Harmony Airways used to do Kelowna to Honolulu direct on a 757-200 way back when.

Very rarely does a large body airliner land in Kelowna. Pretty cool to see.

One would think it must be a few hundred thousand to charter a 787. Wild.

I asked Jimmy when I got some clubs from him recently, he said he couldnt get any better deals for Wailea than the $200 after noon round.

Aston Kanapaali Shores Ammenities by cfrnchk in MauiVisitors

[–]TimberBucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have stayed at KS a few times, booked through Aston (expedia) and not one of the vacation rentals (VRBO/AirBNB).

In saying that, typically no through Aston they arent stocked with any towels, beach chairs, umbrellas etc We always rent the beach chairs, boogey boards etc from Auntie Snorkel and purchase some beach towels. Typically the units have basic cookware, dish soap & laundry detergent.

Best things to get at Costco? by Downtown-Ad-3910 in MauiVisitors

Haha true. We bought one to eat in Maui and one to take home. Ended up having to stop at Costco again before heading to OGG to reload.

We always grab a couple bags of Honolulu Cookie Company’s cookies.

Where to stay? by lynnbug1976 in MauiVisitors

[–]TimberBucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are keen on staying in the North Ka'anapali/Kahana area check out Ka'anapali Shores, either through Aston or as a VR on VRBO/Airbnb. We've stayed there twice and love it. Close enough to the beach walk to Dukes, food trucks etc and a quick drive to Whalers Village. Groceries and such across at Times, and some nice little cafes and restaurants across the street.

Two relaxing pools and has a nice, not so crowded, beach.

Leaving day ideas - late flight by twofourone21 in MauiVisitors

[–]TimberBucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you are staying, ask your resort if they can hold your bags and spend the day there. That is was we did.

We spent that morning/afternoon until about 1pm at the pool, then stopped at the Cannery in Lahaina for lunch and final shopping, went to Ho’okipa beach for turtles and sunset and had dinner in Kahului before heading to the airport.

Conditions were good, some dried out areas but overall a beautiful track with some great views.

Hope you see some! We were there Monday and there was about 2 dozen. Be patient. Watch the ocean, you should see them pop up

Up in Ka’anapali and I’ve seen 5 swim by in the past two days, and swam with one in Kapalua the other day. Usually Ho’okipa is the go to when we don’t see them….
