Loved the Omakase service and food at Tempura Inaba Hanalei'i Sushi Inaba Hanalei'i.  These are two different restaurants in the same building.  We ate on the Sushi side but also were able to order some Tempura too.  Sushi and Tempura were delicious and the staff was very friendly.  Definitely will be coming back here again!

BRUNCH AT THE HAU TREE LANAI

Spending some time having brunch at the Hau Tree Lanai with old friends was special.  This is the first hotel I stayed at my first time ever in Hawaii.  I enjoyed breakfast on the lanai every single morning for almost two months.  Being back now with the same friends I had over 30 years ago brought back old memories and made some new ones.  I loved the Crab Benedict with Tomatoes in place of the bread and will never get sick of this view.

Totally stoked to have my buddies in town from California and just had to take them to my Happy Place at The Kahala Resort.  Since we were celebrating, I went for the Cavair Service and the Seafood Tower and some other munchies.  The champagne and food flowed as did the stories of a lifetime of friendships.

With two of my best friends in the world visiting, we just had to enjoy a Mai Tai at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.  These babies pack a punch and put us on the right path for an epic day.

BLESSED TO HAVE THESE SAME FRIENDS FOR OVER 30 YEARS

Mahalo for visiting this little food and travel blog from Hawaii.  Started in 2008 to share life experiences with my Dad who passed away in 2012.  Still thinking of him and sharing.

Stay tuned for more food, travel and I think golf
after a three year hiatus!
