Day 5
Atlanta BBQ Pork and Chicken?
the last time i got stuck in atlanta on the way back from mexico, i did a blog and forgot to post it. here it is:
i was walking around at 9pm last night to eat dinner and it was still lighted outside. i was so hungry and was looking for a good meal. a few guys at my hotel told me that Joe’s is the best!
so i was really excited to eat a very good american meal. i just wanted anything except tacos! so i start off with a corona and wait for my bbq pork and chicken meal.
this is what i got served! OMG!!! it was the worst dinner i’ve eaten in years! i ate 2 bites, payed $25, and left very disappointed. i’m really homesick now.
the only thing that kept me happy was my bed last night. i just wish i didn’t have to get up at 5:30am to go to the airport. wish me luck to get home! it’s going to be along day of traveling again.
Go-Party 2011
gosh, i can’t believe 3 years already went by since the crazy Go-Naminori party on top of the ilikai hotel. i had these photos sitting on my desktop in a folder and thought i’d post them before i lose them.
the preparations took all day long. Halekulani chef Craig Sako and his assistant Shaden worked hard and provided over a 100 hungry surfers with the best food i’ve ever eaten at a party.
little by little people started to show up. i had a feeling that a lot of people were coming because i invited every japanese surfer on the island.
Seth and Isaiah came early to help hang the signs all over the hotel pointing everybody to the party.
by 7pm, it was full house!
we had live okinawan music, happy people, dancing, great food, and awesome memories. i still can’t believe we didn’t get kicked out by security because we were making so much noise.
yes, there was beauty everywhere. meet the surfer girls.
people came and went, food was prepared and gone, and all i remember was waking up the next morning with a big headache and a very messy penthouse. it took hours and hours to clean and after that morning, i told myself that i’d never do this again. but 3 years went by and i think it’s time for another Go-Naminori party?
my dear friend Holli made this for the party. Holli always supporting me no matter what. that’s what real friends are for.
anyway, i’m thinking of planning a huge party again. and next time, i’m going to invite the world! Go-Naminori!
