Our first glimpse of the Maui Coast We arrived in Maui December 30th after a 7 1/2 hour direct flight (thank you United). Thanks to all of Chris's points/ miles/ etc. from work travel- we sat in the "economy plus" (extra 5" of leg room, 5"!!!), our bags came out quickly and we were able to jump to the front of the 45 min line at the Thrifty Car Rental line. The first night we crashed at the Maui Beach Hotel, only three miles from the airport. It had the all the amenities of a Super 8 hotel at Ritz Carlton prices.
After checking in and fighting over directions to and from the airport, we celebrated Katie's birthday by dining at Mama's Fish House, a restaurant in Pa'ia that sits right on the beach. It was dark by the time we ate and didn't have much of a view, but we hear its great.
Katie's first $15 drink of the vacation.
My first $15 drink outside of New York City.
The menu was very good. It contained several types of fish I had never even heard of let alone tried. Everything was cooked perfectly, but as far as I can tell everyone in Maui was eating there. It lived up the the hype but not to the cost- $200+ for the two of us to eat with one appetizer, two meals, a dessert, two cocktails and a bottle of wine.
