| Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 |
This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii.
Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless.

Thankfully, the airline gave us vouchers for the full amount that I had paid for our non-refundable tickets. And our rental let us cancel with no penalties. So, when the world opens back up, we'll try to get to Hawaii sooner rather than later.
How to Participate
For now, I hope you'll join me for a virtual trip to the Hawaiian islands. I've done some research to give you a bit of direction, but this is really wide open to your interpretation on the month's theme. Watch a movie about Hawaii...or one that's just filmed in Hawaii. I'll even open it up to television series. I'm thinking of rewatching LOST or maybe even the revamped Hawaii Five-O! Or I might dig out the kids' DVDs and revisit Finding Nemo or Lilo and Stitch.
Pride of Maui posted their Top 20 Movies Filmed in Hawaii, suggesting...both Point Break movies, Elvis' Blue Hawaii, two Jurassic movies, and more. Hawaii.com has a list of Hollywood’s Tropical Backlot: Movies You May Not Know Were Filmed in Hawaii, including Jumanji: The Next Level and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and more.
I'm sure there are a ton that I missed, but here's a list with movie titles and movie release dates to get you going...
Join the fun. Watch something or multiple some things, then post about it on your blog with a link back to this post and to Food'N'Flix. Use of the logo is optional.

I had just started researching but missed some on your list so thanks. What a fun idea for FnF. I can't wait to see what everyone picks for their virtual vacay. So sorry about graduation. That is tough. Did his school plan a virtual event of some kind?
ReplyDeleteEmailed you a few photos! It was really quite fun.
DeleteThis should be fun, I can't wait to see what everybody chooses. Thanks so much for taking us to Hawaii this month!
ReplyDeleteI think we are finally going to be able to sit and watch a movie tonight. Now to choose which one.
