mufc99 Posted September 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2013 We have a rental car the day we go to the Luau. Would it be a bit of a loss if we miss out on the drinks that are available at the event. I know it is only a 3 hour show, so presume you couldnt drink too much anyway! :-) Wondering if it is worth spending 160 bucks on taxis both ways or just stay sober and drink whatever else is available. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan-M Posted September 8, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Only the driver needs to stay sober;) You can drink enough at the luau to feel the effects of it, but perhaps the DD could have one early, and then have virgin drinks after that. If a taxi is a consideration, maybe you can find another couple on your roll call who are going the the OLL and will share the taxi with you.

Astro Flyer Posted September 8, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Even if it meant that I was the designated driver, I'd still prefer to use a rental car to enjoy the OLL & to drink only 'virgin' drinks. I've enjoyed the show, food & drink several times & would do it again even as the DD to safely drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufc99 Posted September 9, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Well, we were going to spend half a day around Lahaina, so maybe do that first, a couple of real drinks at OLL then onto the safe stuff and drive ourselves back to the ship :-( We are doing the Volcano sunrise following morning, so probably the wisest thing to do :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted September 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 9, 2013 We are doing the Volcano sunrise following morning, so probably the wisest thing to do :-) I've gone to a couple of Haleakala sunrises & would recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before official sunrise. To me the most spectacular view is when the 1st golden rays appear on the dark horizon. I can't find it now but a recent Maui News article said that a Haleakala parking lot was closed for maintenance. Whenever you're going it may be a good idea to call them about any problems. I wouldn't want to drive there in the middle of the night & see the sunrise from my car looking for a parking spot. ;) Temperatures at the summit can be 30° colder than at sea level so plan accordingly. Add the windchill & most days it'll feel like it's in the 30s & 40s...burr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
