Hawai'i - Day 4

Sorry for taking so long to blog yesterday's events. It was a relatively uneventful day, overall (especially when compared to the previous day.)

We leisurely awoke at 8AM, after going to bed at 8PM. It felt really nice to finally get adjusted to Hawaii time, and catching up on some much needed sleep. We ate a light breakfast of Bagels and Jarlsburg cheese, Kashi (cereal) and a fruit salad that Molly made from fresh local produce; It was great. Afterward we embarked upon a mission to get me a coffee, which was unsuccessful for over 2 hours. When we gave up, we were at a local mall: The Jackson Cannery, thus named because it used to literally be a pineapple cannery. We shopped around for souviners, and after a couple of hours we stumbled upon a Starbucks so I could finally get my coffee. That crisis averted we headed to the little touristy area where all the shops are. We spent a good portion of the day just "shopping" but not really buying anything. We did stop off at an antique poster store, and found out they owned some actual, original Mucha stuff, but were disapointed to find that they moved the stuff to a second shop the day before for an art show. All-in-all it was a pretty fun little journey.

For lunch we went to a place called the pineapple grill, which is a 4 star resturant. I got a blackened mahi-mahi sandwhich and some crispy duck springrolls, and molly got the kobe beef on a stick with peanut sauce and crabcakes. For desert we shared a pinapple upside-down cake covered in macademia nut icecream and coconut. It was awesome. We came home (this is at like 3 pm) and took a nap.

We got up at 6:30, and watched some TV... eventually I grilled up a couple of pieces of marlin, and we ate that and went to bed.

A vacation from our vacation.
