THE LOCAL AT HONOLULU AIRPORT
DANIEL K INOUYE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
300 RODGERS BLVD
HONOLULU, HI  96819

Heading out of the Honolulu airport for the Holidays and stopped into The Local for a quick bite.
Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos not bad and the Summer Rolls were a bit bland but ok too.  Service good for an airport restaurant.

I like Rum Fire at the Sheraton for the views and people watching along Waikiki Beach.  If you can grab a seaside table on the right side of the restaurant facing the ocean at sunset it is one of the best seats in Waikiki.  Met a long time friend named Mad Dog here to start the Holiday's prior to us both leaving for Asia trips.  Our little reunion to enjoy some pupus and drinks turned into a party when some friends showed up who were just coming off a catamaran ride and just happened to walk by us. Invited them to have a drink and the Mai Tai's and Champagne started flowing.

LAPHROAIG PRIVATE DINNER AT VINTAGE CAVE CAFE

LAPHROAIG PRIVATE DINNER
VINTAGE CAVE CAFE

I don't drink Whiskey or Scotch so what was I doing at a very private Laphroaig dinner at Vintage Cave?  This dinner was set up by the local distributor of Laphroaig for hard core Whiskey connoisseurs of which I am not.  It was dinner at the Vintage Cave Cafe that attracted me and I wanted to get more educated on the craft and history of Whisky.  Wow...what an evening.  First class all the way and even though I could not appreciate the Whiskey as I never drink the stuff, the food and party were amazing.  Loved this evening at Vintage Cave.

SNACKING AT HOME

I was craving some Nachos while watching a football game at home.  Headed into the pantry and found Tortilla Chips, Refried Beans and some JalapeƱos.  In minutes I had some great tasting Nachos to enjoy during the game.  Yummy!
