    The seafood is fresh as can be, and most places have good chefs. We ate very well all day, every day.

    Aside from fast food, the luau food is the only lame eats on the island, and maybe worth it for the ceremony and history lesson if done well.

    Waimea Canyon is beautiful, but you need to drive up there before sunrise as the top end fogs in very quickly.

    Kayaking the Wailua River to the falls was fun.

    Limahuli Garden tour was cool, saw the Clintons there. https://www.google.com/maps/place/L...b2ba6ef8f704858!8m2!3d22.219842!4d-159.576019

    the locals love chiclets. have your kids sell them to them for 10 cents a box. they are too proud to accept them for free.

    What about traditional plate lunch..... I plan on taking the wife out to some fancy places, but we like the mom and pop type places for sure. Chicken Katsu for example..... Looking for those kind of places.

    Yes, I'm sure Hawaii has Denny's but I doubt they have Sizzler.

    I have a long time ago. It was cool until I puked on the helicopter. I radioed the pilot. He said, did you use the "barf bag?" I said "what barf bag?" (there was a ziploc bag in the front envelope, how was I supposed to know that was a barf bag???) The helicoptor then speeded up and returned to base post haste. They hosed it out while the next family waited patiently. We then drove back to our hotel and passed "Spouting Horn", which is pretty cool. I think I said, "I was a spouting horn!"

    But, the na pali coast and the scenes where they shot Jurassic Park were pretty cool.

    Is this a sex thing? If so, disregard my earlier post, as it would be entirely taken out of context.

    Hawaiian-style sausage, often called “portagee”, dates to the 19th century, when some 10,000 Portuguese immigrants came to Hawai’i to work the cane fields. They brought with them the classic Portuguese sausages, linguiça and chouriço, smoked and laden with garlic, paprika, and vinegar. In a classic of culinary evolution, the Hawaiians then added their own native pineapple and brown sugar, along with soy sauce from Asia, and for me, the world of force meats hasn’t been the same since.
