2005 Kalia Road Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, United States, 96815, 808-949-4321

We went on a trip to Hawaii over Christmas for Diary Queen a few years ago and it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. We saw some history by visiting Pearl Harbor and some nature by visiting the active volcano on the big island but for the most part we just enjoyed the beaches and our amazing resort. This was like an amusement park hotel. They had a dolphin show, a boat ride, and a train to take you to other parts of the hotel. There was a movie theater and tons of beautiful pools a...
Oahu, Hawaii, United States buteng1Jet lag, no matter what miracle cure there is, will still beat you up. Our neighbor woke us up at 4:30 local time and we could not fall back to sleep. Argh. The old school rooms in the Rainbow tower are not that sound proof. I hope he enjoyed his phone call. It took a while but we finally decided to just get up and try to make something of the day. All I can say is we got to see the sunrise. There is not really that much to do here. All the normal people sleep to normal hours. But we did find...
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States cayenne92It was an absolutely wonderful day in the sun. Perfect weather. A couple passing clouds early in the morning and then sun, sun and more sun. It was a great day to be Hawaii. It looks like it is really cold back home. We slathered on the sunscreen and then spent most of the day on the beach and by the pool chillin' or should I say relaxing since we were not cold :) The most exciting thing we did before leaving the beach was eat lunch. The next is that I finished book number one. Around 3:30 we...
Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, United States cayenne92Big day today. We had our tour of the whole island. We booked through Discover Hawaii tours and took the circle island/Pearl Harbor tour. It was a forced early start. Somehow waking up and having to not be anywhere is less exhausting than getting up and then having to be somewhere. Why is that? Our first stop of the day was Pearl Harbor. There they have the Arizona Memorial, the Bowfin submarine and the recently decommissioned USS Missouri. We only did the trip out to the Arizona Memorial. Th...
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States cayenne92This was meant to be another day lounging around the pool and beach. We started the day that way and used whole morning relaxing. The our adventure began. We went to lunch at the China Buffet across the street. Oh My. The food there was a bit on the not so great side. OK a lot on the bad side. We did fill up on the donut holes, which looked strongly like the ones we saw at Foodland the other day. Then we decided to adventure to downtown Waikiki to look for some souvenirs. Well we found a lot ...
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States cayenne92We have had acouple great days of just sitting about the pool and beach doing puzzles and reading books and listening to our iPods. It was some of the best relaxation we have had in a long time. We really just dropped out and enjoyed doing nothing. It was great. Now if there were just something to say that we did.... Seriously. The weather could not have been more perfect for us each day. We woke up to around 70 degrees and the temperature heated up to about 80 with just a few clouds during t...
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States cayenne92It finally arrived. Our last day in Hawaii. We were actually bummed that we had to go back. Well to occupy our time we went on the timeshare demonstration. It turned out that the deal is on the up and up and we have decided to go forward with a purchase. We are actually quite excited about the possibilities that it will offer us for future vacations. But that presentation took up the whole morning, which maybe was a good thing. Our skin was looking like it did not need much more sun :) The ti...
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States cayenne92"No Memory Card". Three words that no traveler wants to see when they arrive at a once-in-a-lifetime attraction like Pearl Harbor, but that's what I saw on my screen when I powered on my camera this morning. Sure enough, I had left my card in my PC back at the hotel! But of course, that is why every souvenir shop stocks low-grade, overpriced SD cards and the USS Arizona Memorial gift shop now has one less in stock. For those who have never been to Pearl Harbor, there are several attractions w...
