Our last day on Oahu. After getting ready to leave, I gobbled down the last of the stash of super-delicious island-grown watermelons. Soon enough, we made the final drive from the North Shore to Honolulu.<\/p>\n

Our separate flights — the rest of the family to Seattle, myself to Hilo — departed within a few minutes of each other, so I hung out with them in their departure terminal until they began boarding.

It happened to be Farmers’ Market Day in downtown Hilo town, and so I eagerly ate down the first bunch of what would prove to be several hundreds of my new favourite banana — the Big-Island-grown Williams. Fucking delish, mang!<\/p>\n
