Hawaii Vacation 2010: Blue, blue, ocean
Another picture for your PC desktop. I’m not sure what this one will invoke. Perhaps the turquoise will make you feel calm.
Hawaii Vacation 2010: Desktop Photo
This picture would make the perfect desktop photo. Don’t you think? Here’s how: click the picture, visit all sizes, select the largest, download. Install as per your own operating system.
I think I’ll install this at work and pretend that I am on the beach.
Hawaii Vacation 2010: This is the life
Can you make it while living in Hawaii? It is really a beautiful place, but could you make a go at it like our cousin Bob? Is even cousin Bob making a go at it?
But it really is a beautiful place, the fake Hawaii, not withstanding.
Hawaii Vacation 2010: Good Eats
It was all about the food. Visiting Bob was a side effect. Wonderful that it happened during Thanksgiving. More like a coincidence.
There was the usual plate lunches of kalbi short ribs, fresh tropical fruit, roasted pig, and fish, lots of fish. Fresh fish. Raw fish. It’s always so good.
Hawaii Vacation 2010: Golf!
So you’ve seen me old school that golf on Kiawah Island. Now fast forward 15 years and see that I can still play. Of course my stupid scoring is still at the same place as it was back in the day. Except I can hit a driver now, but my short game is gone to pot. My iron play was also terrible no idea why.
When we were in Hawaii, we played golf a couple of days. This is the first day of the vacation and we had a fivesome going but we still played in under 4 hours. Thanks god as I hate how long a round takes.
Hawaii Vacation 2010: Tropics
While it was Hawaii, whose temperature never changes, there was a lot of trade winds blowing. You would think that it wasn’t all that bad, but it was. It was a little bit chilly. Getting in the water took a quick jump or a slow ease into. Once in though, it was delicious. We spent every day at the beach or by the pool and the trade winds blowing finally convinced me to get a wind shirt for the water, a pretty little navy blue one from T&C.
More pictures in the flickr set.
Hawaii Vacation 2010: Drinks
Let’s drink. It’s the new year, but we’ve been drinking since Thanksgiving. We needed the drinks considering that it was already 15 hours of traveling and we had not yet made it to our destination. Anytime you travel that long, a beer will taste nice.
More pictures at the flickr set.
Hawaii Vacation 2010: On the road
Starting to post the pictures to last year’s awesome Hawaiian Vacation. It may take a couple of days because I took close to 600 pictures. I’m gonna curate the pictures and post only the ones I like. I’ve already posted some of the pictures:
Azu~nyan’s vacation.
Check out the vacation Flickr set for all the photos as they get posted.
Observations from Aloha to Aloha
I should’ve been posting more from Hawaii, but who could think about using a computer when you’re in paradise? I couldn’t do that, but I did keep my travel journal which should go up sometime in 2011. For now, let me write down some recollections that could’ve been part of a blog post, but failed to materialize.
The flight out is the suck.
Can’t you just drop us off here?
Hawaii has more radio stations playing reggae as Jamaica. I presume.
The Big Island looks just like Iceland, except for the palm trees.
There are no plants on the west side of the Big Island, then you go up over Mauna Kea and lushness abounds.
These clubs make me have the same game? Maybe I should hit a driver more often?
Bob is a crazy driver.
This road is painted onto the side of Mauna Kea, then paved, then under construction.
I need Dramamine.
Stars are cool. Wish I could see the Milky Way. Or a galaxy. But that fuzziness in Orion’s sword is still pretty cool.
That dude was a star geek.
This lagoon is pretty cool.
That paddle boarder is way out there. So are we.
Is this turtle mating? No. It’s getting its teeth cleaned. Or did it just ate that fish?
Snorkeling, meh?
This breakfast is awesome. Eggs sunny side up on rice with some sausage? Over easy with mahi? Yeah it’s good.
More fish.
Go to Big Island Candies.
Must remember how to rent a car. Or a van. Or at least something on this island!
Nendoroids on vacation. Nakano!
Is place is the fake Hawaii?
The west side of Oahu is the real Hawaii. Too real.
Can we go to the North Shore now?
Shave Ice!
I can really crank a driver. Never new that.
My iron play is gone. The hell!?!
Eagle! No. Birdie!
I haven’t had any fruit yet.
This guy can cook!
A lot!
Lechon! Is awesome.
But it’s awesome.
Ramen. No. Sushi. Yes.
Everyone drives the speed limit in Hawaii. When you’re in paradise, what’s the hurry?
Did I just go to Tokyo?
What kind of crazy tees does 88 Tees serve? Only the Japanese can like them.
Bob has an awesome view. Plus these Diamond Head breaks look smooth and easy.
We need Hawaiian Sun drinks on the mainland.
This hotel is hip.
There’s probably more, but I probably can’t remember any of it. It was a great time. I wonder how long it will take to get back.
