1: Highlights In Hawaii 115 secs
Well here we are in Hawaii...Well here we are in Hawaii...Well here we are in Hawaii...

The USA at last, Oh did I mention we are staying on Waikiki beach..
After a nightmare overnight flight.
(The turbulances were the worst ever!!)
Were we glad to finally land in sunny Hawaii.

Having picked up our hire car, we made the 30 minute journey to our hotel.
A suite at "The Imperial Hawaiian Resort" a little bit of luxury for a change......

But luxury comes at a cost in Waikiki.
Only valet parking at this hotel at a cost of $20 a night!!!
And you should have seen the valets faces when we pulled up in our "Little Blue Bus".
They were more used to parking the limo's etc...

It wasn't till we checked out the area that we discovered that nobody really needs to hire a car to get around!!!

There are plenty of tours that will take you to the different places of interest for a nominal fee and a shuttle that will take you to and from the airport.
(Wish we'd known that)

Waikiki Beach is crowded, but it is a great place to swim, canoe, surf and snorkel.

At night the place really comes alive along Kalakaua Avenue, where the street artists are out to entertain you.
Making each night an adventure, whilst
This time .......This time .......This time .......

It's luxury on the 17th floor in a 5*suite at The Imperial Hawaiian Resort.
discovering new places to eat and drink.

There is really so much to see and do

We also spent time travelling around the island, discovering the quieter beaches and better snorkeling spots........
