Here's some Hawaii and vanilla to add to the mix.

The Coffee Festival on the Big Island is coming up, November 6-15.
"Hawaii's Oldest Food Festival"

I encourage anybody visiting Hawaii to check out local events, such as food, sports, cultural, slack-key, hula festivals while they are there.
I like this "Big Island on the Cheap" link that I'm sure I got from someone here.

If you haven't tried Island Princess Melemacs (Macadamia nuts covered with a thin layer of toffee, dipped in delicious chocolate, and dusted with powder sugar), well, they are sublime. I get the 12 box pack at Costco when it is available around the holidays (for gifts), otherwise, the large jar is overwhelmingly tempting.

My husband & I took the "Chocolate Farm Tour" at Steelgrass Farm on Kauai, and it was outstanding, informative *and* delicious! A bit pricey, but worth it. We were already chocoholics, but we left with an even deeper appreciation.
