Paint and Sip, Kihei

December 13, 2019

 

The real name is Island Art Party

Back in November when son, Trevor, was with us in Maui we went to the “Paint and Sip” evening. We arrived early and were seated while we waited for the other people to arrive. In comes 8 women who belong (they say) to a Book Club. One of the girls said this was the girls night out, kiddies and husbands were at home. Let the fun begin! It really did begin, it did.

There is a bar and you can order whatever you want to consume…be it with or without alcohol. The music is loud and fun. Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley to the forefront. These girls sang every word and danced while painting. Our instructor was having a blast as well.

Now…Neither Don, Trevor or myself have ever held a small paint brush in our hands. Walls and patios don’t count. Our instructor had picked the subject matter for the night and it was painting Koa fish. Nervous? You bet. Was it fun?

ABSOLUTELY.

Trevor painted his fish on a turtle base (easy to put in suitcase) and Don and I opted for the canvas. I highly recommend this. It is in Kihei in the Azeka Mall.

Days 11, 12

This was fun. We went for some groceries but decided to take Trevor for breakfast before hand. When we got to Three’s Restaurant we were given the runaround where, with 4 empty tables set for 2 and a larger table set for 6, we were told there was a 30 minute wait.

Trevor offered a good tip and the fact we would be really quick. The hostess, with no regard for respect or courtesy said no the server was afraid of  the size of her tip, just in case a party of 6 showed up..  By the way, there was no one behind us waiting to get in. Really?  We left.  Went to another restaurant and the server there said she has heard the same complaint over and over.

After getting groceries and putting them away, we left for Lahaina and the luau. The luau was beautiful and again, very different from previous shows we witnessed here, The show was over by 8:15 and Trevor drove the ‘old folks’ home.

Today was quiet and very hot outside. We took it easy and simply relaxed.
