Friends Trip to Maui: Day 8 - Spa day

And just like that, our last full day on Maui was here!  This day is always a little sad for me because of all the "lasts"--last full day, last sunset, last night at the condo.  *sigh*

Luckily, it looked like it was going to be a beautiful day so it was hard to be too sad!


We spent a leisurely morning at the condo and I had my "last" bagel and fruit breakfast.


I'm sure going to miss this view!


Nick and Ben went and got breakfast at a nearby McDonald's since all the breakfast food was gone.  When they got back, we started talking about what to do.  I really wanted another beach day but it was going to be sunny and probably hot since the trade winds had died down during our stay.  So I couldn't get the boys interested in the beach.

In the end, Nick decided to stay at the condo and Ben, Ben H. and I decided to have a spa day--which for me always sounds like a good idea!

So we drove over to the Spa at the Montage in Kapalua.  For $55, you can have access to the gym and spa, which had a spa pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna and relaxation lounge.  This was really nice since the pool at the condo isn't great and there is no hot tub at all.



Ahhh, this is the life!




The waiters would come around with fresh pineapple.


The boys went to the gym while I sat poolside.


When Ben got back, we got in the pool and hot tub. 

Paradise.


We all decided to get pedicures since it included a foot massage and we had done lots of hiking.  So I went and spent time in my area then met Ben for a pedicure--his first one.  I think he is now a fan!

Ben and I were starving so we went down to the Montage pool and got a snack while Ben H. had his treatment. It was looking like it would be a great last sunset.




So when Ben H. joined us, we called Nick to ask about dinner but he was not feeling well.  So we all three decided to watch sunset at the Montage.

Last sunset.








Since we had not had dinner, we decided to have our last dinner at Maui Brewing Company by the condo since our favorite takeout place was already closed.  I got a burger and root beer and it was just ok--the food there is not my favorite.  But it did the trick.

While at dinner, Nick texted us that he needed some things from the store.  It turns out that he had gotten food poisoning from McDonald's that morning!  It was a good thing he had decided to stay at the condo after all.  We felt so bad for him!

Ben and I stayed up until 10:00 p.m. that night.  We always get on island time right when it's time to leave!

Tomorrow we would have a leisurely morning at the condo before we packed up and headed to the airport.
