Short trip but way worth it. We stayed at the Prince which is conveniently located and reasonable priced. Kouji was in town so it was nice to him and we hung out a ton with Grace.

August 2023 Trip to Hawaii: Michi and Momo
Thanksgiving 2022 in Hawaii
This may have been our first trip to Hawaii in November. (We visited, pre-Momo, in October back in 2012.) Sky and fam were there as well and Momo had a great time with her cousin.
Hawaii Spring Break 2022
Perfect timing for late winter / early spring trip to Hawaii with Michi and Momo. We left on Monday, March 14 and Peter came back on the 22 while M/m stayed on a couple days later.
Hawaii 2019—2020 Pre Covid Vacation
Oh my gosh totally forgot to post our pre-pandemic trip to Hawaii. Little did we know what we would be in for when we returned to NYC. But we did get to hang out with the JP crew and celebrate Momo’s Shichi-Go-San.

Step Into Liquid
I know, I know, a super cheesy name for a blog post especially since the waves were hardly big but we did buy and did use a waterproof camera on our last day in Waimanolo.
Waimanalo in color and black and white
A video and more photos of Waimanalo and the surrounding mountains in both color and black and white. Truthfully digital color does the surroundings no justice so I prefer the black and white.
Lanikai
Thursday we visited Lanikai Beach—our marriage beach—to celebrate our 6 months of blissful, government blessed living. I forgot what we did on Wednesday but most likely went to the beach and drank beers and ginger ale. Sorry Michi! We also had dinner with Kouji at the Kailua farmer’s market and I really wish I would have taken pictures of the food.
Hawaiian Islands
We spent the first night in Honolulu at the Ala Moana Hotel and went to Michi’s cousin Kevin’s restaurant with friends from Japan. The next day we went to Waimanalo for the rest of the week. Waimanalo means potable water in Hawaiian and is named as such for the brackish ponds in the area. The old school folks must have come here for their drinking water. The area has super-nice beaches compared to Brooklyn, although, like Brooklyn, it has its share of colorful characters lurking about.
First Day in Hawaii, 2012
Honolulu! Wheww! Almost missed the plane because our driver got lost in JFK maze. We had a quick layover, which may as well have been a bounce at LAX and because of United’s Economy Plus seating, had a comfortable and relaxing ride to the middle of the North Pacific.
