    I was born & lived in Birmingham until I was a toddler(ish) & still have family there I’ve visited for many years. The school Bill named as “The University of Birmingham” towards the beginning of the video is actually named “The University of Alabama at Birmingham”. This is where my parents actually met, working as a Dr. & Nurse Anesthetist, & eventually had me at the University Hospital there. So the name of the school is very important to me. Thank you, Lisa, for giving the correct name of the school at the end, & using its acronym, UAB.

    I lived in Bangkok 3 years. Thais don't use chopsticks. Their main utensil is the spoon with the fork that as a means to put food on the spoon. I still eat this way after moving back to Hawaii 5 years ago. My girlfriend is Japanese so she always uses chopsticks.

    The wings, baked potato & salad look really good! I can taste it now with Western Dressing on it! The Cod & burgers look good too. Was just watching a youtube channel of a couple that live & travel around Mexico; they've gotten food poisoning 3 times in the last 3 months; they aren't sure if it's from the water or from eating fish. Think I'd give up both, if I were them! Bottled water only for me, even in Vegas!

We are looking for a relaxing vacation with hanging out in the ocean and a nice pool at the hotel. Thanks!

    • @billandlisa
      @billandlisa  Před 3 lety +1

      We really enjoy both Maui and Oahu. If you’re into nightlife, Waikiki might be your choice. Oahu will probably offer more activities if that’s your thing too. Maui can get crowded in certain areas, but a more laid back feeling overall. We have several vlogs on Oahu and a couple on Maui if you want to check out. Either way, hope you’ll have a great time in Hawaii.
