Last night I went to the Ilikai Hotel with my buddys, John Ho and Eric Morrison - John does a lot of work for Continental Pacific, owns 3 restaurants in Santa Barbara, CA, was at one time a Navy SEAL and is the reigning Chinese golf champion of Oahu; an interesting and hard-working fellow who owns a very nice home not far from Jere's mansion - The Ilikai is the hotel where they shot the intro to Hawaii Five 0 and it still has the '60's retro look to it - By the way, Hawaii Five-0 replays come on every night here and it is still a claim-to-fame for native Hawaiians - We went to the Italian restaurant at the top, Sarento's, which was great in all respects - I am attaching my I-Phone photos (still don't have my digital here) that show the view to the west 20 minutes or so before sunset - They had a great piano player and it was a good view for the Friday night fireworks show from Waikiki beach which is quite an anticipated event for most everyone in Honolulu,
