When are you coming, what islands are you going to and how can I help you?
Late may to early june next year, for 12 days. First halfs gonna be in maui, second half in kauai
It just occurred to me you had mentioned you were getting married on Memorial Day weekend to me before.....hmmm.....my wife and I got married on Memorial Day weekend and went to Hawaii for a honeymoon.....first part on Maui....ended up on Kaui.....uh oh!
Okay, we should talk. I have some suggestions that you might want to look into, things to do, places you might want to stay or see. It depends on what you guys enjoy.
I have always found Kaui to be the prettiest of the Hawaiian Islands. And Maui the coolest.
And your wedding might seem like a long way off, but it will be here before you know it. We should talk on the phone in the next week, it will be easier and far more productive for you to plan the details. And it could well eliminate the dreaded "I wish I had known about that when we honymooned there" syndrome, which happens to a lot of people.
At your service, bro. And to anyone else on the forum that comes out to Hawaii. If I don't know something, I'm sure I know someone who does.

I was trying to make them more positive.Aged, Ancient, Decrepit, elderly, mature, venerable, fossil, senior, along in years, enfeebled, getting on, gray-hair, infirm, not young, olden, oldish, over the hill, past one’s prime, superannuated.....I have a thesaurus...and I'm NOT afraid to use it either
OK, most of yours are more literate....but I like NONE OF EM'....mine included......with the possible exception of Venerable

Yay, sounds awesome!
I will definitely be hitting you up on that. Not sure what day-me and my fiancee need to talk a bit first (we booked the place but still need to flesh stuff out). I'll send you a pm once I'm ready.

Made kefir pancakes for breakfast. I am sorry to say, standard American pancake, but these are way better. Here is the recipe.
Does everyone here know what kefir is? If not, you can go find it in the dairy section at the grocery store. It's a fermented milk beverage - kind of like slightly gloppy thin yogurt. I know.... sounds unappetizing, but it's actually delicious just to drink and quite good for your gut culture. DO NOT buy the flavored ones - get the plain kind. As with so many products in America (yogurt is one), kefir with fruit flavoring is oversugared and will throw off your baking chemistry. So, just get plain kefir.
Ingredients:
- kefir - 2 cups
- all-purpose flour - 2 cups
- sugar - 2 tablespoons
- salt - 1/2 teaspoon
- baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
- olive oil - 3 tablespoons
- egg - 1
Prep:
1. Beat the egg and the sugar in a large bowl, slowly add kefir - keep mixing. A medium-size whisk is best for this.
2. Add salt and olive oil and stir some more.
3. Mix flour and baking soda separately (you can do it while measuring off your flour), then add them to the bowl with the other ingredients.
4. Whisk the whole thing thoroughly until there are no clumps.
5. Heat up a cast iron pan on medium, then turn down to medium-low.
6. Lubricate the pan with butter. (If you have lard - use lard. That's what we did in Ukraine - cut off a piece of lard and kept it handy on a fork, smearing it over the pan in between batches.)
7. Use a large deep cooking spoon to measure off your batter - not a ladle, that's too big. Carefully pour batter into the pan - you should be able to fit in three of them.
8. Cover the pan - the pancakes will rise better and be floofier. Cook roughly 2-3 minutes per side. Use a big spatula to flip. (I have a huge wooden one for this - it's AWESOME. So much better than plastic).
9. Serve plain or with whatever you want. (Today, we had them with smoked sausage on the side and topped them with home-made strawberry-blackberry syrup.)

@gpseymour is leaving me at home unattended, without adult supervision today. I might make a seafood salad.

I'm not a fan of seafood salad...so...you can have my share
I'd have to blow up the sink. Maybe the whole room.
