Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Howdy Folks -

No... I didn't manage to produce a word a week... But a lot of stuff happened since I started this blog - I got my Doctorate, Grant and Erica got married, I got a job, Molly and I moved to Dallas, we had a beautiful baby...

At this late date I'm going to officially sign off leaving you with the posts I made, some correspondence with Pomai of the highly-re-reccomended Tasty Island blog, and my list of notes - a review of the few posts I made... and a list of things to google/wiki/youtube until you get a handle on them... I'll see you in the islands! - Mark

(Note: given the quality of The Tasty Island - these links focus on Kawai locations/foods)

The very best Japanese and sushi restaurant on the island. A local favorite. Also, they have Tempanyaki for an exciting dining experience. You must try the Hanalei Roll or Bali Hai Bomb sushi rolls.
