Visit Disneyland Resort: MagicBand+

  Not too many people had  MagicBand+  at Disneyland Resort, from what I noticed, but that didn't stop us from getting them.   You can use the MagicBand+ to scan into the entry gates or scan your Lightning Lane passes.  No need to take out your phone and open up the Disneyland app or your photos app for a screenshot of your admission ticket or Lightning Lane pass.  It's easy to sync the MagicBand+ to everyone in your party through the Disneyland app. It's rechargeable, and one full charge is supposed to last 1-3 days, but we'd charge them at the end of each night.

Visit Hilo: Tetsumen

I've heard that Tetsumen in Hilo is a great spot for ramen, but for my first ever visit, I ended up getting cold noodles, since I didn't want to eat ramen in the warm weather.  

Chicken Namban Hiyashi Chuka

I got the Chicken Namban Hiyashi Chuka, which had noodles in a konbu broth, topped with 3 juicy pieces of fried chicken and covered with a sweet vinegar and tartar sauce, green onion, kikurage, nori, and red ginger.  I thought the bowl was really delicious, and perfect for summer!

Hiyashi Tantanmen
The Hiyashi Tantanmen consisted of noodles in a tonkotsu broth, chili oil, pork, poached egg, green onion, and cucumber.  My friend thought there was not enough pork, but it was tasty overall.  

Next time I hope to try the ramen!
