Sins, Contrition, and recomendations

My sins on Maui are many. I ate more or less whatever I wanted, and drank beer whenever I wanted, mostly daily. I didn't have any wine, refer, or whiskey. To my credit I did a lot of walking on the Island of Maui. I logged a good 4 miles or more each day.

Now that I've done my confession my act of contrition will be to get back to the program, low fat, lots of exercise. It's that simple, hard work. I've got 5 weeks before my next weight in, and our vacation was a little bit of a set back. Alas, I fully admitted there would be set backs when I started this. I have been honest if nothing else.

Here are some restaurant picks that Geri and I suggest if you're in Maui. They are all in Lahaina. Since we had a kitchen at our motel we were able to feed ourselves there and save some money. Why get a room with a kitchen if you're not going to use it?

Outrigger Pizza on the corner of Lahaina Luna Rd. and Wainee in downtown Lahaina, Maui, Thursday night between 5 and 9 PM. The Pesto, garlic and 3 cheese pie was as good as it gets.

MaLa Tavern, 1307 Front Street, Lahaina, Maui  808 667-9394 make reservations for dinner. The best food I had on the Island, or just about anywhere for that matter. Great margaritas and well drinks, extensive wine list, expensive, loud, great service, and loads of fun. Try the great big Greek salad, the Kobe beef burger, the calamari, ahi burger, the fries, it's all good. Sitting at the bar is really fun.

Cafe Cafe 129 Lahaina Luna Rd. Lahaina, Maui. The caps and lattes are wonderful. Geri had rave reviews for the oatmeal, and I loved the steamed scrambled eggs and ham. You can rent a Vespa here also.

Penne Pasta Cafe on 180 Dickenson St. was decent food at a decent price if you have to have some pasta, and sometimes you do.

Those are our picks that I am sure you cannot go wrong with if you are in Lahaina.

I did have a story about Fleetwood's Restaurant in downtown Lahaina so here it is. We went there and sat up stairs. The waitress forgot we were even there, but we just hung around and watched the whales out in the Pacific. When she finally asked if we had been waited on we said, "No." She replied, "You're kidding? We said, "No we're not." and we finally got some service. This took a good 15 minutes and they were not slammed at the time. She was nice, but the beer was an ounce and a half shy of a pint, the $14.00 margarita Geri ordered was watered down, and the complimentary tacos that come with happy hour drinks, well, just skip them, and save yourself and your money for a good meal somewhere else.

Sorry Mick. Love the music, especially the stuff with the Green god, and I truly mean that. In the 60's you guys ruled the British scene. Best of the guitar players, with the possible exception of Jeff Beck.

It's is a hell of a nice tax write-off you got there with one of the best views in town, but I wouldn't risk my hard earned money on a dinner at your place, based on the preview we had that afternoon. Maybe it was just an off day. I wish I could get in that kitchen.
