February 24, 2007 Kaanapali

Today was another day off. We went to the beach in the morning, but didn’t stay too long to avoid sunburn. We saw several whales from the beach, but they didn’t do anything real exciting.

At noon, we caught the shuttle to town and did all our souvenir shopping and some touring around. We had been shopping off and on all along, but chose to buy very little until our last stop so we would not have to lug it all around. The shuttle retuned us to the nearby mall at 5 p.m. There we toured a small whaling museum that was really quite excellent. They had excellent exhibits accompanied by informative explanations. We returned to the hotel at 6, later walking to a nearby strip mall for a light supper before returning to pack for tomorrow’s departure.
