Hawaii - day 1

I am staying in one of the University of Hawaii's converted 'no frills' dorm rooms. The rate is fantastic when compared to real tourist hotels but the location and parking are drawbacks. I have to park my little rental about a mile off campus which adds some extra steps for my tired sightseeing feet,
I woke up this morning with a twitchy eye - it might be because I played too many Cookie Jam games on the plane or the 6 hr time difference. But the mattress is good so hopefully the twitch will go away.

Since I have never been fortunate enough to previously visit the "islands". I am making Cynthia do most of the touristy things. Today we went to Leonards Bakery, Dole Plantation, Giovanni's Shrimp Scamp Food Truck, and the Polyonesiam Cultural Center (with buffet). Am I sightseeing or eating my way thru Hawaii?
The "donuts" are very eggy and warm with flavored sugar on the outside.


Everything pineapple..... Ice cream was the best!


Look at the huge chunks off roasted garlic! 


Not sure how it could be called a "Truck" it didn't looked like it had been moved in months.
