This day was mainly focused on Thanksgiving.

Started off the day by going to KTA to buy groceries and alcohol for Thanksgiving dinner. Also grabbed poke for lunch / snack from KTA. You can find the details here: http://food.johnmatienzo.com/?p=1156

After KTA, we spent a couple of hours at On the Rocks, since Ben has not been before, and I definitely wanted him to check out the view. Here are the details: http://food.johnmatienzo.com/2020/11/25/on-the-rocks/

We then got back to our AirBnB to make the food for Thanksgiving dinner. I made bacon Mac and cheese, plus regular Mac and cheese (both from the “deluxe” version of Kraft Dinner). Ben made meatballs (and regular meatballs) plus spaghetti.

For Thanksgiving dinner, we headed to Brittany’s place. Pictures can speak for themselves 🙂

Hawaii – Kona Day 9

This day was used to explore the eateries / bars in Holualoa.

Started off by going to a “dive” bar called Humpy’s Big Island Alehous, which has a really good view of the water. Of course I ordered the Pina Colada. Here are the details: http://food.johnmatienzo.com/2020/11/25/humpys-big-island-alehous/

Next, we stopped by a place with an even more dope view, a place called On the Rocks. Had lunch there, with a mai tai. Here are the details: http://food.johnmatienzo.com/2020/11/25/on-the-rocks/

Needed to get some orange juice and tide detergent, so ended up going to a Hawaii convenient store chain called “ABC”.

After some solid morning/lunch drinking, decided to get some coffee at a HiCo. Got an iced mocha, which was really delicious. Here are the details: http://food.johnmatienzo.com/2020/11/25/hico/

We then chilled at Janie’s place for a bit (which is where the sunset picture is from), and then had dinner / tried Kava at Kanaka Kava: http://food.johnmatienzo.com/2020/11/25/kanaka-kava/

After drinking kava, we chilled at the volleyball courts for a bit at the same complex the Kava and Island Lava Java places were at.

Ended off the night drinking back at Janie’s place, where we played a game called Therapist (basically two rules are made up and two people designated as the therapists have to try and guess the rules). Great game.
