We spent half the day in the car and the other half at random resort because we couldn't find the beach on the map. It wasn't exactly what we wanted, but we definitely made the most of it. We swam in an ocean with no California chill, we soaked in the sunshine without a hospital-window barricade, and we walked on the beach side by side instead of racing to a code.
We were starving for white sand and waves, and Turtle Bay hit the spot.

All that fun in the sun found us starving, and we spent half an hour in the car and the other half at a random ramen place because we couldn't find anything else on the map.
It wasn't exactly what we wanted, but the Paitan Chashu Ramen definitely made the most of it. We let the chashu swim in a smooth broth of chicken and pork, we let the chewy noodles steep soft as they soaked in every soupy drop, and we shared kimchee and conversation without checking our pagers for the next admission.
The sights and sounds of Hawaii were amazing but what really made waves was getting to spend quality time with the people who stood by my side during the best and worst of every day and night. I was starving for that kind of soul-food, and like my trip to Hawaii, Yotteko-Ya really hit the spot.
