I think I’ll post, no doubt inconsistently, some random thoughts and observations while we’re here. If you guys seem to like it, that will encourage me!
1. Staying in a one bedroom ocean view in the Waianae tower. So clean and nice! With the new TVs, it’s possible to google cast from my iPad, so we can watch Netflix and such. Easy to set up and convenient. Internet seems fine.
2. Huge huge line at checkin this aft. It does seem crowded, but we’ll have to see what things are like after the weekend.
3. Walked over and had lunch this aft at the Four Seasons. Place seems kind of dead, but the service is great. We asked the server how to get reservations at Mina’s and Noe, since availability is almost zero online. No problem! Tomorrow at 8 for Noe, Monday at 8 for Mina’s. Our preference would have been 7 pm, but no availability. That said, can hardly complain!
4. The hotel and grounds are as beautiful as ever. A little worried about finding lounge chairs in the shade in front of Ama Ama tomorrow, or anywhere for that matter, since I don’t plan on going down there at the crack of dawn. Am sure we’ll figure something out. Looking forward to swimming, snorkeling, lazy river-ing, and sliding tomorrow!
5. One nice aspect of this tower is that I think we’ll get afternoon shade. It’s nice to sit out on the balcony and read, but not necessarily in the blazing sun.
6. Tonight dinner at Makahiki. Sunday we’re driving over to the Kualoa Movie Ranch for the two hour raptor tour. Should be fun!
Later you guys!
