We’re Ready for Molokai

[slip]

Wow, After lunch I sat in that lounger and was out like a light. When I woke up my wife said, yes, I’m still I’m my pajamas.

It’s that kind of day. I may walk down to the ocean later when it get dark to see if there are any fireworks I can see from Maui.

All in all a very relaxing day.

Tomorrow we will stop into Kaunakakai town for a few things we need and we’ll probably have lunch at Paddlers.

The flight we took was a private tour airplane it wasn't an airline. They just do tours even though some do come from Oahu. The plane would seat I believe up to 9 but we were the only passengers until we were joined by the Mule Injured woman.

That does sound like the planes Makani Kai and Mokulele use. I think they advertise travel for the tours. I haven’t checked In a while.

Slip, Remember it is SUNDAY, most stuff is closed in Molokai on Sunday. I do have a story about Paddlers when we were there years ago. The last day, which was a Sunday, we had lunch at Paddlers sitting outside before we drove to the airport to fly back to Honolulu. I went to the bar to ask where the restroom was. The bartender responded, "You are from the Bronx! I lived in the Bronx up to 13 years old. I asked her how did she know. She said I watch alot of television. Well we got to talking and I told her that we had dinner at the Hotel Molokai last night and enjoyed seeing Ekolul Kalana and his band perform. It turns out she is Ekolu Kalama's ex-wife. Molokai is a VERY SMALL ISLAND!

Great story, yes. Molokai is a Small island and everyone knows everybody. That does knobs of help us a bit. When we talk to someone new, we mention a know of someone we k ow and that starts another conversation.

Yes, after I posted that, my wife said you better check and see if they are open and Paddlers is closed on Sunday. According to the website. I have been surprised that many of the other places to eat are open on Sunday with shorter hours. So we will sane Paddlers for Monday or Tuesday. We may hit Molokai Pizza today, we’ll see.

Yes, another crappy day in paradise. No rain this morning only bright warm sun. The weather has been perfect everyday so far. There was even someone out throwing a net this morning.

This time of the year you don't make me jealous. Long Island has beautiful weather almost the same as Hawaii 85 during the day and 70 at night and our Pool is beatiful from mid June - mid September. Starting in October I would start to get jealous when I need to wear jeans and jackets instead of shorts and tank tops. By the time December comes I would jump up to extremely jealous when I need to wear coats everyday and at times tights under jeans and sweaters under coats, and at times boots. I don't get happy on Long Island again until June.

Very similar to friends back In Wisconsin. But most times when it’s mid 80’s there, it is humid and not much of a breeze. Not to mention mosquitoes.

The trades have been wonderful and we don’t have a bug problem on Molokai or Oahu.

I know what you mean about cloths. Besides for work, I have only worn shorts and never socks since I have been here. The consistent weather is awesome and I don’t miss the changes of seasons, yet anyway.

Well I have to admit that since we are in the middle of woods on Long Island we do have mosquitos. The only change of seasons that I enjoy is spring into summer. If summer after summer the change of seasons was back to late spring I would never leave Long Island.

Of course we never had the ocean in Wisconsin either. But there were plenty of beautiful lakes. We were close to a lot of things but we usually only went once or twice a summer. There was something that always had to be done.

We decided on a lunch at Hiro’s today.

 

[slip]

Went down to the pool. I was the only one there. Got some sun but have to be careful. I can only do about 20 minutes. So I swam a little then sat in the sun and swam some more then went under the cabana a couple of times.
looks like some type of barge went by too.

Everybody’s favorite spot for a picture or video.

Wow is that right. Having a house is a totally different lifestyle than a condo. With a house there is always something that has to be done, particularly in the nice weather. In the colder weather sometimes I don't have enough to do. Being in Hawaii in a condo lets us have the warm weather with lots of free time to do as we please.

Exactly, we really enjoy watching everyone taking care of the pool, BBQ’s and the grounds everyday.

We went to Hiro’s for a late lunch/early dinner.
Shrimp Scampi Linguine with Pancetta, Crusted Mahi Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries and Calamari for starters.

Now I'm hungry!

 

[slip]

We were too late for a couple other places. Molokai Pizza and Burger used to be open Sundays before COVID but now they are closed Sunday’s. We will hit Paddlers Monday or Tuesday.

This first week has been great and we have a whole week to go.

 

[Krteczech]

Oh, how I am enjoying your staycation on Malokai. Hopefully I will be able to check it out on my vacations one day.
Enjoy staying at you future permanent address. Aloha!

We haven’t hit the west side of the island this trip yet. Hopefully early this week. My wife has enjoyed the lanai and me cooking so much, it’s been hard to get her to leave the condo. That’s been fine with me, it’s been really relaxing.

 

[slip]

We had to stop into Kaunakakai town to get some more groceries and cleaning supplies so we stopped into Paddlers for lunch.

My wife had her favorite Li Hing Mui Margarita and I had a tap of Longboard. My wife always gets the Paddler Fries and I had a Gyro. Everything was excellent and they were fairly crowded with the limited seating.

 

[slip]

After Paddlers, we took a ride and said Hello to our realtor. She had retired shortly after we purchased our condo and moved off island. She has now returned and is helping a friend start a new realty business on the island. Here’s some pictures of the neighborhood. This is a couple miles east of Kaunakakai town.

 

[slip]

We went further up the hill and further east and saw some nice views and houses. There was a lot of construction going on up there. Never realized that before. Somebody has some money. These are about 5 miles from Kaunakakai town.

 

[slip]

Then when we returned home we were greeted by this beautiful low Rainbow.

 

[slip]

After that low rainbow went away, it was replaced with a taller one.

Beautiful moon over Maui tonight!

All your pictures remind me that I want to get to Molokai. In fact several years ago I had rowed over all our DRI Points so we could do a week on Molokai and then 2 weeks on Mau'i. A friend was going to go with us for 1 or 2 weeks. Just as I was about to start making Reservations Patti was at our friend's house without me. Some how NOLA came up. She had never been to NOLA and wanted to see the WWII Museum. Patti asked her if she would rather go to NOLA and Patti committed us to NOLA. There went my plans. I was able to use some of our DRI Points for Frenchman Street and Worldmark Points at the Avenue. But I was pissed. I like NOLA and had a good time BUT. I politely explained to Patti that while friend could travel with us she had no say in where we went. It looked like we were going to lose a bunch of DRI Points. Luckily I got us into KBC and Hono Koa, a week each. On less than 60 Reservations and we only lost a couple Points.

@slip Thanks for all of the pictures. I hadn't realized until now that Hiro's is the restaurant at the Hotel Molokai. Is that right? We loved the dinner we had there, it was on a Friday night after the auntie's performance.

Kind of surprised at the building going on. I thought the islanders weren't real keen on development.
