Thanks to both of you for mentioning Fabiani's! We'd planned on having noodles (I think called chow fun) at Blue Moon Cafe after our annual trek from Kaanapali to the outlet shop in Kihei. But they close between lunch and dinner and I remembered the talk of Fabiani's. I started with minestrone and had the fabulous meat lasagna and Cliff had chicken fettuccine. We had tiramisu and turtle cheesecake for dessert. Cliff took home a portion of his tiramisu so in order that he did not have to share that with me tomorrow, I made the supreme sacrifice and bought another turtle to go! Sorry Blue Moon, you have been permanently replaced with Fabiani's when we go to Kihei.

Yes, you have to Thank Luanne for that one. You and I were just smart enough to listen. :thumbup:

We’ll my wife kept her promise. She said she would drive in Hawaii when we owned a place there. Today she drove into Kaunakakai from WaveCrest. We went to Paddlers for dinner. It was excellent too. I had the fish and chips, the fish was Monchong and my wife had Galic Pork Belly Noodles. We had Pork Sliders and Paddler Fries for Pupu’s. The Paddler Fries were addicting.

The Mai Tai’s were great and they have Kona Brewing’s Big Wave on tap. :)

Here’s a video of Kepuhi Beach on the west side by the old ranch, Kepuhi Beach Resort and Ke Nani Kai, Paniolo Hale is nearby also.

Before we went to the West side we stopped in Kaunakakai and went to Dave’s Hawaiian Ice Cream. Really good and we stopped again after Dinner at Paddlers and brought a couple of pints back home

Our favorite sounds too, Slip.

We listened to them all morning when the misting rain came through and I took the pictures of the rainbow. Very relaxing.

Just when we got to Ke Nani Kai the turkeys went around by the trees scratching for bugs.

We’ll today my wife is going to the acupuncture lady here. She’s trying to find some relief for her hip. Then we have to grab a few things at the grocery.

My property manager sent over a guy to measure the lanai door and the window to the side of the door. They are placing an order so we are able to add ours on to that. We decided to go ahead and change out the windows in the bedroom too. We’ll just get it all done at once. All these are original. They are still functional but are showing their age.

We have plantation shutters in the bedroom that my wife loves so she was happy to hear they can stay with the new windows.

My wife did decide on a sofa so she just has to decide on a chair. Those are the big hitter items we knew we would do. They are all cheaper than I though so we
decided to just go ahead with them. The rest will be small things we’ll get done.

Always great when the items get checked off the list & at a lesser price than expected, even better! I'm thinking that doesn't happen in Hawaii all that often.

I must admit, everything we are looking at has been much cheaper than I thought. The sofa is about the same as I would expect at home. Windows are a little more than home but still less than I thought. Not to mention it’s nice that two sets of windows and I’ve replaced all the windows.:)

Acupuncture went well. My wife feels a difference and I can see it in her walking. She noticed it right away. She also gave her some things that she can do to help.

Ack to the drawing board on the sofa. We went to order the one we want and they can’t get it without a chaise on one side. So we’re still looking.

Made a friend in one of the shops. He even gave me some venison from the island. Cooking that tomorrow. He gave us a lot of tips and help about the island.

My wife still feels better after the acupuncture, so that is good. We even took a walk around the A building at the resort. Still a little cloudy this morning but no rain. The drainage creek behind the resort is empty now. We had to forage some water in that dip in the road that I mentioned in my other thread. It was pretty deep and we only have this Yaris but we made it through with no issues. We’ll definitely want a small truck or SUV for an island vehicle though. Here’s a picture just before our walk and a few from around the resort.

Things seem to be coming along nicely, Jeff. That has to feel pretty good, after all your hard work. Good for you both!

Yes, we have gotten a lot done without making it seem like we were working and we made some friends. We still had plenty of time to relax. We leave tomorrow but we’ll be back for two weeks in 92 days!!:thumbup:

Jeff, thanks for all the great pictures and videos of your place and Molokai. I hope to make it to Maui this summer and you have inspired me to try to make it across to Molokai too. Have a great weekend and enjoy your time there. Al

Battery ran out so no pictures of the aunties. I should have grabbed my wife’s phone. She did take some pictures of her first Molokai Hot Bread Run at Kanemitsu Bakery. Good stuff!! One strawberry cream cheese and one the works.

Awesome, it’s worth the trip. I think people can fill a week here if they pace themselves and go slow. More than enough to do for a day trip or a weekend. Let us know how it goes. :thumbup:
