12/10/09 Jill and Shannon Visit - Day 1

Tony and I picked up Jill and Shannon from Honolulu Airport on Thursday afternoon. We greeted them at the gate with Leis and lots of hugs! They were excited to get off the plane and to be in the warm, warm weather.

We brought them to our apartment, and within 15 minutes they were changed into their swimsuits and headed to the beach with Tony to hit the waves.

Shannon was craving some good sushi, so I took them to Doraku Sushi, at the Royal Hawaiian Center. On our way to dinner, we stopped to hang out with some parrots!

 

 

 

 

Tony and Jill both ordered Chicken Teriyaki - but impressively, both tried Shannon's and my sushi! Shannon and I shared 4 rolls - the Doraku Roll (my favorite next to Saki's Lasagna Roll), Shrimp Tempura Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll and a New Style Doraku Roll. Our table and food took a little while, so the manager brought over an extra roll of sushi for us - which Tony really liked! All of us were stuffed to the gills when we left!

We made it an early evening, heading back to the apartment after dinner, because a busy day awaited us on Friday.
