Shop! Shop! Shop!

After our morning beach walk and breakfast we sat down and planned some tourist activities and evening entertainment for the week.

We grabbed a quick lunch at Maui Tacos, then spent the better part of an hour learning about the history of sugar cane plantations on Maui at a little museum across the road from the island's one remaining commercial sugar came plant.

Then it was off to Kahului on an Economic Stimulus Outing to Maui's second favorite store (after Costco): Savers. The place carries mostly clothing, but also used books, housewares and other assorted "stuff" it buys from the Big Brothers and Big Sisters non-profits.

It was no joy there, so it was back to Kihei for stops at Maui Clothing Outlet (good selection of Aloha shirts, but few bargains) and Hilo Hattie's (where Cindy bought a Hawaiian-style dress).
