Day 2: Pasty eats paradise: I knew that heaven would be filled with empty carbs

My day began at 4 am, my body still on the rhythm of Mountain Standard Time.  Abby and I were determined to enjoy the pineapple/coconut pancakes of the Hulu Grill so Scott reluctantly joined us on our 1 mile walk to the Outrigger hotel.  It was so worth the wait, buttermilk fluffiness, each layer coated with chopped coconut and bits of pineapple, served with creamy coconut syrup.

By necessity our day was filled with unpacking, grocery shopping and the mundane tasks of settling in.  Our condo already feels more comfy.  A rogue storm system swept over the islands that evening, wind and rain suddenly engulfed our ocean facing rooms soaking our bed and blowing over the lanai furniture.  It was exciting and Abby is hoping for a repeat. 

 The day ended for me as it began, eating a huge plate of loco moco.  Bed of rice, topped with a saucer size hamburger patty, smothered with beef gravy and garnished with two eggs over easy.  I know, take a moment.  It was a religious experience for me as well.
