Both the restaurant attached to my motel, Splashers, and one next to it,
Paradise, overlook Kailua Bay. Either would seem to be a great spot for my
final Hawaiian breakfast. Thinking that Paradise might be a slightly
better choice for photos, I ate at Splashers yesterday and saved Paradise
for today. To make sure I could finish packing and get to the airport on
time I planned to eat breakfast as early as possible. I was actually in
front of my chosen a couple of minutes before the posted 7:00 opening.
About a quarter after, with the doors still closed and chairs visible atop
tables, I called. There had been a major catastrophe, I learned, and it
was uncertain when they would open. No problem, I thought, and headed to
Splashers for a repeat. There the dining room was all ready but they had
no gas and could only offer coffee and toast until 8:00. I don't believe
the two problems were connected but I don't know that for certain. In any
case, I headed up the street looking for the first place serving breakfast.
The winner was Fish Hopper, the site of yesterday's Zombie consumption. There was no mermaid out front this morning but I did see a fellow walking shoulder to shoulder with his dachshund. The background was decent and the meal was excellent. It looks pretty good in the full table photo but looks even better here. |

I have to say that the entrance to the Kona airport isn't a scene that
makes you want to leave. I arrived in plenty of time but rather than
wasting time in an isolated air conditioned waiting area, I was able to
sit outside, watch my plane arrive, then walk to it.

By contrast, this picture shows just one of a string of moving sidewalks I
used to get from one terminal to another in Chicago. The non-moving part
of the walk exceeded the moving part. My other stop, Los Angeles, was
quite bland but the walk between gates was shorter.

I arrived safely in Dayton and eventually so did my luggage. My ride was
waiting. Looks like this vacation is over.
