Hawaiian Cuisine at the Shorebird

Take a good long look at that beautiful skewered shish kebab. Have you taken in it's juicy, stunning, stacked wonderment? A few of these babies along with the biggest buffet I have ever ingested in my life is what we found at the 
in beautiful Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii. Waikiki restaurants are notorious for being supremely busy and after trying unsuccessfully to get onto wait lists for up to an hour, a woman randomly came up to us noticing our frustration, and pointed us in the direction of this perfect little restaurant. Thank you foodie angel.  All of the following was experienced right on the oceans edge, on the beach with a side of fireworks! Perfect night out.

From their webpage:

Here’s how it works
Steaks and seafood come to the table fresh on a platter. Guests are directed to the grill where they are provided with a variety of seasonings to completely customize the flavor of their entrees. Cooking times are clearly displayed at the grill along with a large clock to ensure perfection
All of our entrees include an expansive salad bar, which showcases more than 25 items, including fresh greens, garnishes, fruits, lomi lomi salmon, rice, bread, pasta and other local favorites. This is a meal in and of itself.
The buffet features items like our Hawaiian-style beef stew, home style chili, pasta, soup of the day, four-bean salad, fresh fruits, plus daily special entrees. 
Crazy blurry picture but that's what happens when you are being lit by tiki torches :)

Hilo, Hawaii = Paradise on Earth

They left me! Ah the woes of ship solitude.
But we had the most memorable time. :) On our last day we were in Hilo...The main island that is known as the most “unattractive island”. Riiiiight. If that is what they claim, you can very well see why the Hawaiian islands are truly paradise on earth. 


We have vowed to come back to Hawaii the next time without a cruise boat so at the end of the day we don’t have to worry about getting back to our hotel that will leave if we don’t get back on time. We want to hike, bike, camp and explore to our hearts content someday. Until then Hawaii, my heart is always with you!

OH Oahu I Love You

The best of nature, a stunning coastline, and brilliant beaches contrasted with the best of city life in Honolulu. We rented a jeep to circle the island (not the first time I have done this nor will it be the last) because it is the best way to take in Oahu beauty. We went back to the Northshore, ate the best shrimp on the planet and ended the day at Waikiki beach.
this is where I began my love for seafood ten years ago!
YUMMMMMM
SO Handsome...

High on Hawaii!!!!

Still wish I was here with the hubs too, but had a great time with my BFF's in glorious Hawaii! We had an action packed day at the Dole Plantation, lunch and beach on the North Shore, a stunning drive around the island, a little shopping at Ala Moana mall and dinner back at Waikiki Beach.We had a COMPLETELY INSANE trip getting back to the ship that involved getting lost, ending up on a military base, asking a random man to get in the car with us, abandoning a car and almost missing the ship. Let's just say it was a day and night to remember.
