Hawaii 2021

Posts from our trip to Hawaii in October and November 2021. We visited Oahu, Hawaii (the Big Island), and Maui. This was our first trip (flying) after the COVID pandemic started in 2020.


Today was “beach day”. First stop: the black sand beaches of Punalu’u. It was like no other beach I’ve ever seen. (Punalu‘u, HI)

Dinner last night was Black Rock Pizza. I can’t say it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had, but it’s way above average. They have local beer, a really nice patio in the back, and the pepperoni rolls are outstanding. If I were local, I’d be happy to be a regular. ?

A question for people more familiar with Hawaii than me: When I see someone flying this flag, are they making a political statement? Just showing their pride in being Hawaiian? Something else?
