Maui News - Tidbits Expedition Ferry has just begun providing two daily round trips from Ma'alaea Harbor to Manele Harbor in Lanai. Day trips or weekenders on Lanai are fun as can be (good golfing, excellent snorkeling in the marine preserve where dolphins are often leaping and playing). However, those of us over here had to drive to Lahaina, poke around for a parking place, lot of extra effort in crowded Lahaina Town. First trip from Maalaea departs at 7 AM and arrives on Lahai at 8:30. The ferry heads back for Maalaea at 9:00 AM, arriving on this side at 10:30 AM. The afternoon trip departs from Maalaea at 3:30 PM, arriving at Manele at 5. Return trip to Manele leaves Lanai at 5:30, back here an Maalaea by 7 PM. The ferry ride from Lahaina to Lanai is 45 minutes, so this is a longer boat trip. Shoud be some great whale watching and sunsets coming back. For more information, visit www.go-lanai.com
- Outdoor Polo games are at Olinda Field every Sunday at 1:00 commencing September 1st. Very exciting (I prefer the Polo matches to the annual rodeo). It is right across from the entrance to Seabury Hall. It is so beautiful up there. Great shopping in Makawao (and farther down in Paia), hot Mexican food at Poli's in Makawao, and hikes at the top of Olinda Road, public welcomed (no kapu signs). - Flatbreads in Paia is a fairly new, excellent organic fare restaurant. Pizza to die for. Great salads. (Watch out, might now be appropriate for everyone: lots of beautiful young servers in skimpy tee-shirts. - Roy's Restaurant - Latest word on the street is that it may have changed a bit. Much smaller wine list, limited salad selection, smaller entrée menu. Soufflé still great. - Kahili Golf Course (used to be Sandlewood) is in GREAT shape. Challenging, great fairways and greens. Off Honoapiilani Hwy on way to Wailuku. - Kapalua - Village Golf Course is temporarily closed, may (or now - may not) be converted to private course. Note: Kapalua Golf Academy is still at the Village Clubhouse and the best golf instructor in the world - Jerry King - is still there. - Sansei in Kihei - still great selections - food and liquor.
