Musing

Hello, Mark - I started receiving your musings from a good friend of mine, and am now hooked - your walks provide a getaway for one who doesn't seem to be able to get away. Could you please add me to your email list, as I would love to keep using your musings as a way to divert my attentions away from the stresses of the ordinary and mundane...enjoy the remainder of your solace from the real world, and thanks for taking the time to add me, CR, Calgary

Mark, don’t know why I didn't send you this before. My friend in Maui hasa web page: XXXXXXX She is married by the way, so I am not fixing you up, (maybe she has a friend?) and I just remembered she is in Las Vegas this weekend. Your talk of the nude beach and whales reminded me of her, she is all over that! CS in Maine

Hello Mark: We just turned from Kihei last Saturday (we have a place at Kihei Akahi just down the road from you a bit). Some restaurant suggestions:
Seawatch restaurant at one of the golf courses down in Wailea. http://www.seawatchrestaurant.com/ When you phone, ask what night Jamie Lawrence is there---a very, very talented James Taylor-esque singer/guitar guy….he also plays at the Tommy Bahama restaurant in the Shops at Wailea –also a very, very good restaurant—fun for lunch or dinner. He sells a CD—buy it.
Sarentos- just down the way towards Wailea by the Best Western.
Best on the island is Mama’s Fish House, near Paia. Excellent, great views—make a reservation
Café Mambo-30 Baldwin Avenue Paia (go for lunch)
There is Spago’s in the Four Seasons Hotel, Wailea (it was ok, asked when we made res if we were staying at the hotel, we said no and ended up at the leper table which we quickly corrected!) There is another restaurant at the Four Seasons—Ferraro’s—not bad—more casual
HumuHumu (owned by Mel Tillis—I’m kidding) In the Grand Wailea Resort….excellent (fish)
Maalea Grill in Maalea—right by the aquarium---great
Irish Pub at Blue Course in Wailea.
Hope this helps…CS, Calgary

So….what are you going to wear tomorrow?, SB, Calgary

Hi Mark. First time replying to your musings. As I sit here in my office this PM reading about your adventure in Hawaii my mind roams back a year ago to my wife and my first trip there. Just as you describe. I can hear the birds, see the sun come up at 6:30 and smell the ocean. Thanks for the gentle reminder that there’s more to life than work and work, DM, Calgary

aloha, Mark: Reservations have been made for 6 PM at I'o Restaurant. Looking forward to meeting you, PDL, Lahaina

Hi Mark - Hope your day has been good. I am in the office for a few and just thought I'd say another thanks for last night. Even tho the service sucked, the company was great!!! Thanks for your forbearance. Make sure you either give some fortunate person the rest of the wine, or cork it and save it for me. It was a REALLY good bottle, and it would be a shame to dump it... At least use it for cooking or something... to entice the lady with the Mercedes... whatever... lol... anyway, make sure we touch base again, Take care, and again thanks for the lovely evening, keep watching those stars, and try to get your tan perfected. Aloha,, NB, Kihei
