Airfare, schmarefare! me and G are going to the Hilton Waikoloa Village for the Great Waikoloa Food, Wine, and Music Festival. It's a benefit for the Children's Hospital and the Pacific Marine Research Institute.
Basically all the best chefs on the island get together and make a bunch of food and you go eat it and drink copiously while listening to Ray "GhostBusters" Parker Jr, and Jeffrey Osborne, who Grant is still trying to explain to me. I keep thinking he's Billy Ocean. Grant keeps thinking he's James Ingram. Anybody remember this dude from the 80s? at any rate, I'm looking forward to the food and booze, and especially to taking a mahogany boat thru the flower-ridden waterways to our room. Apparently this place is so big (or its guests so lazy) that you have to get around its 62 acres by tram or by boat.
And they have a dolphin show, for god's sake. Maybe you can check us out on the live webcam.
I'm a little princess. :) Pix to follow! Next week is a much different excursion: the 18-mile r/t hike to Waimanu Valley via the Muliwai Trail.
