Too much of a good thing

Last night we celebrated our final nice dinner in Maui by having dinner at Cane and Taro 
I'll spare the details, but I will say it was delicious. I had the Maui onion and tomato salad with balsamic drizzle and goat cheese. I also had 2 very strong drinks called Hula girls and I should have stopped at one when I began to feel the effects!
After dinner, we did some window shopping around Whalers Village and then decided to have a special desert at Hula Grill. Mark's favorite desert is pineapple upside down cake and they are known for having the best. 
They didn't disappoint! 




I had the homemade ice cream sandwich, it was great. 
I ate half of it. To prevent me from finishing it off, I poured the raspberry sauce all over the rest of it because I don't like raspberry very much. It worked. 
However, I did have a lilikoi martini here (passion fruit) and also managed to drink some of Mark's chocolate martini as well. Now you see why I don't drink but on a rare occasion! Moderation is a challenge for me.
This morning I woke up bright and early - 5:30 or so, and knowing it was my last morning here in Maui I decided I needed to get out the door and experience it one last time. 
My mornings running - especially on vacation- are so important to me, even if I knew I wouldn't be running well physically, mentally the benefits do wonders for me. 
I decided to bring my phone, which was very awkward but I wanted to capture a few lasting memories. 
It was (is) another wonderful morning, even though I was not feeling the greatest physically. My legs are sore this morning, partly from dehydration I am sure, partly because my last run was right before dinner last night and I haven't had much recovery time in between runs. 
I saw this fellow along the way. This was taken right before he passed me.
I returned back to the condo to find my final papaya ready to be eaten with fresh lime slices alongside. I have the best husband ever! I also had a Greek yogurt with a little granola on top and some G2 on the lanai. I have to use that "on the lanai" as many times as I can since I won't be using it after today. (sigh)
We are packing up here as I type (okay, he is done packing. I haven't touched a suitcase yet) and we are headed to spend the day shopping for last minute things and then to find a good spot for a final sunset, then headed to the airport.
I am so excited to see my girl tomorrow. I can't wait to run around Disneyland with her!
