‘Morning, everyone! Sarah Kamalei leaves for Japan today for an extended stay. We’ll certainly miss her while she’s gone but she should do just fine … especially if there are a lot of good shopping malls in the area! Aloha, Sarah … safe travels and please take care! And don’t worry … we’ll make sure …
Aloha, everybody! The family all gathered together last night to help my mom celebrate her 90th birthday at Arcadia. She and the residents were entertained by ManoaDNA and the great Eddie Kamae of the Sons of Hawai’i who, along with wife Myrna, have been dear friends of my mom and dad for many, many years. …
Aloha, everyone! I took the weekend off … hope you didn’t mind! After we got back from Fukuoka last Thursday morning, I actually ended up joining my Thursday degenerates on the back nine for a few holes. Boy, was that a mistake! I was so out of it that I couldn’t swing the golf club …
Happy Aloha Friday, peeps! Got back yesterday morning after a bumpy eight hour flight from Fukuoka. There was even some excitement when 3 very drunk Japanese gentlemen had to be escorted off the plane right after we pulled away from the jetway in Fukuoka. I guess they were pretty trashed and were causing some problems …
Hey, peeps! It’s 4am here in Fukuoka and I’m wide awake. Not gonna fight it, though, because we fly home tonight and I want my body to start adjusting back to the Hawai’i time zone. Although we’ve only been here 3 days, it really seems like we’ve been on the road much longer … probably …
Aloha, everyone! Another typical first night in Japan … go to bed exhausted at midnight then wake up at 4am and can’t go back to sleep. Since Japan’s timezone is 5 hours behind Hawaii tomorrow (huh?), basically 19 hours ahead, it’s really 9am for me. It usually takes my body about 3-4 days to get …
Hi peeps, Landed in Fukuoka late this afternoon on Hawaiian Airlines inaugural flight. Took us 10 hours to get here and we’re pretty exhausted. Performed at the media reception and then went to eat ramen at our favorite restaurant, Ippudo. Had a great shio ramen with char siu, boiled egg, and corn, along with bite-size …
Its finally over and I’m totally exhausted! The Merrie Monarch Festival was such a fabulous first-time experience for me & my family … I don’t even know where to begin! First of all, Sarah’s halau, I Ka Wekiu, ended up winning the top honors – they won 1st Place in both the men’s hula kahiko …
Aloha from Hilo, everyone! We arrived in Hilo yesterday morning and guess what … it wasn’t raining! Hilo not raining?! Ya gotta be kidding! Anyway, went to get the car from Hertz and they upgraded me to a 4-door Jeep Wrangler – what a piece of junk! There’s nothing automatic and everything is manual – …
Yup, you guessed it! I went to Scott’s Boot Camp class yesterday afternoon at the Honolulu Club and now my body hurts like hell!  I’m so stiff & sore that I look like the Frankenstein monster when I walk. The hardest part is sitting down and standing up … pure agony and takes forever. This …
