Got a pretty good deal on a long weekend through Pleasant Holidays. We've only been to Maui once before, and only for a few days then. We did the drive to Hana, and saw some of Haleakala national park (the pools at Oheo gulch, all that jazz). We also went to the luau at the Royal Lahaina hotel.
We didn't make it to Molokini for diving/snorkeling, and we also didn't really get to do much exploring in the Kihei area.
I'm sort of putting together my to-do list for what else we have to do. Any suggestions?
So far I've got Mama's Fish House, I might check out the Keka'a Terrace at the Sheraton, and also the Hula Grill.
I don't think we're interested in the drive to Hana again. We may or may not make it for a sunrise on Haleakala. It sounds great, but it also sounds early.

What other restaurants and activities are a must-see? Does anyone know if Don the Beachcomber's at the Royal Lahaina is open? I think I remember a post saying that it was gonna shut down. Has that happened yet, does anyone know?

Also, and maybe Holden can help us out if he reads this-- I saw some Tiki Farm produced Don the Beachcomber coconut mugs in Mugoomba. Are those used at the currently open DTB's in Hawaii (Kona and Maui)? Since my chances of getting a vintage coconut are slim, I'm wondering if I might be able to get one on this trip. I didn't see any special drink/glassware at the DTB on Kona when we were there last year.

Well, thanks to everyone in advance for your help! Mahalo!
PS-- if anyone else is gonna be around Maui at this time, let me know. Maybe we can hook up for a drink or something.
