The cheese ravioli requires another marinara sauce to make it edible. Yes we shlpped sauce on our 14 mile hike

The spaghetti and meatballs is edible as is.

Beautiful pics and really enjoy the TR layout. Which camera do you use and did you arrange with the hotel for kosher food?

Thanks.

I use the Sony a6000.

Nope, we brought ten meals from POM.

Amazing pics and TR.
Kalalau has been on the bucket list for quite some time.

Thanks. Frankly, it was a stupendous hike. And, not that I would do it, but if you're adventurous, I saw a guy and his wife doing the trail, and he had their infant in one of those backpack things like this:

That looks like an ad.

Okay, good. Hawaii was beginning to look *too* picture-perfect and I was starting to have doubts that the place really exists

Realized I forgot Shabbas...

Shabbas:

In general, our vacation Shabbas plans include reading, drinking, and lounging by the pool. And Shabbas at GHK was no exception. Given that the GHK has a bajillion pools, a saltwater lagoon, and a beach it was quite easy to find a place to relax, despite the fact that the 602-room resort was 95%+ occupied.

Also, as a Diamond Amenity, they gave us a $50 cabana by the beach that was reserved for just us, so that made it even easier.

Also, because February is part of whale season, we spent about an hour from the main GHK deck just watching dozens and dozens of humpback whales spout air, breach, and frollick in the water. An amazing sight for those who visit during the winter season.

This must be some kind of record. Not only is this the first AJK TR in recent memory that's actually moving along, but he's posting so fast that he's actually skipping days!

I'm fielding pressure from the wife "we need to just do exactly what they (Mr/Mrs AJK) did..." and for that, i need a TR, or more than a 5 minute conversation at your door in shorts in a snowstorm.

Tougher than the Kalalau Trail? Examples please.
