New Year on the Big Island

By -
After our exhausting New Year's Eve, we decided to take New Year's Day off to sleep in, relax and plan for the rest of our stay on the big island. Another reason why we decided to take it easy today was because all of the places we were interested in seeing were basically closed today.

We only went out to have dinner at Sansei north of Kona. We found out when we got there that dinner was half price if you sat down by six. We arrived just before happy hour ended at six, but did not get seated until afterward and so we got no discount.

In any case, we went for the sushi platter since we had read how good the food was here (and at a reasonable price too). Well,the sushi was.. interesting. Maggie was not a fan of some of the pieces that we got, mainly the ones that were tough and actually tasted like a cut of beef - tendons and all! It was not terrible, but it was not something that we were expecting. Considering that we were expecting to eat melt in your mouth fish it was quite disappointing.

In addition, we were too poor to really enjoy a cone of soft ice cream when it did show up so I never built up that sense of tradition that others would share with their children. As suck, when the truck does drive by, I don't rush out to grab a cone for my kids. Also, the pandemic does not help either. Still, maybe one day this summer we will indulge our kids. Maybe. Oh, but that was beside the point. Today I heard the ringing of a bell. This was not the sound I'm used to for an ice cream truck so I decided to investigate with Serena. As the truck drive by, I wondered to myself how such a small truck could be used to sell ice cream much less any kind of food. But then it dawned on me: this was not a food tru

We were planning on going to the beach this morning but our plans got derailed when Serena stomped on Elsy's face and we had to wait for the bleeding to stop. It took so long that there was a chance we needed to go to the hospital. In the end, we thought it too risky to leave the house this morning lest the gusher started again, and so we set up the water table at home instead.

So it seems as if the link I had to the Polynesian Cultural Centre was flagged as a bad site. I double checked the link and, yup, I got a warning when I tried to visit it. I double checked if the link was changed and no, the search and Wikipedia still point to the same page so.. I just removed the link. We will see how the repost goes.
