Princeville Shopping Center and more! :)
After having a fabulous first night at the Princeville Resort, I was excited to have a day to explore more of the area. I woke up and headed to Cafe Hanalei again for some breakfast before I headed out on a walk to the local shopping center.
Princeville Resort is located with in Princeville, which I kind of like a gated community for condominiums and time shares. In the middle of Princeville are two major golf courses and a tennis club, surrounded by the condos timeshares. There's a 2 mile path that takes you to the Princeville Shopping center, where you can find the closest grocery store and hardware store. And yes they are just as exciting as they sound ;) Foodland is the grocery store and they have similar things that any grocery store on the mainland would have except with a few other things like huge variety of spam, sunscreen, and tropical fruits. I became a member and got my "Maika'i Card" so I can shop there when I need to.
When I was inside, I noticed an interesting mix of people. On one hand you had the crisply dressed resort guests and on the other hand there were the"beach bums," walking around the store with sun-bleached hair and just their board shorts on and grabbing quick sandwiches to-go. What was so cool, is that everyone seemed to be so comfortable around each other. Kind of like everyone was united by their love of the island. OK, so that was way cheesy, but I would like to think it to be somewhat true.

Walking around Princeville
Soon I headed back to the resort and took a swim on the resort's private beach. I really enjoyed the swim, but while I was swimming I noticed 3 weddings taking place on different spots of the beach. With plenty more to come this summer, the resort's wedding season sure seems to be running strong.

I finished off the day with dinner at the Cafe Hanalei , where I went a little bit lighter and got an awesome Japanese Bento Box dinner with sushi, Ahi poke, grilled tofu, rice, salad, and somen noodles.
Oh boy, start work on Monday!!!
