I love Cheeseburger in Paradise, and the cocunut shrimp there are better than Bubba Gumps, but ya gotta go to Bubba Gumps just for the heck of it. The best food for the money, actually really liked the food, and the sunset, was Leilani's (spelling?) right in front, at Whalers Village. I didn't want to eat there, cuz it was at Whalers Village, after the first night we ate there, we went back the next. It was good. Take your kids to the Westin early in the morning to let them feed the penguins. Other than that, your kids will probably at that early age just want to spend most of their time, and be happiest, just being with you in the warm water and on the hot sand. Heading up from Kaanapali beach, there are quite a few "trails" to explore to the beaches up there, go act like you are in a movie with your wife up there, ya know, sand, warm water splashing over ya, you get the idea, only they make it look better in the movies. I also like just grilling up goods on the grills that were outside, checking out all the scenery and warm wind while I cooked steak, or chicken, or fish was cool. If ya rent a surf board, and/or boogie board, just get it for the week, then ya aren't in a big hurry to rush and use it all in one day, you can use it when ya feel like it. Most important thing to remember, ya gotta get to the bar early, 3 pm at the latest to watch your sports, and order your Lave Flows with 3 extra shots if you want them to taste like a drink rather than a slurpee.

To get the timeshare dudes to leave ya alone, as your are walking, approaching them, just look at them and say, "oh, out here agian huh?" before they can talk to you. "YUP" they will say as you walk by. Or of course the old stand by, as they are about to open their mouths, just say, "f off". Not so nice, but they get the point.

Beach fishing..... gear, spinners and spoons worked better than the huge, expensive poppers and other lures I bought there. I am however gonna try the lures I bought there on the muskie in Curlew next week.
