Maui Day 5

We were left to our own in Maui the next day. I was given the keys to the second car. I'll add that I was a bit apprehensive. This was the first time driving on the right side of the road in two whole years! But all was okay. It felt just fine. I did hit the wipers a couple times (wipers and turn signal swapped with different side drivers). We stopped by random beaches on the way to Kihei. This was really nice. More of the typical Hawaii. Less people, quiet clean beaches. So nice.




We got lunch from a place called 808 cafe. They had a nice assortment of sandwiches and paninis and even hots dogs. I think they're supposed to be the best sandwiches on Maui or something. It was pretty good. What was even more awesome was because the cafe was so packed, we took our lunch literally across the street and sat on some park benches and ate lunch looking over the ocean. Sweet...

Twix pudding. Tasty. It's like warm ice cream.




We were treated to dinner at a Filipino restaurant, which I confess I had never been to one before. It was good food, but most importantly good company. We tried a lot of different desserts... yumm... including this creamy shaved ice thing with coconut pudding ice cream (it was realllly goood),  chocolate cake thing with mochi ice cream, and fried banana. After dinner, we were rushed over to the airport, which was really close. Fought through a packed line to get through security, and ran towards the gate. We were the last to board the plane and made it there with 3-4 minutes to spare. The flight attendants at the gate greeted us as if they expected us. It was the closest I have ever been to missing a flight, but everything was okay in the end.
