The final full day in Hawaii... so much more to do, but time is up.

We went up to the resort for the sunday brunch buffet. It was pretty disorganized, I wouldn't come back to the buffet, but we managed to fill up.

After that, we snorkeled out in front of the condo and spotted a turtle. we swam with it for a half an hour or so. There was a ton of beautiful fish around as well. We saw a good size Ahi, that I am sure the fishermen on the beach would have loved to hook. Swimming with the Turtle is the highlight of the trip. That was just the coolest thing ever!

Later that day we drove to Barbers Point, on the far southern west coast side. You drive through an industrial area to get there. We noticed the beautiful tree lined drive through fuel docs, scrap yards and other various maritime industrial businesses.

The park was small. We saw a few people diving from the beach. The beach was pretty rocky, not good swimming. I saw a lighthouse down the beach, so we walked out to it. We passed by a big building area with tables on the beach. Germaines Luau, that explains the tree lined drive...

On the way home we stopped at a restaurant we had not tried yet in Maili. Beaches was the name and they had a second floor outdoor deck. We went in, past the bar, past the two pool tables, to the deck. It was basically a smoking deck, but they had some tables out there. We had a Mai Tai on the deck in the sun, then went on to sit at a window table inside.

I saw a pull tab machine, I haven't gambled in a long time.. So I decided to thro $5 in to it and get 5 tickets. There were 4 columns of tickets to choose from. I chose 3 in honor Glenn. the first ticket I opened was a $100 winner. Thanks for the luck Glenn.

I spent the most all the money at the bar, bought some locals who had probably poured hundreds into that machine, a round of beer. We ordered lumpia, grilled shrimp, and calamari and it was the best food we had the whole trip... dang. .we just found the Longs drugs and now Beaches and its time to go.

We managed to get back to the condo and went for a pre sunset swim. Then we watched the sunset one last time. Following a new Peterson tradition for the last night of a vacation, we went for a night swim.
