Aloha, my tomodachi! It was great to be back at Lulu’s last night … big mahalos go out to Pat, Sae, Shion, Robin, Claire, Miyuki, Kiyoko, Emiko, and Hiromi for coming down! The
biggest surprise of the night was when I was presented with a lei made out of bags of Cheezas!! Our good friend, Hiroyuki, made it and instructed Kiyoko to present it to me last night – of course everyone got a big kick out of it and took thousands of pictures!! Mahalo, Hiroyuki, for the most unique omiyage gift ever! It was AWESOME! (Sorry for the bad picture quality … was using my iPhone because the battery in my camera died … sigh!) I shared some of my Cheeza lei with the people there and everyone loved them … I tell you, if you love cheese like I do, you’re gonna go absolutely bonkers over these little crackers!
We’ll be at the Kani Ka Pila Grille tonight so it should be another fun evening … lots of friends and family coming down! I played squash yesterday for the 2nd time since injuring my wrist several months ago, and it’s a little sore this morning. ITTAI DESU! I’m playing golf 
this morning so I hope I don’t end up injuring it again … that would be a real bummer!
Aloha, “D”
Am very glad you like my present, and so glad you that its unique one. Thanks for your compliment. I personally selected the Gorgonzola cheeza because Dad`s favourite flavour. I have another surprise for you, cant wait for you to come to Japan very soon.
