Souvenirs

  Sitting by the waters edge, watching people walk by wearing t-shirt memories of their present vacation I am moved and humbled. My wife doesn’t allow t-shirts with printing on them...

Relaxing at Ola Brewery to a wonderful Kiawe Vanilla Porter. They roast the kiawe seed pods which gives this beer a light smoky flavor and the vanilla smooths out any rough edges. 6.8% ABV, 20 IBU

Relaxing in a lounge chair poolside and enjoying the water slides at #hiltonwaikkloavillage. This is what resetting and restoring is all about.
Taking a moment to myself while helping my wife at the International Women’s Day event at The Fairmont Orchid On Hawai’i Island.
We are at El Maguey Mexican Restaurant in Kailua Kona on the Big Island called Hawai’i. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant on island. We haven’t been here in awhile. It’s always good but today it is superb. I order the 2 chili relleno plate with beans and rice. Service is quick. Ambiance is great. Good Mexican pop music. The colors, sights, and smells are all I have come to know from growing up on the U.S. side of the Mexican border. The meal arrives at our table. The sauce warmly covering the chili rellenos is a little salty otherwise it’s a perfect balance of temperature, texture, and tantalizing taste. As my wife keeps reaching over to steal bites of my meal to add to her wonderful taco salad I suppress my primal urges to bite off her hand. From the first bite you can tell based on the cheese. If they use a cheap quality cheese my throat will feel a little itch then start restricting more with each bite. The queso is muy delicioso. I always use the chili relleno as the base unit of measure for a Mexican restaurant. If they can’t this right they probably can’t get anything right. If they do get the chili relleno right it’s usually a guarantee everything else we be great. I rate El Maguey a 5 out of 5 stars.

3 of 3 | We are looking southward from Kohala Mountain Road over Waikoloa, passed South Kohala to Kona. In the distance Hualalai Mountain looms over Kona with it’s back to Mauna Loa volcano peaking out from behind the trees.

Christmas in Hawai’i. I was trying to create for the perfect #christmasinhawaii photo. They include: Moonset at sunrise; Early morning tired Santa; Grumpy Santa; Happy relaxed Santa; How do I get to the coffee? Santa; and others. Which is your favorite?
Mila Polevia and Tani Waipa perform Kimo Hula, my favorite Hawaiian song, at Kings Shops at Waikaloa Beach during Wednesday’s Farmers Market. I’m excited to see them again. Check them out on FB, Instagram and Tanisings.com, FB, and YouTube.
Walking out of Costco and was greeted with this beautiful sunset. I love Hawai’i. I live Hawai’i.
I love my Jeep. Another beautiful day in Kona. Another adventure to a beach we haven’t been to for years.
The water and sky were so very clear. I am grateful for the volcano no longer spewing large volumes of noxious gas into the air. This is Hawai’i at her best.
