To start out the morning today Joe took a call on the balcony and he was joined by some friends.
Did some more exploring and shopping at the resort. Checked out the Honolulu Cookie Shop.
Today’s pigeon and duck of the day.
I finally got around to the statues that I remembered from our time here 18 years ago.
We drove around the west side of the island again today. We went past where the Disney resort was to where the road actually ends on the west side. This side of the island is very different from the other side of the island. It’s not as crowded but we didn’t see a resort or or hotel on that side. The beach is very different as well. In some areas it looks very rocky and not sandy at all. There is a beautiful valley with tall green mountains that look like it divides the island in half.
We saw this sign for Space Force. We didn’t realize they had one here.
I learned that Tua’s hometown was Ewa. We saw the sign for it today. We may check out his high school tomorrow.
Joe found online Little Joe’s Steakhouse. So we had to try it out tonight. We sit down and the waiter comes over and talks to us and immediately wanted to know where we were from. We told him Alabama and he spent some time in Chattanooga as a child. So he recognized the accent. A little later Sweet Home Alabama played in the restaurant. When he came by we asked if he played out song. He told us that the restaurant we had picked is owned by former Alabama place kicker Peter Kim. I remember reading that Peter owned several restaurants in the Honolulu area. What are the odds we would pick one out of all the places in the city. The food was great, especially the passion fruit crème brûlée. Now Mr Vanilla didn’t enjoy it as much as I did.
As we were heading back to the hotel we saw a couple of rainbows.
Today’s flora and fauna.
Tomorrow is our last day here. We fly home tomorrow night.
