Aloha, peeps! We just arrived home after our flight from SF was delayed about 17 hrs. due to mechanical failure … I knew this trip was going too smoothly! Anyway, Hawaiian was pretty good about it … we got meal vouchers, a hotel room, and a $300 flight credit. Still, I think most of us …
Hello, hello! I’m back! We spent Saturday & Sunday in Napa, Monday in San Francisco, and are now getting ready to head back home to Hawai’i. This has been an awesome trip and I have much to share with you guys, but it’ll probably have to wait since I still need to pack for our …
Aloha, everyone! It’s our last night in Vegas and we just got back from our favorite restaurant, Todd’s Unique Dining, located in nearby Henderson. As usual, the food was great – Alex and I had the braised short ribs while Nick and Gregg had the lamb shank – both really ono! For dessert we ordered …
Aloha, everyone! The boys & I are in Las Vegas for a little R&R and also to celebrate their birthdays. This has become a tradition of sorts ever since they turned 21 yrs. old and is strictly boys-only. It’s been non-stop since we landed and I’m already starting to feel a little tired since I …
A wonderful Tuesday morning to you all! Boy, was last night’s college BCS championship game junk! It was totally one-sided as #2 Alabama humiliated #1 ranked LSU 21-0 … Alabama’s defense was so dominating that LSU’s offense couldn’t move the ball past the 50-yard line until midway through the 4th quarter! It was a great …
Happy Aloha Monday, everyone! Well, the Broncos did it … they won their first playoff game with Tim Tebow as their quarterback, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-23 on the very first play in overtime! It was pretty exciting as Denver jumped ahead early, only to see the Steelers mount a great comeback in the 4th …
Aloha kakahiaka! Hope you’re all having a great Sunday morning! I’m going to spend the day at home watching the NFL playoff games and doing some chores … pretty boring stuff. I’ve been really enjoying this downtime since ManoaDNA is still on its holiday break and I pretty much kept my calendar clear of any …
Hey guys, For all you football fans out there, this weekend is the start of the NFL playoffs with two wild-card games slated for today and two tomorrow. But the one I’m really waiting for is on Monday – it’s the college BCS national championship game between #1 ranked LSU and #2 ranked Alabama! When …
Wassup, peeps! Just got back from dropping Nick off at the airport this morning and as usual, traffic was backed up on the airport viaduct coming into town. There are always a few reckless NASCAR wannabees speeding in and out of the traffic, only to be stuck with the rest of us when the freeway …
Aloha, everyone! Well, I could tell everything was back to normal yesterday. The traffic was gridlocked and people were impatiently tailgating each other while texting or talking on their cell phones … so much for the relaxing holidays! Things were busy at the IOLANI store as we greeted fans from Sapporo and the mainland U.S. …
