West Maui Wellness Center - WOW!

May. 1, 2008

The ladies of my family had a discussion over Easter brunch this year about how different scents often create powerful associations. My sister noted she loves the smell of lavender (who doesn't?) while another confessed to swooning at a mere sniff of eucalyptus at her favorite spa. Hearing my sisters wax poetic about sea algae and rosewater, it occurred to me that I'd typically visited a spa only during times of duress and not often enough when things were going well. This had left me,...

Sing Hallelujah! Honolua Store Revival!

Apr. 18, 2008

In case you haven't noticed, Kapalua is witnessing a Renaissance. The razed Bay Hotel is being replaced with luxury oceanfront residences. The Ritz Carlton has undergone an extensive remodeling and dedicated one full wing of the hotel to private ownership suites. Once known primarily as a golf enclave, the newly developed Kapalua Adventure Center expands its luxury market appeal and also coaxes intrepid hikers and outdoorsmen to the most extensive zipline course in North America. The retail center...

Four Days on Maui

Feb. 9, 2008

Everyone is defined to a certain extent by their geography and roots. What we experience on a daily basis does, in fact, affect the person we become and how we see the world. New Yorkers carry a vastly different perspective than, say, Montana cowboys. Their respective environments have everything to do with it. Which is why I think it's fair to say that islanders are different from mainlanders. It occurred to me only recently, after living in Maui 5+ years that my life-long affiliation...

Taste of the Island

What's a Plate Lunch?

It's a local necessity! A Hawaii classic of excess calories, carbs, and tastiness. Your traditional plate lunch consists of two scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and at least one meat dish -- beef teriyaki? pork cutlet? hamburger pattie and gravy? breaded mahi? You choose -- there are lots of options. Some restaurants will let you substitute a green salad for the macaroni. Others might include a few extra side dishes. Most places will serve your meal on a plate if you are going to eat-in, but if you ask for take-out you can get your meal-to-go in a styrofoam box with fork or chopsticks (your choice) -- perfect for taking to the beach or park so you can dine in the open. A plate lunch works perfectly well for dinner too -- think of it as Hawaii comfort food.

Will I have to dress up for dinner and bring a suit or fancy dress?

* NO, not in Maui! Dress codes are relaxed throughout the island.
