Land, settle, first round
- Afternoon: Fly into OGG (Kahului Airport) — 30 minutes from the core. Drop bags at Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort.
- Dinner: Mala Ocean Tavern (Hawaiian steakhouse, $$$). Oceanfront steaks + local fish — group-friendly West Maui table
- Night: Ease in at Luana Lounge (Four Seasons Wailea) — Open-air oceanfront lounge with Hawaiian slack-key guitar, tropical cocktails, and a sunset view that earns every dollar. Keep it reasonable; Saturday is the main event.
