Maui Day 9 Thursday

This was our last full day in Maui. We didn't have anything scheduled for the day and all week long we thought about what we should so. The Wilsons wanted to bike down Haleakala, which they did. They woke up for the sunrise bike tour and they said it was a great time. Nicole and I had enough biking from our trip in San Francisco so she and I went back and forth on which golf course we would play. We ended up playing the Bay Course at Kapalua. We played their sister course, the Plantation on Sunday and enjoyed it so we thought we would try the Bay Course. It was just fine, not nearly as nice as the Plantation, but it had some cool holes along the ocean, one in particular where you have to hit your ball 100 yards of carry over the ocean. It was a 205 yard par 3. I made a par, which was the highlight of the round.
We had considered taking the ferry from Maui to Lanai, an island directly across from Maui and playing 2 courses over there, one called the Experience (designed by Greg Norman) and the other called The Challenge (designed by Jack Nicklaus). It would have been a great time, but a long day so we decided on just 1 round of golf.
We went back to dinner at Cane and Taro, where we started our trip a week earlier and had the same sushi that we loved so much the first night on the island. What a great trip, Maui lived up to its hype of being a great vacation destination. We loved every minute!
