Happy Fathers' Day

We spent most of Sunday out by the pool at the Hilton.

We started out with breakfast at the Rainbow Lanai where everyone had the buffet breakfast. It was pretty decent: omelette station; breakfast fare; fruit. Juliet really enjoyed the lox and bagels.



By late afternoon everyone was pretty "pooled-out" so we headed back up to the rooms to cool off a little.




We went back down for dinner at Tropics Bar & Grill.

Stay-cation

We took a short Stay-cation at the Hilton Hawaiian Village over the weekend.

We used a 2-night stay I won from a contest on the Warrior Beat and also got an adjoining room for the boys and their girlfriends.

It was a nice way to relax on Fathers' Day.

Our room was a corner room and had two lanais.

This was the nighttime view from the Ewa lanai.

Day Trippin'

We played tourist this morning in Wailea.

We had breakfast at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea in the Duo Restaurant.

A beautiful Al Fresco setting and a very nice buffet breakfast.

Tiffany's

We got together with some Tsaiko friends on Maui last night.

We finally made it to the Tsaiko-favorite Tiffany's in Wailuku.

From the left is me, Juliet, Brian (blog name, duffer), Ed (whitey) and Brian's son, Kyeton. It was nice to see these guys on their "home turf". Prior to this we had only seen them on Oahu but when we decided to come over to attend another party on Maui this weekend arranging to meet up with them was a must!



The food was terrific! What a menu...4 full pages of just about every bar pupu you ever could want.
There was also some dinner menu items but we just ordered everything Ala Carte.

Chop Chae



Honey Walnut Shrimp
The serving had more pieces but I couldn't get the camera out fast enough!
This was really good...



Misoyaki Butterfish
This was a generous serving and very nicely done.


Tofu Steak
The Ko Choo Jang sauce was flavorful and made this a good dish.

The Kim Chee Fried Rice was ono, too and we had the Fried Banana Lumpia with ice cream for dessert. Both of those were really good, too.
