tsomers 0 Posted May 5, 2011 Here's a shot from my rear deck, although you can't see at night, I look out at the island of Lanai on the left, Kaahoolawe & Molokini islands on the left out of frame. Yep, shorts, slippers, T-shirt weather all year. I love maui, we go there every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balad1 0 Posted May 5, 2011 The U-Boat looks great on that nato, very good choice Balad. (Maratac?)The location is just eye candy and reminds me of my grandpa's saying: "Die dümmsten Bauern ernten die dicksten Kartoffeln." Fortune favors fools. I bought the rep used with the strap on it so not sure who made it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guami007 0 Posted May 5, 2011 Kenny, when I build my new home it will have an extra flat for relatives and friends to make holidays; you will have to plan to come then. I still have dibs on that little nook under the stairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good ole Hotel street, I was stationed at Schofield Barracks many years ago. Hawaii, the only place I was ever stationed that I could lose my months pay in one night. Something about the combination of pussy and beer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny, speaking of your favorites...Spiders About 3 months ago I was bitten by a brown recluse spider which as you may know is poisonous. It wasn't a big deal but the skin around the bite sloughed off (died), about 40mm in size. It is fully healed now and my hairy arm covered up the scar that is left, lol.

Jza 1 Posted October 20, 2012 Hey Balad1, I fly into Honolulu in mid October for 4 days. Any tips on where to go? We don't want it too touristy. Cheers Pete Pete, Currently living in Honolulu, Born and raised all over but lived here most of my life. I suggest looking to Yelp for reviews/reviewers that sound like they are suitable to your tastes. My second suggestion is to stay away from Waikiki. I understand if you have a hotel there, but it's a tourist trap and the beaches are just jam packed. My longtime GF and I from time to time eat in Waikiki at a FEW restaurants mostly for happy hour. Wolfgang's Steakhouse has a great Happy Hour(or as we locals call it "Pau Hana" which literally means "finished work" "time after work" or "happy hour"i.e. "Where we going for Pau Hana?" I mostly go to(when I go) Wolfgang's happy hour for their dry aged kobe beef sliders. They have other things that are very decent for the price. It get's real pricey there during regular hours. Also, I know it's a mainland staple, but Ruth's Chris has a 3 course menu appetizer, main, and dessert for about $40 for 5-6pm daily. You just can't beat that anwhere, and Ruth's always has great service. Another place for happy hour is Ala Moana Mall is the Mai Tai bar, decent happy hour. I suggest Waimanalo for the beaches, it's a long stretch on the Eastside of Oahu. Stop anywhere from Makapuu Beach(which is a great one, but can get rough) to Kailua town. Defineitly stop at Kailua town and grab lunch, I like to grab a burger at Teddy's. Lanikai is considered one of the nicest beaches. I consider from Makapuu to Kailua town and Northshore the best stretch of sand on Oahu. While you are on the Eastside, I suggest eating dinner at Halweiwa Joe's in Kaneohe, especially if you like Prime Rib, they stop serving once they run out, so best get there when they open, which I believe is 6. The Prime Rib is HUGE and a great price, plus the scenery is very awesome!. It's has the feel of a retreat and a hidden gem. Definetly go to the North Shore, preferably during the weekday, weekends is packed and crowded. There have been a few decent swells already, which is a site to see and feel. You'll know what I mean when you see it. Hopefully there will be waves. I can go on and on. But defineitly Yelp it, and see what the locals like. Hope this helps !
