We have arrived after a long
wait in Sydney for our flight to Honolulu with Hawaiian Airlines which departed
on time. It was an uneventful flight which mum told me I slept, but I beg to
differ. The food was quite nice and not
what I expected (perhaps I shouldn’t have relied too heavily on the airlines
Website). Our seats were row 14, classed as Comfort Seating just behind the
galley and you know what. It was fine, we had extra legroom.
After arriving into Honolulu
we experienced a long wait to go through immigration as another international
flight arrived at the same time. But once through we were greeted with Lei’s
for each of us.
It was then another wait for
our transfer bus which took us to our hotel the Holiday Inn Waikiki Beachcomber
Resort, a lovely room awaited for us with a view of the water. It was time to
freshen up before we ventured out and explored our immediate surroundings, well
who am I lying too, we went straight across the road to the Cheesecake Factory
which impressed mum with the display of cakes available. We were seated and the
lovely waitress explained that the meals were huge, but there are some
available in a small serving.
We needed extra time to
decide so we put in a drink order, then when they came I had settled on the
Rocky Road Sundae. We waited and waited, then it came and oh my, what did we
get ourselves into, should’ve just ordered the one and shared it. I put a huge
dent into mine, but thought if I continued it would make me feel unwell. Don’t
get me wrong I enjoyed it and it was yummy.
We waddled back over the
road and found ourselves in Macys, where we happened to meet our friends, I
believe everyone else bought stuff, but nothing tempted me to buy. We wandered
and explored some more shops before our friends decided it was time for Dinner,
checking the menus outside of the restaurants, we found ourselves at Atlantis.
I was still feeling a touch full so chose a bowl of Clam Chowder.
As we were heading back we
noticed a market which of course we had to visit and spend a little.
