HAWAIIAN AIRLINES - HONOLULU TO SAN FRANCISCO

Nice to see Hawaiian Airlines changed up the Chef for their First Class service.  Problem is however, is that the food got worse if you can believe that.  This food was horrible proving once again that Hawaiian just cannot get their First Class food or service right.  So depressing as this is our "go to" airline for flying to and from Hawaii.

LE'AHI MARKET - HONOLULU AIRPORT

Off on another Holiday adventure and at the airport.  Always love my "go to" pre-flight meal at Le'ahi Market.  The Mahi Mahi Bowl is absolutely delicious.

OUTRIGGER CANOE CLUB

OUTRIGGER CANOE CLUB

HONOLULU, HI 96815

I love visiting the Outrigger Canoe Club.  Incredible location and views of Waikiki beach.  This visit was just days after coming back from a chilly trip to Chicago and Wisconsin so it felt so good to be warm and home seeing the ocean again.
Food and service is excellent here and I cannot wait to return!

BA-LE SANDWICH

Don't know why, but every time we travel to the mainland or abroad I crave a Bahn Mi Sandwich and Pho.  Ba-Le is my "go to" place in Honolulu.  Looks like they closed the Ba-Le in Hawaii Kai which is the best on Oahu.  Ordered this takeout from another location on Door Dash.  Not as good as Hawaii Kai but it did hit the spot!

UNITED AIRLINES - CHICAGO TO HONOLULU

United was United once again.  Mediocre service and horrible food.  Crazy how much you pay for First Class and don't get first class service or food.  Never seems to change.

Truly blessed to be married for 25 years and blessed to enjoy this delicious dinner at Shanghai Terrace at the Peninsula Chicago.  I met my Wife at a Peninsula Hotel so this was nice to spend our 25th Wedding Anniversary at a Peninsula Hotel.  Food and service was great here and our waitress was incredible.  So friendly, nice, always smiling and very attentive.  We feasted on some Chinese favorites and really took time to savor the moment.
