0:18
staying at a water park I believe it is
0:21
attached to the water park somewhere
0:24
over in that direction somewhere over
0:27
that way or that way I probably should
0:29
look at the coordinates to figure out
0:31
exactly where it was called Chiefs luha
0:34
luau Royal
0:37
experience is a little later in the day
0:39
in fact you could see the sun is right
0:42

0:43
next hour

I'm ready for some food this event is
1:37
located in the parking lot
1:39
of a water park
1:42
right up here next to these satellite
1:45
dishes cost of parking was ten dollars
1:47
cash only
1:49
luckily I had some cash in my wallet and
1:51
I'm gonna park over here next to the
1:52
satellite dishes and head to Chiefs luau
1:55
yeah there's a whole bunch of them over
1:56
there
1:58
so it's about five o'clock I believe six
2:00
o'clock is when the meal technically
2:02
kicks off
2:03
Chiefs luau and oolai pig roast or Uli
2:07
pig roast there's a lot of other people
2:09
lining up as well everyone wearing their
2:12
aloha shirts I mean Hawaii insurance but
2:14
you're in Hawaii so every shirt would be
2:17
a Hawaiian shirt
2:20
so I was told it's called Aloha shirt
2:22
and here's my mom
2:24
looking all pretty and very let's say
2:27
Hawaiian but very tropical and you're
2:30
wearing the the flower that they were
2:32
had in the elati room that came with the
2:34
room
2:35
now you've been to a luau before I've
2:37
never been to one I got this jury when I
2:39
was here in Hawaii our 50th Anniversary
2:41
okay so just to clarify the luau you
2:43
went to when the last time you were in
2:45
Hawaii when
2:46
dad and you were here for your 50th
2:48
Anniversary three or four years ago so
2:50
four years ago four years ago four years
2:52
ago was not this luau no there's a bunch
2:55
of luau's all over the island we went to
2:57
a little while on Maui on Maui on that
3:00

3:02
all you can eat yeah and there's gonna
3:04
be lots of dancing and singing and drums
3:07

3:12
like flower necklaces around like the
3:14
laser on my neck I don't know they
3:15

3:21
a photo of a couple and they took a
3:22

Fiji we welcome you by saying
21:40
responsive next slide
21:40
I miss him very dearly
21:42
but I am never shy to tell the story
21:45
because I do feel that all of us need to
21:47
celebrate
21:49
we all need to celebrate every day time
21:51
because we never know
21:52
we just never know what tomorrow will
21:54
bring for what happened a few years ago
22:16
a special guests like yourself is in me
22:16
she is wearing a beautiful
22:22
the attire that is made from the inner
22:22
Park of the paper Mulberry sticks
22:25
that's all we do to get the fire is to
22:28
rub sticks
22:30
but I know you have your own method so
22:32
while you flick your pick
22:35
we're rubber sticks
22:39
takes five hours
22:41
rainy days we don't eat
22:44
then we go to McDonald's
22:50
eat chicken nuggets
22:50
french fries at any time
22:54
that you want to try this method
22:56
please make sure the wood is very dry
22:59
the two piece must be the same
23:06
no because of the friction we've got to
23:06
use same type of work
23:09
also remember when you
23:11
start rubbing don't rush in the
23:13
beginning slow until you see smoke
23:17
then you can pick up speed
23:21
on a Survivor show day
23:23
didn't slow down
23:26
they were rushing their arms got tired
23:30
that's why there was no fire
23:33
they didn't get
23:36
and yeah go get messages
23:46
I don't think they want to see me this
23:46
way you know
24:13

34:01
hey what'd you think Mom
34:01
it was excellent especially the show the
34:04
food was okay all right heading out now
34:07
I ended up buying a little souvenir show
34:09
when I get back to the hotel room
34:11
like a picture that two different photos
34:13
that you could purchase a little
34:14
souvenir
34:16
ended up being pretty good the food was
34:18
the food wasn't too overly impressed
34:20
with
34:21
uh the the fish was good and the pork
34:25
was good but the other stuff was just
34:26
kind of basic
34:27
and I got to thinking at that point like
34:30
how was the rest of the event going to
34:31
be but the actual luau in the show was
34:34
incredible
34:35
especially just the evening I mean the
34:37
whole thing was amazing
34:39
did you like it Mom I did
34:41
how did it compare to the last luau you
34:43
went to well
34:46
the other one we went to was inside
34:49
it was just
34:51
routine dancing and stuff but it was
34:54
inside where this was outside and the
34:56
lighting was so much better because it
34:59
fires especially with the darkness and
35:01
everything
35:06
they were both good but I think this one
35:06
was better
35:13
it was better all right back up at the
35:13
room now gonna show the photos that we
35:15
got turned out really good it took two
35:18
different ones and they come in this
35:20
little booklet here you get both photos
35:21
for
35:23
the same price
35:25
and has the date stamp on it there
35:27
there's mom and I doing the Shaka I
35:29
think it's called
35:31
and I got a couple of uh people that are
35:33
part of the luau behind there as part of
35:35
the photo op and then here's just one of
35:38
the two of us
35:39
as well without putting the hands up
35:42
pretty good we both got our uh both got
35:45
the lays on when we first went in beat
35:47
out of real flowers
35:48
and we also got the little little crown
35:51
made out of the plants out of the palm
35:54
tree leaf that they made the baskets and
35:56
the
35:57
and they showed how to make a plate we
35:59
didn't eat on the on the leaf plates but
36:01
they took one of these not this
36:03
particular one but they took a
36:05
Fern Leaf from the palm tree and they
36:07
