Saturday September 27, 2014 Lahaina, Maui,

View from our table at the AMP Restaurant

 Like most days we started with our coffee.  We caught up on computer stuff while drinking coffee and listening to the surf through the sliding door,

At 11 we headed for downtown Lahaina to attend a timeshare presentation for Club Wyndham.  We committed to the presentation to get $200 discounted from our trip to Molokai last Wednesday.  Getting this discount cut the average price of the caches I found there.  Since we already have too many timeshares, we resisted the sales pitch.

Panning slowly south

After the presentation we went north on front street toward Kaanapali and our place at the Papakea Resort.  Gerri spotted an interesting restaurant.  A quick u-turn and we arrived at the Aloha Mixed Plate Restaurant, AMP for short.

We were seated at a table for two next to the walk along the ocean.  We had a great view of part of the Lahaina harbor, including an old dock.  We could see both Lanai and Molokai. Both islands were shrouded in clouds.  This appears to be the norm. http://www.alohamixedplate.com/  Except for the setting this restaurant had a menu like the Kualapu'u Cookhouse where we ate Wednesday on Molokai. Both places have excellent food.   http://www.yelp.com/biz/kualapuu-cookhouse-kualapuu

Just a little further south

After eating we returned to the Papakea.  On the way Gerri took me to the Cannery Shopping center to try to find a geocache near the Safeway store.  I didn't find the cache.  The last three cachers had logged DNFs.  One saying that they found the magnet that should have been holding the container onto the metal where the cache was hidden.

I left Gerri at out unit and went geocaching while Gerri played on the computer and relaxed.  I found two caches and looked in vain for a third. One thing I have noted here on Maui is that the people who placed geocaches pay very little attention to maintaining or checking on them when they are logged several times as DNFed.  When I logged my finds, I also put notations that they need to be archived and another needs maintenance,  Here on Maui my find to did not find is about 50/50, I did better on Molokai,

The AMP menu

The heavy clouds pretty much blotted out the sunset for this evening.  We watched TV and read.  Since we had a late lunch we only snacked for dinner.  We were in bed by 11.
