Honolulu Hikes
On our recent visit to Honolulu, Eric and I made it out on two hikes. One I’d done before, and one was new! The one I’d done before – actually, now that I think about it, probably the only hike … Continue reading
Waiola Shave Ice
Another food to eat box I must check when in Hawaii is shave ice. Which, I know you want to say should probably be shaved ice, but we’re not going to go there. And this is NOT your American fair … Continue reading
Breadshop
We walked over to the Farmers’ Market at Kapi’olani Community College – which, at least on Saturday mornings, is a bit touristy, with lots of “value-added” products, although there is still produce available – and I remarked on a man’s … Continue reading
Pipeline Bakeshop and Creamery
We were on our way to Bread, but were walking, and when the Universe puts a combination Bakeshop AND Creamery in your path, you go in. Or at least I do. And was glad that I did. There were all … Continue reading

Diamond Head Lighthouse
From the plaque at the Lighthouse: “In 1825, British sailors ascended the crater and found hard, clear calcite crystals among the black rocks. Mistaking them for diamonds, the sailors named the crater Diamond Head. One of the Hawaiian names for … Continue reading
Malie Kai Chocolates
Another Farmer’s Market find! Hawaiian chocolate. I might have bought some anyway, but they were offering samples. A tiny cube, but so rich and tasty it was plenty satisfying. I splurged and got the full assortment: Dark and Milk bars … Continue reading
Bubbies
My recent vacation in Honolulu was a wonderful, warm, relaxing visit with family. Since I’d been there before I didn’t feel like I had to go out and see and do everything in the guide-book or anything. I also got … Continue reading
