Walking distance? Yes. (Well, easy walking distance. I could walk Ripples or the bars on Broadway, but... I don't think so.)

Not Afraid · 03-28-2009, 11:50 AM

Ripples seems to be quite a walk but the Mine Shaft or Paradise would be easy. Silver Fox is crawling distance.

JWBear · 03-28-2009, 12:04 PM

Or staggering distance...

Why? I don't think they are offended by that sort of behavior.

Today we had Scrambled Eggs a la Bear (really creamy and lovely – I do them in the Microwave, and the folks travelling to Yosemite are going to get a taste of them) and then we walked to the Honolulu Zoo along the road closest to the beach (Kuhio). The water was as still as a pond, and looked really quite tranquil.

On the way we stopped for some Hawaii shot glasses at the markets, and Rob got a fridge magnet saying “Milk Sucks – Got Margaritas?”

We then found the Zoo, which was closer than we had expected.

We enjoyed the Zoo very much. It was funny to see the Kookaburras in cages like a strange and unusual exhibit, as I used to provide titbits for a family of 4 of them back home (when growing up in North Rocks) and so I had a good chuckle. The Kookaburra didn’t laugh back. What a Jackass.

The Lion unfortunately was no longer in residence. Due to declining quality of life the zoo has sent him to Lion Heaven

. We did see a Red Cardinal, though.

Lunch at the zoo - OMG – SPAM Musubi. YUM!!!. I must have Hawai’ian blood in me, because I LOVE SPAM. I even bought a cookbook (getting ahead of myself –this was on Sunday) called “Hawai’i Cooks With SPAM.” I truly kid you not. Stoat’s horrified (“What a preservative thought the Stoat”).

Anyhoo, we finished up at the zoo, bought some flashing keychains as souvenirs (solar powered, they’ll provide years of amusement “So we won’t forget our names said the Stoat”) and then headed out to the nearest beachside bar for Mai Tai’s at Lulu’s Waikiki. There was a happy hour going, so we got them for $5 each. We’re convinced now that HI doesn’t build drinks as strong as in CA.

We then walked to the Pink Palace (Royal Hawaiian Hotel) and tried to buy a Pink Bathrobe. No Way Jose. Not even if you’re staying there. They’ve stopped selling them, which is really a missed marketing opportunity.

We then got back to the hotel and called Not Afraid to see how she was going, and if we could speak to Thurston. He was in the shower, but Lisa was happy to chat to us. Then we got dolled up, left mum in the unit with strict instructions not to drink all the Tequila, and went to the Aloha Bears bar night at Tapas Lanai Bar. The gentleman we had talked to all the way from Sydney to Honolulu on the plane just happened to be the barman there, so we got some good deals on drinks that night Hehehe.

We ordered Pork Quesadillas for Pu-Pu’s (hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe, I said Pu-Pu’s

) and met some wonderful guys. We got invited to a party the following night, but alas we weren’t able to make it on the day. Pity, as it was a Weenies and Buns party.

Brad came over to the bar to see us, and we ended the evening catching up with him, which was great fun to do, as we never got to know Mr Cricket all that well last trip.

Got home too late for spa
Made margarine-as

Went to bed.

Say Honolulu Zoo three times, and click your heels.

Sounds like great fun, Lash. Also sounds warm- you're gonna be freezing your paws off up here!
