We weren't planning on renting a car, but Dick had a change of heart once we landed. ;) As luck would have it, for the days that we needed a car, the cost of a convertible was less than the price of a compact. Convertible? On Hawaii? Yes, Please!
Our flight landed right before Noon, and we knew we probably wouldn't be able to check-in to our hotel until 3:00ish, so we figured we should stop somewhere for lunch along the way.
Vivian and her fiance had put together a long list of all of their favorite local places to eat on Oahu. As it turned out, Viv's favorite sushi bar (one that we've heard about for a long time) just happened to be right on the way. We had the best sushi I've ever had (really, that's saying something) at Kinchan Sushi on Ala Moana.
After our fantastic lunch, we turned the corner in the little shopping center, and what do you know? A cupcake place! Nice. I had a red velvet cupcake, of course. :)
After all of that eating, we checked into our hotel: the Halekulani, in Waikiki. Our room has an amazing Ocean View, and the hotel is lovely, to say the least.
Here we are on our balcony
We strolled around the area for a bit, and had some fish tacos for dinner at a local joint. When we came back to our room, we were surprised by a complimentary bottle of wine, some fresh fruit, and chocolate! I'm loving this place. :)
Many, many thanks to my Mom and Dad who decided to have a get-away vacation in the City, and are staying at our house, and taking care of Noe for us. Thanks, Mom & Dad!
