I didn't realise how much I needed a holiday until I landed in Hawaii for 6 days (thanks Hawaiian Airlines!).
In a nutshell:
- Stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki - a vast improvement on the Hilton that used to be The Radisson up on the way to Diamond Head (which was fabulous before it changed to a Hilton!). It was expensive, service was average, they charge you for in-room internet ($65 for 5 days!!) but at the same time it's kind of peaceful and just "easy" to stay there (I'm open to suggestions though as we will return to Hawaii within the next 18 months or so!)
- Ala Moana: Macy's, Nordstrom's, Victoria’s Secret, Sphere, banana republic - why oh why can't you open stores in Australia? I truly love thee
- Waikele - Premium Outlet did not disappoint - great bargains to be had (Osh Kosh clothing for the nieces and nephews and Nine West for Shoes!)
- Korean BBQ - simply divine - I'm glad we made the effort to go there
- Bubba Gump - my waiter was called Avocado - I kid you not, he was a royal pain in the butt, very over the top - killed the experience (well, let's face it, the experience isn't a lot to start with, it is a chain of restaurants and I only there when I crave a cheap and cheerful steak) and probably won't return to any Bubba Gump in the US on any other trips
- It rained and the weather wasn't great but I still loved my holiday
Hawaii - till we meet again..
