Hawaii 2026 - Saturday Morning

 Saturday, January 10, 2026

Dale and I were up around 3:00 am (which woulda been 7 am Central Standard Time which would be considered sleeping in for us) and couldn't get back to sleep. Around 3: 40 we decided to kill time by taking a walk. We didn't really see anyone else for a couple hours except for a couple at the water station in the lobby.  Anway, long story longer, we got the hotel's all you can eat buffet when they opened at 7:00 am. It was delicious and probably tasted even more so since we were both ravenous. We should have brought some granola bars with us incase something like this happened. This shot reminds me of the lobby in the Hotel of High Anxiety. If you squint you can imagine seeing Mel Brooks in the top elevator. 


While we were eating a couple of birds came to sit with us but they wouldn't get more than a foot and a half away. I dropped a little rice for them but they wouldn't come any closer despite looking to be rather comfortable. Eventually and obnoxious pigeon came by, pushed them out of the way, and gobbled up a couple of pieces of rice about an inch away from my shoe. What an ASS. 


Warren and Gary eventually came down and joined us for coffee and we made some plans for the rest of the day. There's a tiki bar in our future. 

On our walk we could see Molokai...


...and Lanai in the distance. This was actually really cool. When we were in Hawaii 25 years ago for Pete's wedding I don't remember being able to see other island from Honolulu or even the north part of the Island for that matter.
