In the spooktacular spirit of Halloween, each year associates at JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa join in a friendly pumpkin carving contest at the resort. One entry is submitted by each department and placed on display in the lobby for judging by hotel guests. Here are a few of last year’s favorites!
It's not every day that Kauai cuisine is featured in the Evergreen State, but on Friday October 23rd, Seattle foodies enjoyed Ti Leaf Wrapped Opah (moonfish) with Chinese Black Bean Sauce and Wok Stir Fried Vegetables at 2100 Bistro & Bar at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront. It's all part of Marriott Resorts Hawaii's Aloha Friday celebrations where Chef Chris Frothingham presents an island-inspired entree each Friday in October.
Hawaii cuisine continues to be the talk of the foodie crowd in Seattle where a Marriott Resorts Hawaii island-inspired entree is featured each Aloha Friday during the month of October by Chef Chris Frothingham of 2100 Bistro & Bar at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront. Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa's entree, Seared Halibut with Soy Bean and Heirloom Tomato Salad and Tomato Lime Vinaigrette, was the featured dish on Friday, October 16th.
On Friday, October 9th, we kicked off an Aloha Friday celebration at Seattle Marriott Waterfront’s 2100 Bistro & Bar where Chef Chris Frothingham featured an island-inspired entrée from Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. Highlighting sumptuous cuisine from the Big Island of Hawaii, the Seared Kona Kampachi with Golden Pineapple Salsa, Yuzu Butter Sauce, Waipio Fern, Okinawan Sweet Potatoes and Hon Shimeji Mushrooms was a crowd pleaser!
During the month of August, the associates at Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa collectively sold bentos, baked goods, vegetables, popcorn and snacks, spam musubi, Filipino dishes, fried chicken, boiled peanuts, waffle dogs, ice cream, and huli huli chicken - all to raise money for Kapi‘olani Children's Miracle Network. Each department was tasked to create fundraising opportunities that would work for their team's associates, which greatly led to the success of our efforts. In total, we raised $20,300 and presented the check to Stacey Acma, director of Kapi‘olani.
今日はツアー最終日。日頃お世話になっている旅行会社のJTB、HIS、近畿日本ツーリスト、そしてR＆CをKONISHIKIさんとポリネシアカルチャーセンターのエンターテイナーらが訪れました。KONISHIKIさんがスピーチをした他、本場フラダンスを披露すると、会場からは歓声がわきあがりました。
Today Marriott Resorts Hawaii hunkered down to doing business with the various Japanese tour wholesalers here in Japan. We visited JTB, HIS, Kintetsu and R&C all in one day with speeches by Konishiki, Ed Hubennette, Mayor Hannemann (Honolulu) Mayor Kenoi (Big Island) and a great performance by Polynesian Cultural Center. Here are some highlights:
スピリット・オブ・アロハツアーに地元のフラ教室の先生やその生徒さん達もイベントに参加していただき、１人でも多くの方にハワイをより身近に感じてもらえたらとご協力いただきました。
それぞれクラスによって、いろいろなフラのスタイルがあり、パレードを見ていた観客も存分に楽しめたかと思います。驚くことに、日本のフラ人口はなんと50万人を超えるということです。（ハワイのフラ人口よりもかなり多いです。）
今日、スピリット・オブ・アロハツアーの最後のイベントをイオン・レイクタウン・ショッピングセンターで行いました。
台風が関東に接近していますが、雨天の中、たくさんの方にお集まりいただきました。
Today was our last consumer event on the Spirit of Aloha Japan Tour, and we made the most of it at Japan's largest shopping mall - AEON LakeTown Mall.
テレ玉の「ごごたま」にKONISHIKIがスペシャルゲストとして生出演！スピリット・オブ・アロハ・ジャパン・ツアーと明日のAEONレークタウンでのイベントについてPRをしました。皆さんも見に来てくださいね！
Konishiki went live on the afternoon news talk show "Gogo-tama" to talk about the Spirit of Aloha tour and promote our event tomorrow at AEON Laketown mall - Japan's largest shopping center. Farwyn and Kara from Polynesian Cultural Center were there to lend a "shaka".
プランタン銀座前のイベントの様子です。KONISHIKIが出演する直前まではちょっと雨が降って心配でしたが、ステージに上がるとすぐにやみました。さすがKONISHIKIです！
