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 Jalapeños. In minutes I had some great tasting Nachos to enjoy during the game. Yummy!
