This year I am a little slow about writing about our happenings here in Hawaii.
Wednesday, June 23 (Day 3): This was a work day for Sandy again. We also had our first golf lesson with Matt, the golf pro at the Pro Shop. We learned the grip techniques and practiced hitting a few balls. Our next lesson is on Monday, but we need to hit some balls on the range and practice puttiing before then. We need experience just with the ball and then some more fine tuning.
Lunch was at the Hawaii Calls restaurant in the Marriott down in Waikoloa. The dinner specials are still there and the roast beef sandwich was as good as last year. Our golf clubs arrived and we are anxious to give them a try.
Dinner was Ono, from the market, a fresh fish catch of the day for ＄6.99/pound. On the BBQ, it was a nice white, firm meat, excellent choice.
The Mac Mini came a day early and arrived late this afternoon!
Tuesday, June 22 (Day 2): Sandy did some early morning work. We walked to the market for the breakfast feast and came back. We did our errands down in Kona at the Home Depot, Costco, Macy’s and the Safeway store. We tried lunch at the Bite-Me cafe down in the Honokohau Harbor. They have 2.50 local fish tacos and they weren’t too bad!
We were exhausted with all the shopping and us being on the California time zone. We had to make several trips to the parking lot outside of the Fairways due to the paving activity. Dinner was just some wine and cheese and relaxation after we saw the sunset from the golf course.
Monday, June 21 (Day 1): We arrived right on time at 4:05 p.m. on Delta flight 1299 from LAX. The weather was not too bad and we made a beeline for my favorite place, the Kona Brewing Company. We had the 8.00 slice of pizza and the strawberry vinagrette dressing. It was delicious. We made it up to the Village Market for a few groceries before checking out our 2nd home.
Other than the paving coming up for tomorrow, everything is in great shape. We arrived tired but excited. It is a litle lonely without the kids, but they will be coming in August.
