In case you've been wondering…..the Missus and I took what seemed like a really short trip, it seemed to be over in the blink of an eye. We were getting a bit stale, so it was time for us to do something. I know I already went home once this year, but we decided to take that trip.
We ended up spending only a couple of days on Oahu and the rest on the Big Island. I've been there at least a dozen times and the Missus about 5 or 6. We had friends who lived in Hilo for a while. But hadn't been back in over ten years and were wondering if things had changed much.
Since we'd been there so many times, we've done all the sight seeing stuff, so we just kind of just wanted to drive around and enjoy….to the tune of 600 miles in four days! So even though we've been here many times before, you can be sure that we'll be at least showing a couple of great sunsets…..
Maybe throw in a waterfall…..
And being on the Big Island, you know we've got to visit here…..
Of course there will be lots of poke….which the Missus just can't get enough of…..
Or even this….a bargain at $9.95:
The Missus really appreciated the local produce on this trip and took full advantage.
Though that doesn't mean I cut this out of my diet…….
We also had a chance to visit a couple of real "old time" favorites on the Big Island, places that are etched into the locals minds. These places have been serving up the same fare for decades and have a place in the history of the Big Island.
From the very "Local-Japanese"……
To a pork chop that was probably cooked in a cast iron pan several decades older than I am…….
It was all good.
Even the Hamakua Mushroom Burger……..really!
We didn't have much time on Oahu, literally two nights total, but managed to enjoy ourselves……
So let me regroup and recover and we'll be back with a post!
Hopefully, before pigs fly……..
Thanks for reading!
