Nice photo. A Hawaiian day in October in Minnesota feels like heaven. You're experiencing the short transition between the seasons "Road Construction" and "Winter's Coming"!

We had so much running around to do yesterday, I didn't get my Aloha Friday post ready.

Looks like we are getting out of our wet period here in Hawaii this weekend and the trade winds will return over the weekend. It's been a little cooler too. We had to turn a fan on the last couple of days. Bring on the weekend.

This week's picture takes us to Kauai and back to Kalapaki Beach where a staple of the island greets everyone with great food and drink. The famous Duke's Restaurant. Enjoy great food while watching the waves come in on the beach and surfers tackle the waves. Don't forget the Hula pie!

Enjoy and have a Wonderful Aloha Friday everyone.

We love the Kauai Duke's. We like going there when a cruise ship is in and watching them zig zag thier way to get out of the harbour.

It's the last Aloha Friday in October. On to November and my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving.

Kim and I are going to head over to the Sugar Mill Museum today. We've been by it many times but never been to it yet.

This weeks picture takes us back to Oahu and Waikiki. This is the Rainbow Tower in Hilton Hawaiian Village. The 31 story Rainbow Tower was constructed in 1968. At the time of its construction the Rainbow Mosaic was the largest tile mosaic in the world. It's an iconic landmark in Waikiki.

Enjoy you weekend and have an awesome Aloha Friday everyone.

Gotta love Diamondhead. :thumbup: TUG still needs a Shaka emoji. :)

Agreed. But Tug needs more than a Shaka emoji. They need a full reload of the emoji symbols, since many of them appear to be captured from animated gifs, and don't display correctly. There has to be a better library somewhere. @TUGBrian, can you please make this happen?

What is the weather liked in the morning and at night ??
Click to expand...

For the last couple of weeks, we have had rain when I go to bead at about 11pm and then some more rain comes through at night.and then even some rain comes through from 6am to 9am.

It's definitely been cooler at night too, getting down to 71. Daily highs have stayed steady at 85 or 86.

For the last week, Kaunakakai and even the west side of the island, Maunaloa, has gotten some rain.

For over 10 years I have always celebrated Aloha Friday by wearing an Aloha shirt to work. I still do that to this day and when I moved to Hawaii a couple years ago I started posting Aloha Friday pictures /memes on Facebook. My relatives like them and they often start conversations.

Recently I started taking my own pictures and putting the Happy Aloha Friday logo on them. You may see some places you recognize.

Gorgeous pictures. We are planning our first Hawaii trip. Decided on Maui. We’ve been working with AAA on a hotel but I’m getting $5000 and $8000 prices. What hotel is there in between these prices that would be a 4 star?
