Maui Day 2 - Cancelled Plans

Tuesday, (January 28th), we had planned on driving the road to Hana.  When we woke to the pounding rain, we decided, you know, because of the rain, we would delay that until later in the week.  We took some time to walk down the beautiful beach in front of our hotel. 

This picture totally documents our walking style, and in some ways, our style about life in general.  On the left is Bryce's trail of footsteps - totally straight and regular.  On the left is my trail of footsteps - all over the place.  Seeing that picture made me laugh.
You know what didn't make me laugh?  The rain.  While it was very nice to walk down the beach, it would have been even nicer to do it in the sun.   
Later that morning, Bryce and I enjoyed a couple's massage and sat in the hotel's "Himalayan Salt Room," which is basically a room with salt crystals all over the walls.  Supposedly, breathing in the microscopic crystals will clean out your lungs.  We thought it couldn't hurt to try and get all of the Salt Lake City smog out of there.  

That night, we had booked a luau, but because of the rain, it was cancelled.  We thought we would try out the Aloha Mixed Plate that everyone had been telling us about.  We made it to the restaurant just in time to be the last to place our order.  That's right, because of the rain, the restaurant was closing early.  However, we got our order to go and we did indeed get our mixed plate on.  I am here to tell you I think it just might be a tad over-rated.   
However, we reminded ourselves we were in paradise and had to laugh as we ate pork, rice, and super-mayonnaised macaroni salad out of to-go containers in our hotel room.
