We started the day early again, and with pancakes. Our friends Sean and Kerry arrived last night and we had surf lessons early in the morning so I made pancakes for the group of us before our lesson. Surfing was good, totally want to go back. Our instructor was not great, a guy from Big Kahuna in Kihei. He was pretty gruff, and a little quiet. He cracked a couple jokes while on land, and gave good instruction there, but when we got into the water, his best instruction was “paddle!!” Which was ok, since I think a big part of the sport is knowing when to take a wave and when not to. But there was another instructor nearby who was giving regular instruction, so I had something to compare him against, and unfavorably. No photos today, unfortunately. After surfing we went to a great little restaurant called Three’s Bar and Grill. Tasty burger and tastier friends with a tasty lava flow. That’s a pina colada with strawberries in it. 😀 I’ve decided not to foodblog this time, because after eating here a bit, the food is primarily US food, with a few exceptions. The nice part – this saves me from having to deal with photos of food. 😛 After lunch we went to Costco – apparently S&K have a thing for international Costcos and after a morning of surf workout, this was ok by me. I bought a rolling duffel bag…because getting my scuba duffel to the airport last Friday was back breaking work. I almost bought a new bag on Friday, but couldn’t find the time for it. Glad I didn’t – great Costco deal on a new bag. Now it’s about 5:30, and we’re planning to bake a pizza and eat a bbq chicken, play some board games and drink some rum. Followed by diving early in the morning, so hopefully I’ll have some more awesome underwater photos for tomorrow!
