DEF “HAWAIIAN SUCKER PUNCH 2012” TOUR, PART 2: WASHING THE PENGUINS

Now that I’ve had a decent meal, a pina colada and six hours of sleep, I think maybe my previous post was a little heavy.

To be sure, I’m still not crazy about hotel resorts. On the other hand, that shouldn’t reflect on Hawaii, which I know something about historically, if not what it’s like to actually live here, and – at least on the surface – it seems like a pretty cool place (at least compared to, say, Florida).

Besides, the Hilton Hawaiian Village does have a few good things going for it.

Like penguins.

That said, I’m not all that crazy about penguins being kept captive, either. It makes me think of a penguin penal colony.

On the other hand, penguins kick ass. So I’m conflicted there.

Penguin lost,
