Sunset at the Club









Ahh, finally a day of just chillin at the beach. We hit the beach about ten am. The waves were pretty intense due to some wind that picked up. After getting thrashed by the waves one too many times, we headed in.

We went shopping at an odd little strip mall. One part must have been a big grocery store, so they put in plywood and screen walls to create a bunch of small spaces. And no, they didn't paint it or anything, just bare plywood walls...

We found some cool stuff here. Some nice souvenirs and odds and ends..

After that, we had to go back to the room and drop things off since the car has no roof..

We then ventured up to Makaha Resort, which is five minutes drive up the mountains from here. It was really beautiful. We went into the lounge, found a great table outside on the deck, overlooking the golf course, with Ocean and Mountains in the distant view.

I saw something on the menu I have never seen before and knew I had to try. Ahi and Dungeness Crab Nachos.. It was strangely good... raw chunks of Ahi, fresh crab, cheese, jalapenos, and mango on a bed of chips.

We also orders a sampler plate. It came with Grilled shrimp, Calamari, chicken wings, two types of ribs, edemame, Onion rings and Jalapeno poppers.Yum, most of it came back to the condo with us..

While watching the sun set, we met a nice lady celebrating her sweet 16 birthday. She asked if I would take her picture and email it to her. I also posted it here... Happy Sweet 16 Diane from Vegas..


Finishing off dinner with a Mai Tai. We went back to the condo full and happy.
