Splitsville!

I gotta write super-fast since Blospot has not been cooperating with me these past couple of days!

Most of today was spent in a conference, which for the most part was pretty good. Especially the lunch part! The hotel food was surprisingly good, and you really can't beat mainland fruits and vegetables. Most of the stuff you get in Hawaii, especially things like berries, suck.

Anyway, tonight we started out with a conference-related reception. Again, good food: mini beef wellingtons, mini chicken quesadilla rolls, really good cheese, fruit, veggies, and spring rolls. Then we decided to venture to a place called Channelside. But it was pouring, so we caught a taxi. It only took us about 5 minutes to get there. Channelside is an entertainment complex, pretty similar to Aloha Tower. And just as dead. Which is really sad, because it seems like a really cool place. There are a number of hotels in the area, so I'm not sure why more people don't go there. It appears that some places close pretty early too. I guess that's what happens in downtown locations.

Anyway, so we went to a place called Splitsville. It was a bowling alley, pool hall, and bar, all in one. The layout was quite weird, with the pool tables right BETWEEN the bowling lanes! We decided to shoot some pool and have a drink while we were there, before they got taken over by a private party. After that, we headed over to Hooters. Believe it or not, I've always wanted to try their buffalo wings. We got the boneless chicken, fried pickles, and a steak quesadilla. It was all pretty tasty, as was the mojito!

Enough for today. Tomorrow is another conference day, and hopefully a trolley and street car ride to Ybor City tomorrow night!
