G&T Fueled Memories in Hilo



Last night, after a lovely meal at the waterfront, me small band of mates gathered in the patio at the hostel for a brilliant G&T.

The subject of films remembered came up and game was afoot to try and come up with most enjoyed films. As all gathered were a bit long in the tooth, the memories were many. All, this old geezer included had a different take on what was a 'popcorn moment in life'...

This old geezer is of the opinion that it is rather wicked to use a brilliant mobile to jog memories, a bit like using a dictionary whilst playing Scrabble...

With pen flying on paper and queueing up films on Netflix with aid of smart mobile, list was drawn up for future reference by two at gathering. I want to save my intro to the dear reader of the two for a later post, am a bit loathe to give up moniker for them at this point, so will only tell that they be guests of Scott. Scott being one of the mates enjoying a G&T with.

Truth be told, Hilo has a small theatre just a block down the road from the hostel. What makes the theatre so bloody brilliant is that it cost but a $1.50 to see a film there. Films that have played at main theatre before landing in the bargain theatre. Bit of a wait for some films but who is complaining.

With thumbs up and down, the G&T film critics ignored a light rain that fell. It was a most satisfying end to a most enjoyable day in Hawaii...

  1. Nothing like a little gin to moisten the brainwaves and help paint fond memories :-) Cheers to unexpected pleasures - "And raise your spirits to the sky. Raise them to Ned Devine. God bless you Ned, and may we be forever in your debt."
