New Subscriber here... Just stumbled upon your video and instantly fell in love watching you and your Dad. Makes me miss my Dad so much! He passed in 2021. I'm originally from Hawaii but currently live in Vegas this video makes miss the island life style and of course the beaches. Can't wait to catch up on the rest of your vlogs. ❤

[@DesorayandSharon]

thank you so much & welcome to the channel. 🤝🏽🤍 originally from hawaii, what a dream location to call home. ☺️ hope vegas is treating you well. i need to hit you up for tips when we eventually travel out there. 🤭

[@CouplesLite]

Love the video. I miss the Raro donuts we have nothing as good here in Vegas. Last time I had a good Raro donut was in the Avondale and Manurewa flea markets.

[@DesorayandSharon]

🙈 thank you. i really appreciate that. 🥹🤝🏽

[@bFORCe2003]

For the kuki donuts, what I do is when I buy them, the ones I dont eat, I wait until it cools down a bit then put them in the freezer, they will last for a while. When you want one just heat it in the microwave and its as soft as the day you bought it.

[@DesorayandSharon]

that’s a really good tip. 😍

You should try bushmans insect repellent heavy duty (red lid) it works wonders. I've used it in the cook Islands, and I never got bitten once. I would be surrounded by them, but they just fly past and never landed on me

[@DesorayandSharon]

you’re the second person to recommend bushman’s. we’re definitely buying it for our next trip. i cant keep being dinner for these misquotes. 😩😂

100%, nothing like our people and our enua. 🤝🏽🤍 dad’s definitely a true cook islander, that’s why i get confused when locals think he’s otherwise. 😳😂 thank you, i’ve just added CC tamure fitness to my list of ‘things to do’. i even told mum, she wished she did it on her last trip with the girls. 🥲😂
