Believe it or not, Mel, the little island of Maui now has direct flights to the mainland <g>. As a result, no chance to check out your illegal games or Elks chips in Honolulu. I had a lead from a chipper on a flea-market on Maui that sometimes has chips but it was only open on Saturday when I had to attend a Tequila and Mescal tasting.

This is really a great 3-day festival! Held annually in Kapalua (west end of Maui) and has just about every event you could imagine related to fine wine and spirits plus food. The Villas in Kapalua are also a great bargain for those who need a place to stay at under $100 a nite (!). Email me if you'd like info for next year's event.
