The Mermaids..

Kaanapali, Hawaii, United States
This morning after breakfast we take a long walk again to The Whalers Village and have a coffee. There is a cookie shop that sells cookies shaped like small pineapples - a great tourist attraction - we purchase some to take home. 
Jane and I decide to go snorkelling today at a popular spot on the beach in front of the Resort. We get the kit from the resort and are set to go. Many tourists are entertained by our attempts to don snorkel and flippers, and then walk into the surf from the beach. I immediately fall as the first small wave knocks me off my feet, only to realise I am still wearing my watch (it does survive). Jane needs a bit more encouragement so I grab her by the hand and drag her under (or she would still be waiting to go in). After the entertainment, we find the fish are all quite striking, bright yellow fish, striped fish, polka dot fish and plenty of coral. It is a lovely just floating above and watching it all. After half an hour we are both a bit cool so head for shore and call it a day.
This afternoon Chris and I take the shuttle to the Outlet Mall and we get some shirts for Chris (Tommy Hilfiger and Gap) and a Coach handbag for me, I also get another pair of shorts. The prices are very reasonable with huge discounts, even after the conversion from $US to $AUD.
Tonight we head back to Lahaina to a restaurant called Fleetwoods, (owned by Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac band fame – but he’s not playing tonight). We sit outside and once again, quite protected from the wind enjoy a lovely dinner and a few drinks.
Finally, around 10, we wander back up the main street (Front Street) of Lahaina and somehow find ourselves back at the Outlet Mall (I know, I can hardly believe it myself). A quick raid on the Coach handbag store for us, then it’s back on the bus and home to sleep off another big day and night touristing in Maui.
