First a few random images that I might have posted already…






Hiking Nounou


We have several pet-geckos for fly control. We feed them bananas, but they eat a lot of insects. Sadly our cats occasionally catch one of them. Only 2-3 live indoors at a time. They are called Madagaskar Golddust Daygeckos.

At the sailing camp

Papa’a Bay



Leilani and Didi wrote a newspaper article

I got a huge jackfruit. It was a bit smelly (all Jackfruit are at least the ripe ones) so the dogs were interested. We named it Smiky because it was smooth and spiky and I had troubles slaughtering it. Leilani commented it was not smart to name fruit and Andy, thoroughly unimpressed cut it open.

I froze 6 or 7 pounds, we ate about that much and I attempted to dehydrate 3.

The seeds are edible too, kind of taste like chestnuts. Before we boiled them, but roasted they are better. Next time I’ll take them out 5 minutes earlier.

It only took 35 phone calls to get our Kapaa chargers fixed… But in all actuality as soon as the right people understood the issues they were nice and things started moving

Leilani and I spent an extra (first) day at the Bishop Museum





At the Ala Wai Canal


We went to the IUCN World Conservation Congress










The main reason for our trip was Leilani’s participation in the “Wild Kids” IUCN World Conservation Congress Youth Symposium to work on their zero waste team

We liked Kealohi’s choice #8

In the meantime Sonja found a Tesla Roadster (Henk Rodger’s Tesla Roadster to be specific…)


Most of the wild kids that were at the symposium

We went to the Academy of Arts












Near the University, waiting for the East-West Center’s “CHINA Through The Lens of John Thomson” exhibition to open
