The Kahala 08-21-2022

Yesterday we checked in to The Kahala. We just felt like getting away and had money growing on our banana tree.

No!

We were very lucky to receive a one night stay from a generous couple. Mahalo mahalo to you Braddah and Sista!!

We’ve attending events here and dined here many times but have never stayed as a hotel guest. Let me tell you the 5 Diamond Hotel service is amazing and impressive! What a treat!

Is this our room?  Shucks!

 

Mountain view - Look Kalani High School!

 

Do we get a free round of golf too?

Reminds me of when me and Tony would attend the Sony Open.

 

 

Ocean view

 

Dolphin view

 

 

Hit the pool!  It felt sooo goood to just swim and float!

First time in the water in 2 weeks!!

 

 

Check the beach

 

Kiters and Wingers!

 

The dolphins are very busy!

 

They look so cute!  At least they're well fed.

 

 

Dinner time, we hungry!

 

Gotta try a little of everything

 

Prime Rib end cut - Full of flavor and tender

 

 

Crab was winnahs!

 

Had a few of these - tried to get my money's worth!

 

Sugar free?  Sorry diet!

We were very impressed with the buffet food AND service! 

 

 

 

We invited Grandpa and Grandma to dinner too.

Grandpa worked at the hotel for many, many years, he likes to go back to visit and see the changes on property and with the staff.

You can see how excited he is to be there.

 

 

Getting around the hotel on crutches was not bad at all.

This week is UH orientation week, Dawn has been attending various orientation days and yesterday, Dora and I spent the day at UH too. There were mostly parents of the out of state students with some local parents. We were glad we went. We saw some old friends and learned about what UH offers these days. It's a whole lot more than what we had.

The Foilahhood was at the Foil Park this morning, I had to go talk story and take some pics!

Double Aloha - They came to share their Aloha but had to go spread the Aloha to another spot too!

Aloha and Mahalo 08-12-2022

Aloha gang!

Today makes 1 week since I injured my foot.

I am ok with being out of the water and know that I will be back, just don't know when. Patience.

Glad to also say that I'm getting used to living with crutches. Every day is better.

 

Most of all, I want to say MAHALO for all your concern, well wishes, advice and assistance this past week.

 

I even got to borrow this scooter. courtesy of sista sista

 

 

Last night we got dinner delivered from Alejandro's(our old favorite burrito place). courtesy of braddah braddah.

Bugga was winnahs!

 

Life don't always go our way but there's ALWAYS things to be grateful for!

MAHALO to all of you!
