Old Lahaina Luau

When I called to reserve our table at Old Lahaina Luau months in advance, I was told it was already full for the night we would be there.  I was put on a waiting list, and before long, someone cancelled their reservation and we were able to get a table.  It is billed as the only authentic luau on the island, where a whole pig is cooked in the ground.  It was a beautiful place. There was entertainment before and after our meal. Pictured above are poi and sweet potato chips.  Pretty, but not very tasty to me. We served ourselves in a buffet line, and I wanted to try a little of everything.  There were several buffets set up, and we didn't have to wait. The meal and entertainment lasted about three hours, and I enjoyed every minute of it.  Don't miss this if you go to Maui.

The Grand Canyon of the Pacific (Kauai, Hawaii)

Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands.  The wind and water have had time to carve a masterpiece in this canyon. This is part of the Waimea Canyon State Park. The day we were there, we went from bright sunshine to clouds and fog, then sunshine again.   Helicopter tours are a popular way of seeing the canyon. It is not uncommon to see several in the air at the same time here. It is not as deep or long as the Grand Canyon in Arizona, but it is art from the Creator.  Seeing it will make you humble; it will make you thankful.
