Hung over in Honolulu: Another successful GTG

Big mahalo to kuranosuke for getting us together! We were most impressed with mrwunrfl, who flew all the way here JUST for the GTG. divediva created a 1/2 business, 1/2 pleasure trip all the way from Maui, as well!
We started off with an "attitude adjustment" with drinks at Longhi's. From there, we had dinner at Seoul Garden, a yummy Korean yakiniku-style family restaurant situated next to one of Honolulu's most notorious strip clubs, Femme Nu. I'll never understand how the two co-exist the way they do!
You can see some of the photos here:

Lots of libations, good food, good conversation all around. We gotta do this more often!

The owner of the restaurant, Yun Hee Im, is also the owner of Femme Nu. She has transferred the managment of Femme Nu to her son, Tai, but keeps a close watch from the restaurant which is only yards away.
A little known tidbit is that Yun Hee is the younger sister of Auntie Rose Myong, as in Club Rose. So the business proficiency is very much in the family and one day the family will be inducted into one kind of Hall of Fame or another!

I think it's marvelous how friendships begin on travel boards with a few hellos, and they blossom into these wonderful get-togethers. Looks like you all had a great time. The pictures tell it all: good food, good friends, good times = PRICELESS! Aloha to all!

Where did those kewl Fodor's luggage tags come from??
We've got the ohsogeneric black carryon suitcases -- nice, when we just use them as carryon luggage for our frequent inter-island trips. But with the new restrictions on acceptable carryon items, we had to send them as checked baggage. Auwe! Trying to find _our_ black carryons in the sea of black carryons on the HNL luggage carousel, was a nightmare!
Fodor's tags -- purple for Kaua`i -- would be great. Point me in the direction for ordering, please! 8-)
