Hello Again!
As part of our ongoing saga of Day One of Craig Waltz's Very Delayed Hawaiian Honeymoon, we join our young heroes as they prepare for their journeys about the Island by laying in necessary supplies and sampling the local cuisine.
Craig and Terry amde several local stops to lay in some necessary items. A trip to that Hawaiian classic, Wal-Mart-truly beautiful people effectively decimating small local businesses by providing genuine Hawaiian products (mostly made in China) at affordable prices (quasi-shameless plug # 3).
Thoroughly armed with snorkelling gear, reef-walkers, an outrageous straw hat, and a flaming ukelele (more on that later), Craig and Terry went on a whirlwind tour of Waikiki and the Ala Moana Mall (and its food court-offering genuine Hawaiian Luau cuisine with out the flaming dancers and the drunken tourists). It is a mostly open air mall that caters to high end (translation-Japanese tourists with lots of money) visitors. It is on the list of must visit locations according to the Hawaiian tour books so-we went and malled several establishments, coming away with a really cool kite to fly on the beach. Craig tried the Hawaiian Luau food-Kalua Pork, Chicken/wLong rice, Lomi Salmon, and Haupia for (a type of Coconut gelatin)-it was all good except for the Chicken with Long Rice-feel free to give that a pass the next time you dine on the island.
Finally, leaving highly developed civilization behind, we took a long and thrilling ride along the eastern coast of the island. The numerous Banyan trees, beaches, flowering trees and sharply rising mountains were easily enjoyed as the top speed on most Island roads is 35 miles an hour.
