Hawaii!
So when you next plan a trip to Hawaii, here are some fun things to consider doing, depending on the island(s) you’re visiting. Not totally off the beaten path, but perhaps a little less common than some things folks do on the islands.
- Any island:
- find a sunset sail/cruise
- go to a Luau
- Kauai:
- Go on a Tasting Kaua’i food tour
- Maui:
- Visit the Maui Ocean Center
- Try out Maui Ku’ia Estate Chocolate
- Big Island
- Take a trip up to the top of Mauna Kea
Sunset Sail:
We’ve done this on both Maui and the Big Island. We need to go back to Kauai to do one. The photos are Lahaina, and Waikoloa x2.
Luau:
There are lots to choose from, and the good ones include a lot of Hawaiian history. The photos start with the original settlers from Tahiti, the cowboys of the Big Island (King Kamehameha was gifted with cattle), and twirling fire.
Food tour:
We went on our first one in Dublin, years ago. Since then, we have tried to see if there is one where we are. It’s a great opportunity to get out and try things you might not otherwise, meet some interesting people, and have fun. Tasting Kaua’i does several different tours on the island. We did the South Shore tour, which is a driving tour, going to several different locations around Poipu and Koloa, including Monkeypod Jam (they ship, and also teach classes), the Kickshaw food truck, and a local grocery store (poke that’s out of this world!)
Maui Ocean Center:
The ocean center is a mix of museum and interactive exhibits. The posters I’ve seen over the years are likely based on the tanks at the center, with a plethora of different fish and other marine animals. The photos are a Yellow Pualu (Surgeonfish), a black-tip reef shark, and a series of corals.
Maui Ku’ia Estate Chocolate:
The Ku’ia chocolates are made on-island, and are an intriguing mix of chocolate with island flavors. The chocolate is from either their estate plantation (which is a few miles into the hills of Maui) or Ecuador. They manufacture in their Lahaina location, which is in a little light industrial area on the west end of town, and do tastings in their upstairs lanai. You can also do a tour of the estate. The view from the lanai includes their estate. The “OMG” chocolate is a combination of blood orange, mango, and guava, and is indeed OMG. They have a variety of collections, and they were great gifts once we got home.
Mauna Kea:
The trip up to the top of Mauna Kea is a several hour long journey/tour. I recommend going with Mauna Kea Summit Adventures. They will pick you up (either side of the island), drive you with a great narrative about the areas you’re going through (Parker Ranch, etc), feed you while you acclimatize a bit to the altitude at the visitor’s center (9200′), and then take up up to the top (13,986′) for sunset. You stop again at the visitor center for star gazing, and then head back to your starting point. Well worth the time and cost. They will provide heavy coats/gloves if you didn’t bring your own, as well as carrying a pulse oximeter and supplemental oxygen. Do consider pre-treating for altitude sickness, although you’re only up at the top for about 75-90 minutes. Do bring your fancy camera and tripod for sunset and timed shots of the stars.

Exterior Paint
The exterior of mom’s house hadn’t been painted in at least 15 years. The exterior of our house was painted during the remodel, 15 years ago. Both needed some work. I contacted our general contractor from the remodel, and we ultimately selected Lance Cole Painting. Lance came out, took a look at the property, figured out how much prep work it would need (a lot), and then started at the end of August.
Power washing came first. Sanding and repairing as necessary. Priming again. We didn’t start the actual paint job until the 4th day.
We are very happy with the work, and certainly recommend Lance and his team.

Redoing the driveway
As we worked to fix the sewer, we needed to dig out a portion of the driveway for access. And we realized that there was some sort of leak in an irrigation pipe that went under the driveway. So it became evident that redoing the entire driveway made the most sense. And pavers won out over concrete in part because we could take out a section if necessary in the future without digging everything out.
After talking to a variety of folks for recommendations, getting bids, we opted to go with Saratoga Pavers. They had the paver we wanted to use in the color we wanted, and they had a nice gap in their schedule so we didn’t have a hole in the driveway for too long.
Three videos, condensing 9 hours of work each day into about 1 minute, provide a visual of the process. Then we had to wait 2 days before we could drive on it, to let the sealant cure.
Everything you didn’t want to know about sewers…
We planned mom’s memorial reception a couple of days after her birthday, in October. I was at the ASA meeting in San Diego, when I got a call from a friend about a problem at mom’s… the toilet had backed up as had the bathrub, and it was “raining” in the furnace room in the basement.
We got the plumbers (from Rayne) to clean things out, and add a new clean-out just in front of the house. It took a few days, much of which was just dealing with the office staff to get information about when the crew were coming to work.
Things were much better… and then it happened again. We realized that the pipes in the basement/furnace room needed to be replaced. So our regular plumber, Dan, did that in early January. Just in time, as the pipes practically fell apart as they were removed.
And then it happened a third time, while we were once again out of town. The guy from Rayne said that we should ‘scope the line — which we had asked them to do back in October. They showed up early, so we couldn’t see what they saw. We had to call repeatedly to get both the video and the bill. But once we had it, we could see that there were areas where the pipe was no longer straight. It could be what’s called a belly, where there is essentially a bend in the pipe, or what’s called channeling, where the bottom of the pipe is eroded away. In either case, you need to do significant work to fix it.
We weren’t sure if we would have to trench the entire line (60′ under the concrete) or could use one of the various techniques that put a new pipe down through the old one and “burst it” from the inside to keep the necessary size. Dan recommended we work with Crown Plumbing.
It took them a full day to dig everything out enough to be able to do the work. Crown came back a couple of days later to finish things off. They have a cool device that helps to pull the new pipe down through the old and then “burst” the old pipe so that the new is the same size as the original. I can’t explain more than that – but it’s sort of like what we do when we put in stents in arteries. That process took only about 3 hours. We tested, no leaks, so we are good to use all the plumbing fixtures in the house. Of course, we still have to wait for the formal inspection before we can fill in the hole again, and then will have to deal with the driveway repairs.
