Wow, a month has flown by since my last entry. From June 28 to July 11 we were on vacation in Honolulu (my home town). Justin got to meet most of his relatives on my side for the first time. He loved the new environment — fresh air, lots of open spaces, and perfect weather. Took us all a few days to get adjusted to the new time zone (18 hours behind Hong Kong time). In the first few days we also pigged out on all our local favorites: Yami Yogurt at Ala Moana shopping center, tuna sushi rolls at Kozo Sushi (on King's Street), lau laus and lomi lomi salmon (just from Safeway supermarket at first, then from Young's Fish Market), malasadas (Portuguese-style doughnuts) at Leonard's Bakery (on Kapahulu Avenue), waffle hotdogs and "Ono Ono shakes" at KC Drive Inn (also on Kapahulu Avenue), custard pie from Dee Lite bakery, chili from Zippy's, and Coco Puffs (a cream puff with special frosting on the top) from Liliha Bakery. We enjoyed lunches, dinners, shopping, and just hanging out with family and friends (Kenny Lee, Keith & Nalani Yoshida's family, and Leslie Lum). At times it was hectic — we were constantly on the go and spent quite a bit of time just on the road getting to places (traffic has gotten really bad). Still, we managed to make it out to the Waikele factory outlets 3 times (still wasn't enough for Gwen though!). Justin did not like Sandy Beach, Waikiki Aquarium, or the Honolulu Zoo but he did enjoy the pool at the Waialae Country Club which was quite a surprise. Will be putting up new photos in our Gallery section real soon. I'm 4 months behind in updating that!
