Maui Day 7 Tuesday

Tuesday was a recovery day from Hana for our group and a work day for me. We had an important USDA report out at 7:30 CST, so 3:30 in Hawaii. I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and tiptoed out of the room as to not disturb anyone. I worked for 2 hours before trade and the 4 hours of trade. It really didn't feel like work at their oceanside cafe with the ocean 40 feet from my table and the pool about 20 feet. Wireless is a beautiful thing. It ended up being a great report day and my clients were happy with our positions. We rented a cabana on the beach for Tuesday and I joined the group at 9:30 a.m. Hawaii time. We relaxed on the beach, snorkeled, snoozed and just did what you should do on vacation. We had 1 underwater camera so we hope to get some good pictures from that when we get back home. On Tuesday night we went to a restaurant in Lahaina which was a recommendation from our neighbor and friend Brian Thompson. Brian was so confident in this recommendation he said that if we didn't like our meals he would foot the bill. Well, we all ordered the surf & turf with lobster and filet mignon, and believe it or not, we didn't like the food. It was honestly the worst meal we ate on the island, and certainly not the cheapest. The most fun will be getting it out of Brian when we get home.
