Saturday Date Night

One fancy-type place that we've always wanted to visit but hadn't yet is the Kahala Resort. A while back we visited Kahala Beach Park and did some swimming, but we hadn't been inside the resort or any of their restaurants. The Kahala Resort is on the east side of Honolulu, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, but if you want to be able to escape to this resort, you certainly pay for it! It's reminiscent of the Edgewater in Madison in that it attracts a wide range of celebrity clientele from the Obamas to basketball players to Pacific Island Dignitaries, actors and musicians, and everything in between. There is a huge wall full of pictures of many of those who have visited since the resort first opened in 1964. Much of the decor is the same, but as they say, what's old is new again, so it totally works.

Will and I sat at a table on the lanai of their Veranda Lounge and enjoyed some wine flights, cheese plates, and poke of course.

After the Kahala we went off to Mud Hen Water back in our neighborhood for a cocktail. It was a perfect date night!
