Big Island

Na’au Hilo Round 2

December 7, 2023 by Island Miler

Na'au Hilo Round 2

My very first standalone dining experience with Na'au Hilo was in September 2022. But eight months later, the stars aligned, and they had another dinner during my impromptu hop over to the island. So, in May 2023, I had a Na'au Hilo round 2 dinner. And it was fantastic!  … [Read more...] about Na’au Hilo Round 2

Review: Grand Naniloa Hotel – a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel

November 28, 2023 by Island Miler

Grand Naniloa Hotel

For our most recent trip to the Big Island, we stayed in Hilo. That means we had only three hotels to choose from, and only one of them is associated with a large chain. As such, I decided to give the Grand Naniloa Hotel a try. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning, which means I now have only one other option in the area.  … [Read more...] about Review: Grand Naniloa Hotel – a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel

Big Island Chocolate Adventure

Big Island Chocolate Adventure

When we landed in Hilo, our hotel room wasn't ready, so after dropping our bags, we quickly got back into our car and headed back out. We didn't have a plan for this contingency but ended up having an impromptu Big Island Chocolate Adventure of sorts.  … [Read more...] about Big Island Chocolate Adventure

Kilauea September 2023 Eruption Ends

Just as quickly as it began, the Kilauea September 2023 eruption ends. in fact, this eruption was so quick that is was the shortest eruption to occur all year. Oh well, such is the way of things at Halema'uma'u Crater.  … [Read more...] about Kilauea September 2023 Eruption Ends

Kilauea Reawakens September 2023

September 11, 2023 by Island Miler

Kilauea Reawakens

Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii has been very on again, off again lately. Its most recent eruption ended just weeks after beginning, and that was just two months ago. But now, Kilauea Reawakens once again, with an eruption that will, hopefully, last longer than the last one.  … [Read more...] about Kilauea Reawakens September 2023

Kilauea January 2023 Eruption

January 6, 2023 by Island Miler

Kilauea January 2023 Eruption

2022 ended with zero volcanic activity on the Big Island. Both Mauna Loan and Kilauea stopped erupting almost simultaneously. Naturally, the big question at the time was if and when Kilauea would begin erupting again. The answer to that question is now, as the Kilauea January 2023 eruption begins.  … [Read more...] about Kilauea January 2023 Eruption

Visiting the Puna Chocolate Hilo Store

November 25, 2022 by Island Miler

Puna Chocolate

I've been buying Puna Chocolate for a couple of years now but have never been able to visit one of their physical locations until now. In the waning moments of our time on the Big Island, Mrs. Island Miler and I decided to pay the Puna Chocolate Hilo store a visit.  … [Read more...] about Visiting the Puna Chocolate Hilo Store

The Incredible FoodxJitsu Omakase Set

November 17, 2022 by Island Miler

FoodxJitsu

Hilo is Hawaii's hidden foodie secret. While there are more obvious choices, such as Moon & Turtle - I really gotta get there one of these days - there are other, hidden options. The one I wanted to try the most and got to try this past September is the FoodxJitsu omakase set.  … [Read more...] about The Incredible FoodxJitsu Omakase Set

Na’au Hilo – A Fantastic and Unique Dining Experience

November 10, 2022 by Island Miler

Na'au Hilo

It's no secret that I've been a big fan of Na'au Hilo since its inception. I've been to most of their Oahu pop-ups at PAI Honolulu (also a favorite) but never attended a stand-alone dinner. At least, not until recently.  … [Read more...] about Na’au Hilo – A Fantastic and Unique Dining Experience

The Incredible Mr. Ed’s Bakery

November 4, 2022 by Island Miler

I've touched on Mr. Ed's Bakery before, but given our recent visit, I think this gem deserves a post of its own. Make no mistake, there will be no baked goods discussed here: just a passionate man and his huge collection of preserves. … [Read more...] about The Incredible Mr. Ed’s Bakery
