Okay - first of all - I love it when Craig posts the blog entry. His posts are fresh and funny and make me want to read more - even if his spelling and facts recall isn't always entirely accurate. Mine are, on the other hand, factual but probably boring. Oh well.
Craig left out our dining option for Saturday night - that would be Outback, which just like Chili's is right near the resort. So it has convenience going for it - and predictability - except the prices. Overall we must say the prices in most of our favorite restaurants here on the island make us squeeze our belts a little tighter. Our usual dish - the Alice Springs Chicken is like $6 more than it would be at home so we opted for something else from the menu that night. Everything in Hawai'i is more expensive. Guess it takes more gas to get the goods here, huh?
And while we are adding and/or correcting facts - the crab legs, while they were good, were NOT Alaskan King Crab Legs. There is nothing like those. These were quite respectable but were Dungeness. Just wanted to set the record straight. :)
The other aspect of our mini kitchen I wanted to mention was the lack of any tupperware or storage items - probably because there would be no room to store anything in the mini frig anyway! You must understand - the kitchen in the one bedroom unit was fully stocked with anything and everything you would ever need (though there are some Pampered Chef items they could use - who do I contact for that!!?) However, in this mini wanna be kitchenette, there are two plates, two of each eating utensil, two bowls and two cups - that's about it. All that to say we have become very grateful for our lonely, lidless tupperware bowl given to us by Mrs. Dreier last week. She gave us some lovely smelling flowers from one of her trees (not plumeria - something else) and placed them in the bowl to transport them back to the resort. That bowl has become priceless - holding everything from Craig's oatmeal in the morning to his salad for lunch that I'm about to bring out to him poolside (such service!)
So since the post was about the small things I thought we should also add our thanks for the small things like a lidless tupperware bowl that makes all the difference.
Mahalo for our bowl!
