Ono Grinds Tip: Isles Café in Hilo! Yummy! Located right next door to the Hilo fish market next to Queen Lili park (so you know they have great fresh fish!). My favorite is the Ahi Plate with double tossed salad and sesame dressing! So good! But you have to get there before 2:00, that’s when they close their doors…

Its that time of year again! Graduation is coming (in some cases it all ready came) and school is out for the summer in another week...my kids have been making fantastic plans for at least a month now! Said plans consist of how much sleeping, eating, video watching, swimming/girl watching, and general horsing around they can fit into each day! My girlfriends always look at me as if I have sprouted a third head, but I love it when the kids are on summer break...I do every thing I can to take some time off, load them & the crew up and road trip somewhere (its an island, we can only go so far before we come right back!), but its usually someplace near the water. Take some time with the family this summer! Be spontaneous & just go! Have fun and for heavens sake turn off the video player in the car...some of our favorite family memories are of the silly car games you play when on trips with kids!

One of my favorite places for lunch is Leungs Chop Suey House, I have not eaten the Chop Suey yet, but my all time favorite is their roast pork, big chunks of Chinese style crispy pig...yummy! The lemon chicken is tender and tangy, while the roast duck is flavorful and juicy! The Char Sui is extra tasty as well. Oh, and they make the best Won Ton Min I have ever had and in many different varieties...some with duck others with won tons and choi, lots to choose from! And very affordable...Aloha!

Well, we are almost into our new office! Hopefully we will be moving in this coming week. I can't wait! It is going to be beautiful...Travertine tile, new paint, new windows, custom work stations with solid wood end caps and of course the gorgeous custom table made from Cypress wood. It truly is a work of art.

And the technology equipment, whoo boy! Digital senders, 20" flat screen monitors, big screen monitor for the conference room, on line transaction management, network sharing, sound reduction headsets...its going to be a sweet place. As you can tell I am really looking forward to it!

Please feel free to ask me questions...and the next time you are in Hilo town enjoy lunch at Ocean Sushi Deli, fantastic sushi at a reasonable price with fair portions (could be bigger but I'm just greedy!). The Volcano roll is great and the spicy tuna is to die for! Aloha Oi!
