Where do Mauians go for a little city life and shopping?

Yes, you guessed it: Honolulu.

My wife and I took a little one night sabatical to enjoy some Chinatown dim sum, a chinese foot massage in a speak easy clandestine store front, a classic Waikiki sunset cocktail complete with Elvis music and Diamond Head view, an Apple Store visit an authentic Japanese dinner experience and, ohh yeah… TESTING WEBCAST SIGNAL. It seems neighboring islands have caught on to what we’re doing and have inquired about our services.

That’s pretty cool when the main island looks to an “outer island” with far smaller population to service them with a technology service.

Now to the shopping. I scored some on sale board shorts for 20 and get this, 2 rock and roll style jeans for only 15 a piece. Designer jeans for 15? In Waikiki no less? Yep. Go hit the the Genius Boutique on Lewers Street followed up with a glass of sake and a Japanese meal at the Genius Bar upstairs with terrace lanai seating. Genious I’d say.

Live Maui Webcasts is also in the market for new Apple Macbook Pro computers to replace our aging (but totally solid) Dells. The Apple Store in waikiki is amazing. Open until 10pm and a staff that gives workshops and great consultations, hardware and software that’s rock solid (I’m blogging from my iPhone), Apple has really impressed me.

Just had a continental breakfast at the Aqua Boutique Coconut Hotel (rated nr 1 on tripadvisor.com), which I totally recommend and now off to sone spa treatments and more dim sum.

Then – shock of all shocks – we go back home to the real world.

Aloha from Waikiki
