clear sky and the many blues of the ocean.






Dinner tonight: Humuhumukunukuapua’a located at the Grand Wailea Resort. 

I have been wanting to dine here for the last few years. Making reservations using Open Table makes life for us much easier. They do not participate, which is why it has taken us so long to get there.

Humuhumu was a very cool place. The restaurant was under thatched huts and surrounded by water filled with ocean fish. Inside there was a lagoon where diners could choose their own Hawaiian spiny lobster companion for dinner.


We chose selections off the Prix Fixe menu. Yes, yes . . . I would dine here again.
