ππ Aloha from Maui,
I finally made it to Maui after being stranded in Portland for two days by the Alaska Airlines IT Outage last month. I'll be working on a post about what I learned and what you can do if it happens to you. (Besides taking a train instead if, ha!)
In related news, Travel + Leisure reports on the withdrawal of compensation requirements for flight delays in the US. I'm so jealous of the requirements in the EU where passengers actually do get reimbursed! I'm still waiting for a response and any compensation for the delay with Alaska.

For the past few weeks, I've caught up with food, family and friends on both Oahu and Maui. I also have been checking out what's new for visitors, including staying in a capsule hotel in Waikiki (not for the claustrophobic, but the location is amazing!) and riding the new segment of Skyline light rail that connects to Honolulu Aiport.
βI've been enjoying visiting old favorites like The Pig & The Lady's new Kaimuki location and getting my favorite ginger pork plate lunch from Pioneer Saloon, but also trying new-to-me spots like Fete and Giovedi in Chinatown, in order to bring you updates to my Honolulu Restaurant list!
Stay tuned, lots more to come! Including Thanksgiving in Istanbul... (I'll explain next week! π)
π What's usually on your table during the holidays? Is there a special dish or meal that means a lot to your family, your hometown, or in your culture?

I love learning about these things and I do read and respond to all replies, so hit reply and tell me!
