Sushi anyone? Try Genki Sushi in Honolulu
By Frank | August 19, 2008
Do you ever get the taste for sushi and just have to have it, or do you think it would be like eating fish bait?
I often tell people that you have to eat it at least 3 times before you really like it. And believe it or not, the second time is the hardest. After three times, you will crave it with a cold Kirin Ichiban.
Last month when I was in Honolulu we went to a restaurant called Genki Sushi. It is definitely not authentic, but it is a fun place. Apparently it is the rage in Japan as it somewhat resembles a Japanese McDonalds.
You walk in and sit at the sushi bar. There is a conveyor belt that runs in front of each place at the bar. It has the little plates of different colors containing 2-3 pieces of sushi. You take what every kind looks good to you and at the end of the meal they count your plates and figure your bill. Each different color represents a different price.
The quality is decent and it all seemed fresh. The preparation was attractive.
This place is definitely worth visiting for fun in Honolulu. The kids and teenagers will love it.

Looking For a Cheap Flight From Houston? We Can Show You Ways to Get Cheap Tickets from Houston
By Frank | July 9, 2008
Living just outside of the Houston area has me on the lookout for cheap flights from Houston almost constantly. Continental Airlines having a hub at Bush Intercontinental Airport makes one think that all the cheap tickets from Houston would be offered mainly by Continental Airlines. That is not always the case.
By adding a connection there can be several good deals from Delta Airlines or American Airlines. While being minor carriers in the Houston area the fares can be low to selected locations around the countries. Of course, this will mean a connection in Dallas, Chicago or Miami for American or a connection in Atlanta, Salt Lake city, New York or Cincinnati for Delta. Read the rest of this entry »

Pets Need a Vacation Also
By Frank | July 1, 2008
How long has it been since your pet had a summer vacation. Well it may be too long. I know my dogs get really fatigues from laying around in the back yard all day guarding their food bowls.
The airlines have a procedure that will allow your pet to travel with you this summer in most cases. Pets can travel in several different ways. Read the rest of this entry »

Where do we eat? Where do we eat? They Have THAT in Hawaii?
By Frank | June 26, 2008
In 5 weeks from today, I am leaving for Honolulu. This years vacation will be with two young cousins that just graduated from high school. This is our graduation gift to them. My girlfriend and I will get to deal with two teenage girls. All kind of things are going through our minds at this time.
Question one. What does a middle aged couple do with two teenage girls when it is time to eat? Surprisingly, anyone having that problem will find many solutions in Hawaii. First of all, every kid, no matter the age likes a shaved Ice so I think the first thing on the list will be to go to Yamamoto’s. If nothing else, I can gross them out by getting a shaved ice with Beans on it. Read the rest of this entry »
