I took fewer pictures this trip. It felt a bit strange but I tried to enjoy it as a trip rather than event. I took over 2000 pictures using up about 40gb, 12gb of video for over an hour of video in HD. In this post I will post the food and a few pictures I will slip in.
 |
| Subway breakfast |
 |
| Reclined seats cause claustrophobia. Note the amount of light reflecting from wing that does get annoying. |
 |
| Spinach, pasta, and two mushrooms. With free white wine |
 |
After we landed the first question was what do you want to eat? My answer - Tylenol.
Note for the future travel with Tylenol and half benadryl pills in carry on backpack. |
 |
| As a photography hobbyist it is fun and easy to observe and judge. That tripod? Probably a $1000 carbon fiber Gitzo. Lens red ring... $1000. Body $2000. Vest to prove serious business. But his position sucks balls. |
 |
| I didn't take this picture. I spent so much time battling my camera this time. "Battling" as in someone here forgot how to use it. Someone here forgot the rules. Someone here is rusty. |
 |
| I feel Don Duixote is one of those things that should be here in Socal. |
 |
| "Melon Dream" Icee dunno if that was an exclusive flavor |
 |
Zippy's http://www.yelp.com/biz/zippys-makiki-honolulu (I am guessing the location)
You should guess which one is mine. |
 |
| I really enjoyed the non-filled mochi.. I had them as breakfast snacks for several days |
 |
| American style breakfast |
 |
| The hike was a bit harder. The views were awesome. I bruised my shin. But it was still worth it. A lot of my shots were ruined by my settings. That's one of the hard parts of using a DSLR... easy to get shots and even easier to ruin them. |

Helena's because Man V Food
Menu option B
Pipikaula short rib - good but I wonder if this is what we had last time
Kalua Pig - think carnita
poi - very um.. ethnic
coconut jello - on the right with onions next to it. Why onion around it iono |
 |
| This shot... I set the timer put camera on the floor and walked away you can kinda see the stars |
 |
| It was weird to know some of the places in the area. These two were freaking huge bowls of korean soups. I thought it was individual size |
 |
| Here we learned he does not like corned beef. |
 |
| Her dad saw my legs with the 5 swollen bites and gave me this. I don't know how well it works but on a psychological level it helps to apply SOMETHING to the swollen bites. Cortizone 10 didn't seem to help me at all. |
 |
| This is their freaking mall |
 |
| I was left to fend for myself for a few hours *much despair* |
 |
Wandered the mall. Bought a boba, bought some tuna poke, went to a park next to the beach and snacked.
See I was totally lost. |
 |
| =P I heard the mumblings why would I get this at a Japanese restaurant? Because it is the exact thing I wanted to eat. Can you imagine eating more raw fish after consuming 1/2lb poke a few hours earlier? To be honest... I have been a bit fearful of eating after the whole buffet and food poisoning incident. |
 |
| Beach front McDonalds |
 |
| Best breakfast within walking distance of the hotel |
 |
This is the day we had a plan.
To be useful tourists, to be less of a burden.
We figured out how to use the bus and created a path.
Don Quixote, tux shop, boba.
Just didn't factor for 26 lb groceries, long line at tux shop and three tuxedos to pick up. |
 |
| This will forever be a mystery fish. The skin was tougher than anything imaginable. The flesh was dense like lobster. But it isn't a monk fish. |
 |
| I felt like... the whole hak hei deal was over rated when I saw the way some people were eating |
 |
| I think it was a pretty fancy dinner. I had a glass of alcohol, probably cogniac and a huge glass of red wine. |
 |
| I wasn't trying to troll him.. corned beef did seem like the best choice and besides, it's March! |
 |
After I walked the buffet line once... I decided I probably under gifted.
After the second time I was sure.
Third time I thought I should hit the desserts.
I was sad I didn't actually get to eat the desserts. |
