Random Thoughts …

Sunday, July 11: Leisure day. For breakfast we tried the leftover carnitas and rice and beans burrito, yummy. After dinking around in the morning, we headed to Kona to pick up my new iPhone 4 and the electric grill at Macy’s and groceries at Safeway.

We returned for Ahi BBQ dinner from Village Market. The price at Safeway was ＄18.99/lb, while here at the market it was ＄13.99/lb. It pays to comparison shop!

After dinner, I sync’ed my new iPhone 4 with my last iPhone 3G synch and all is well. It is much faster and the process at the Kona AT&T store was actually pretty painless. The assistant even applied the screen protector for me, their cases were rinky-dink, but I have temporary protection!

Saturday, July 10: Felt much better this morning, actually by last night. We decided to go to the beach finally and picked A-Beach to hang out. We had the mango-macadamia nut Hula Girl pancake mix for breakfast. We realized that we need some kind of electric griddle to make pancakes and heat up the tortillas.

Left about 10:30 and spent the morning down at the beach. Had a sandwich from the stand on the beach and they told us that anyone can use the chairs on the beach in front of the Marriot, that we didn’t have to bring our own. Cool to know!

We were thirsty for a Mai-Tai, so we headed to the Marriot bar by the pool and had 2 each and some french fries. Sandy really was hoping for a cheeseburger grilled on a BBQ for lunch so this was second best.

Back to the beach for more relaxing and a litle snooze. We decided to leave and see if we could make Mass at 5:00 p.m. We did, and then decided to try our Tres Hombres in Kawaihea for Mexican Food. Sandy tried the chicken enchilida and shredded beef taco while I tried the carnitas. Both were quite good and we were pleasantly surprised.

We concluded our marathon first season of “24″ with the last 2 episodes. I’m not sure what people saw in this show.
