Waikiki


I had a wonderful trip with a less-than-wonderful end, so I'm trying to think of it selectively.  It was my first vacation of the year, and I really needed to REST and have a chance of scene, by which I mean 'go to a place where I have no chores or obligations.'

As a gluten-intolerant vegetarian, I've struggled while traveling to eat well, but my past visits here plus research for this location paid off!  I ate very well, even at a hotel without a hot-breakfast option for me.

My reference list for others like me and/or next time, in alphabetical order:

  • Appetito (gluten free, cauliflower crust pizzas!)
  • Furusato Sushi (there's a page of veggie sushi!)
  • Island Vintage Coffee (coffee drinks only)
  • Leo's Taverna (hard to find Greek stand with falafel and huge, fresh, crunchy Greek salads)
  • Lulu's Waikiki (omelettes, veggie nachos, gluten free pancakes, bar food, delicious mocktails)
  • Noi Thai Cuisine (amazing Thai food (with two pages of vegetarian options) in a glittering location on the top floor of the Royal Hawaiian Mall)
  • Tanaka Ramen (legit ramen, including a delicious vegan option with gluten-free kale noodles!)

Tropical sunset (April 2)


 I skipped all of March?  That's kind of funny.  I understand how it happened, but still.

I've been sending my phone photos to my stock agency instead of posting them here.  But even they likely can't cope with the number of cloud photos I have.

2019.06 Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

27 new photos by A.E. Graves
I took a day off!! I DID!! Instead of having dental work/surgery, as has been my habit lately, I flew to the Big Island of Hawaii, and RELAXED in the peaceful town of Kailua-Kona.

It was so... PLEASANT.

I have been juggling so many things, that taking some time to just sit in the shade and listen to the waves breaking on the rocks, or enjoy a macadamia nut milk latte, or swim with parrotfish was just AMAZING.

I could get used to taking time to rest.  Who knew?

Last month I took a brief vacation in Hawaii.

Last month I took a brief vacation in Hawaii.

While I was there, I took typical vacation snapshots. Those are here! There are also a few museum photos, which are from the Honolulu Museum of Art.
