‘Imiloa is the Hawaiian word for seeker, and it is the name for the attraction in Hilo, Hawaii that features a fine planetarium, astronomy and cultural exhibits, and gardens. We happened to be seeking lunch, however, and found that at the Sky Garden Restaurant in the ‘Imiloa complex. The restaurant provides delicious inexpensive buffet-style Hawaiian food suitable for space, and other, travelers. The buffet is a short course in Hawaiian specialties.

The Camelback Inn is a Marriott luxury resort in the Scottsdale area, north of Phoenix. They started serving Sunday brunch again in September. They were closed for however long it takes to spend $50 million remodeling the building having the restaurants and the registration desk. Brunch at the Camelback Inn was long fabled as a place where important people enjoyed fine food. G. Gordon Liddy and Sandra Day O’Connor are said to have dined there, although not necessarily at the same table.
