Sign of the Times

To be honest, I thought more Maui restaurants would have succumbed to the recession than actually have. Good news for us. But one that I thought could surely weather the storm is closing at the end of the month - Roy's Kihei. It's a South Shore favorite of mine - such a pleasant and delicious restaurant and an especially fine place to sit at the bar, munch on pupu, and savor a couple of glasses of wine. So, in what we think is an especially appropriate way to bid the place "aloha 'oe," after "Julie & Julia" tomorrow friend Charlene and I will wend our way to Kihei, grab a couple of stools at the bar, and bid a fond farewell to one of Maui's best restaurants. Sigh...
