Return From Maui

The weather was beautiful - 82 degrees and sunny. We visited the new "Dukes" restaurant just north of Kaanapali. It's a winner. The Maui Sheraton, Napili Kai Beach Resort and the Puamana resorts were outstanding and well maintained. Tennis at the Kapalua and Makena clubs were fun. Diane and I enjoyed playing with our friend the McKenzies and Nizics.
