Maui: Day 2, The Maui Ocean Center
Spent the morning deliberating about what to do and where to go to eat. We left the condo with an idea of going to a place near by, but we couldn’t remember it’s name and ended up driving about for 30 minutes. Eventually we drove to Kihei and found a place to eat. Got some groceries while there and then I misdirected us back home by heading to Kahului (the exit that would of taken us straight to Ma’alaea was closed for construction… and there wasn’t the usual U-turn lane every 2 miles.
Went to the Maui Ocean Center and saw many marvelous fish and related sea animals. I took over a 100 photo’s, so check out the flicker link. Did some shopping there and at the mall close by. After that my mother and I went snorkeling a on a near by beach.
Went for dinner at a near by restaurant. Had some very good butter fish that’s caught locally. A nearby patron passed out due to heat stroke while holding a small child. Caused quite the commotion, but my mother was there to save the day by applying basic CPR (aka, she’s not dead, settle down and give her room). Also, a note for those with children, you should not say the following “She’s dead!”. It kinda upsets them and probably traumatizes them for life.
