This ones a LuLu

Get the peanut butter and breadfruit sandwich.  It's as good as the one mamatiki used to make it.

So, Roseann and I are sitting in a second-story Tiki bar in Kihei, trying to catch up on our writing for the blog.  This is a place called LuLu’s, which is as cute as a Tiki bar in a strip mall can be.  There is a weird-ass waterslide out back where kids are practicing surfing maneuvers, a Starbucks to the north as well as to south of us and a crazy guy running through traffic (par for the course in Kihei).  Behind the crazy guy is a swath of ocean as blue as one can imagine. 

It is late in the day and so the surfers, swimmers and snorkelers are at a minimum.  Personally, we have done a lot of snorkeling and that will be the topic of another blog post.  Roseann and I were going through a list of pluses and minuses of what we like and what we’re a bit eh on when it comes to Maui; once again, fine readers (reader?), that is a post to come.  Roseann cannot work on the pluses and minuses post this moment, because she is trying to scale the wall at LuLu’s and remove the literally hundreds of dollar bills taped up there.  At the same time, she’s swearing about Northwestern defeating Iowa in football.  The other two bar patrons are politely ignoring her (one who looks a bit like Elvis).  Maui has been more expensive than we expected.

This is an interstitial post, before we get back to the main storyline.  We want you all wondering what’s coming next!  In our case, what’s coming next in Kauai; we leave for there tomorrow morning – we are already packed and bags we did not need any more are on a slow boat back to Chicago (and yes, that’s another post!).

LuLu’s has a puffer fish hanging from the ceiling, a 7 foot tiki doll of Elvis, and for some reason, a sign by the bathrooms reading ‘Wrigley Field, This Exit’ – I don’t know why.  Roseann is back at the table now clutching a bunch of singles and we are drinking Mai Tais; tonight we will have half-price sushi at 10PM at a place called Sensei that the locals swear by.  So, that’s the update! 

Oh, one last thing.  We got married on Wednesday on a small beach in South Maui.  It was a sunset wedding and we have plenty of pictures, but once again, that’s another blog post.
