The general manager of the Molokai Hotel assured me last night that the restaurant, which is presently under re-construction, will be ready in 8 weeks, or at least by Christmas, and he guarantees it. Emphatically. Which will most likely make a huge difference in the experience at this hotel; I can see lunches around the pool and evening dinners at oceanside. At the moment, there really are no hotels on the island that offer an onsite restaurant service. People generally stop by the bar for a drink on their way to dinner somewhere. Many of the other restaurants in the closest town, Kaunakakai, do not serve alcohol. But the travelers who come to Molokai do not seem to mind much. They're not here to be pampered and spoiled, and crowds are not their thing. Some are like me, a Sacramento REA... 01/06/2015

My husband is forever correcting people who call a "death notice" an "obituary." But people don't know, and he shouldn't try to hold them accountable when they don't work for a newspaper. Yet he is right, a death notice vs a obituary are two distinct types of published information in a newspaper about a person who has died. An "obit" is generally written by a staff member on the paper, and it's reserved for a person of distinction in the community or , in some cases, a celebrity. My mother had an obit published after she died, and the reporter for the Star Tribune interviewed me. My father, on the other hand, did not. His horrid little family in Arizona didn't even tell his original family when he finally kicked the bucket. A death notice is a paid advertisement submitted and paid for b... 01/04/2015

The muffin I am eating for breakfast says on the wrapper that it has 220 calories per portion and serves two, so I am consuming 440 calories in a lousy muffin when for that amount I could be stuffing Black Forest German Chocolate cake with Devil's Food Frosting down my throat. But it is food, so I am trying not to complain much. At my location in Molokai, there are no restaurants and also no cellphone service for me. We had a huge storm last night that battered houses, pounded the harbor; the wind whirled, whistled much of the night, puddles of water appeared all over my bathroom floor and dripped down over the door -- I closed that door, shut my eyes and pulled a pillow over my head. This morning, the ocean is very muddy, and there is a ton of seaweed and stuff deposited along the shor... 01/03/2015

Stumbling upon, quite unexpectedly this morning, the snack machine on the path to other rooms at Hotel Molokai was a sheer surprise. Tucked away under a hut. Why, we have Molokai coconut water available for a buck, ten, and let's not forget those tasty goldfish treats, cholesterol-free yogurt nuts and Classic Lay's Potato Chips. I discovered it on my way back from breakfast -- where I had luckily scored a plastic spoon to add to my growing collection of plastic utensils, necessary for survival. Also, grabbed an apple for a late afternoon snack. All of this happened after wondering when I woke up, why does it say December 15th as the date on my computer? It says 1/2/15. Why is there a cat in the litterbox next door for soooo long. Oh, wait, it's housekeeping sweeping the deck. Time chang... 01/02/2015
