Macademia Nut Pancakes, Rain and the Polynesian Culture Center

Posted on January 16, 2013November 1, 2021

I hear it rains a lot in Hawaii in the winter. However, we are favored by the gods (probably because of all the times we visited the Tiki Room at Disneyland), and so we only had one day of major rain. I guess Mondays are like that even in Hawaii. Every day should begin with…

On the last day we did not rest, at all, on the plane

Posted on January 16, 2013November 1, 2021

Last year when we planned this trip we opted to take a red eye back so we could spend the last day so we booked a flight that left at 10pm. We spent the last day hanging out at the beach at Ko Olina. While at the beach snorkeling and hanging out we had no…

Pearl Harbor

Posted on January 16, 2013November 1, 2021

Sunday we visited Pearl Harbor. It’s a sobering place. Of course I’ve spent my life learning about the history, but a visit is very touching and helps remind you of the cost of the freedoms we take for granted. Tears of the Arizona. About 500,000 gallons of oil remain. Parts of the Arizona remain above…

As you walk around the stadium there’s a continual repeat of booths selling bags, jewelery, board shorts and bikinis, but scattered amongst the repeats are a few gems. I found…

Mountain Biking Oahu

Posted on January 14, 2013November 1, 2021

Friday I managed to get some mountain biking in. Years ago I read about mountain biking in Hawaii and how awesome it was. It is awesome, but I don’t remember reading about getting an ass kicking in the article. Oahu is beautiful and the mountain biking was a fun challenge, but tree roots and mud…

Oahu Day 1

Posted on January 11, 2013October 25, 2021

It snowed 4 inches today in Logan and the wind is bad enough that the Salt Lake Airport is closed. Meanwhile, it’s mid 70s on Oahu. Hate me. I’m going to hate me when we have to go back. I’m not sure why I don’t live here. We visited the Dole Plantation. You can purchase…
