Aulani ~ 8

 

Our days are counting down. It is hard to believe we have been on this magical island a full week already. Today is our last full day to enjoy this beautiful resort. Of course we awoke to enjoy some more time by the pool and the beautiful water. Enjoying breakfast and coffee while relaxing by the water is just an amazing way to start the day. After a few hours of this we even hit up the lazy river again.

We were also looking forward to completing more of the Menehune challenge, an ongoing 'game' for all ages, where you solve puzzles and find the next clue to locate the next Menehune. We had worked on this a couple times during the week, you can 'check out' the iPad for an hour each time to play this and it tracks your progress so you pick back up where you left off the next time you log in. You follow the hints and get to the next clue and aim the iPad at the 'right spot' and if so something MAGICAL happens (the two videos at the give you an idea).

We also had another DVC event booked for this day, the awesome Mixology. I have heard mixed reviews, mostly good and we had an amazing mixologist who actually taught us a lot and gave us a LOT to drink and there were yummy food items each drink was paired with (which I didn't always remember to take a photo of). There were a few trivia games and the big one in the end I won! The prize is the drink below with Mickey ears and a bit too much alcohol, lol! It was a very strong drink! We had so great afternoon! Definitely something to do if you are DVC while staying at Aulani. Both cast members were amazing and very helpful. 

We knew had some 'to go' drinks to take up to our room as there was no way I could drink any more at that moment. We truly had a blast of an afternoon on our last full day. I had some packing to get done and prefer to get it done before late in the evening so we could relax and really enjoy the last bit of time we had in the resort. We decided tonights dinner would be in the lounge where we had just spent our afternoon, but outside listening to the music and enjoying the beautiful weather. After dinner, enjoying our last Hawaiian sunset and my last soak in this amazing tub.
