Day 1 and 2 - Napili, Kapalua and Kahekili Beaches

We arrived on Maui and picked up our car from Alamo. They were out of what we reserved (compacts) so they told us to pick out a full size for no extra charge. We got a Malibu. I took pictures of the few dings and scratches which the kids found for me.

The first place we stopped was Annie's Island Shaved Ice in Lahaina. Oh so good!
After getting to our condo at Napili Bay resort, we unpacked a bit and then hit Napili beach for a bit of swimming and sand...
We ate at Star Noodle in Lahaina. Neil had the mango pudding for dessert...
Morning in the condo...
The kids ate breakfast on the lanai...
The owner of the condo unit supplied us with flowers and bananas...
Neil took this picture  of a bird on Napili beach as we were walking to Kapalua beach...

Both kids played in the sand and did some snorkeling...
We had a late lunch at Ono Kau Kau Mix Plate.  I had the mixed place and Nyleen had saimin...
Neil had musubi...
We hung at Kahekili Beach for a few hours. We saw a small turtle, an octopus and some sting rays that seemed to be doing some sort of mating or fighting...

We ate dinner at Da Kitchen at the Wharf. Nyleen had saimin for the 3rd straight restaurant meal. Neil had the fish tempura and I had an ahi salad.
