In Hawaii, Amit of bars have the surf channel on the TV. Non sports fan (or lazy) bartenders don’t want to look for sports.
With the high winds, my favorite 20 yo Birdwell board shorts blew off of a chair on our 6th floor hotel lanai. Thought they were lost. Went down to check on the grass below just in case. There they were, 6 floors down and 9 rooms across.
What sucks at the Hilton Waikoloa pools is no control. Guest come down early and put pool toys, towels and other personal things (slippers, etc) on lounge chairs and don’t come back for hours.
We went to the Kohala pool. My wife it was too cold. So back the chaos of the Kona pool. I’m reading.
We’re really happy we did the night at the Westin Hapuna resort. The Hilton Waikoloa is the polar opposite. Very large, busy, chaotic resort with 50% kids.
I’ve generally been very lucky with showing up early and getting a room. This time at the Hilton Waikoloa, not so.
Current status. Checking out soon. Moving base of operations to the Hilton Waikoloa resort. Adding 2 grandsons to the mix. Adult night at Hapuna was fun
Not always can I see 4 of Hawaii Island’s 5 mountains. Hualalai, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and the Kohala’s. The wind is holding the clouds tight to the Kohala’s. Waimea looks wet. Kilauea is missing. My fave has always been the Kohala Mountains, though I’ve lived in the shadow of Hualalai for over a decade.
The thing that hit hardest in Kamala’s interview was her comment about capitulation. All of the groups that are supposed to protect us from a King, as laid out in the constitution have just laid down. Congess, top courts and the polluted justice department.
