Day 2 - A little snorkeling, shopping, and of course and Irish Bar!

As you know, we went snorkeling yesterday, which was really fun. I don't have the snorkeling pics yet (they were taken w a underwater camera), but here is a pic of where we snorkeled. SO BEAUTIFUL!!! We decided this morning that it was a good idea that we did that yesterday because last night a tourist was EATEN by a great white shark just off the shore in Oahu.....we were definitely out farther than the tourist was when he got eaten!!!! Needless to say, I think Cher's one and only snorkeling adventure was here in Maui. Dale also found this article this afternoon. This happened in the same place we were snorkeling yesterday! FREAKY!!! STILL HAD FUN AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN!!!!






Late afternoon we did a little shopping at the Wailea shops and then decided to visit the local bar here in Wailea...mostly full of locals. Believe it or not, they had a live Irish band playing. Go figure - Jeff and I always seem to find the Irish bars wherever we go! So for those of you who know Jeff...he was extremely happy sipping (or downing) his Guiness!

We are off to the Old Lahaina Luau tonight. It is a traditional Luau and feast. It was founded in 1986 and almost failed until a group of young investors came in and saved it. Today it is the most famous Luau in Maui and has been internationally awarded as the "thing to do" in Maui. The Luau sits over 440 people and generally runs at full capacity 7 days a week. No longer do the owners need to worry about the stability of this business! We are so excited for this. We will upload pictures either tonight or tomorrow!

Last, but not least, the flowers that grow wild here are SO AWESOME! Cher was already trying to figure out how to get them shipped to her house weekly! Here is a pic of a flower that was just growing randomly on the street last night.
