Greetings from Waikiki, we finally got here after a few hiccups and funny stories. All the smoothness and relaxing in Maui was now behind us as we tried to get to our Hotel in Waikiki. Bec decided to travel in her bikini under a top and shorts, which wasn’t the best idea, well that’s what the airport security lady told me as she was frisking Bec down for any hidden nasties while she was in an isolation booth. Her bikinis had metal rings on the side and they set of the metal detectors at which point only then did Bec realise they were there…funny story this one, if only I could have snapped a pic of her standing in the star position in the isolation chamber…priceless. But then I had to one up her by getting us on what I thought was the shuttle from Honolulu Airport to Waikiki…but it wasn’t, it actually took us a to a car rental place, so we had to get back on the shuttle and ask the driver to take us back to the airport…again funny story this one, well I saw the humour in it straight away, it took Bec a couple of hours. So finally making it to the Hotel, Bec was in a state of shock/withdrawal…the Best Western Coconut Waikiki while very nice and modern etc with great service…is just not 5 star like the Four Seasons in Maui, so she had a little adjusting to do, I think she has adjusted now though. We went for a stroll around the neighbourhood, down to the beach and checked it all out, it was dark so we didn’t stray too far from home. We had dinner at the Yardhouse, a funky bar with lots of flat screens and good food, Bec tried the Jambalaya and hows this, I had the Maui chicken in Waikiki, the serves here are so huge. We had an appetizer between us and it probably could have done us both for our mains, but no we ordered a main as well (known here as an entree). We made a pretty good dent in all of them though.
Today we will venture further and check out quite a few places and get our bearings sorted.
Until next time.
Thats hilarious, im glad all is well now, i cant believe you got frisked hehehe xxx
ReplyDeletei cant believe it either, they put me in this glass booth, so i couldnt you know dump the conceiled metal that i had on me that set off the detectors! the shame of it, but about 3 girls after me got the same treatment so i didnt feel so bad. the lady was very nice about it all, patting me down for weapons! haha i was like omg i think i have to think about what i am wearing more whilst travelling, i was like oh yeah jumped out of the pool put a dress on and we went to the airport, i was like half an hour flight, it will be ok in bathers and a dress, also the dress had all these metal things all over it....duh......oh well, it was funny.
