After a long tedious transport time, we finally arrived in Hawaii yesterday. It was so warm when we walked out of the airport, no more 10 degree freezing snow!
It is so nice here and everyone is so friendly. When we went to rent our car, I thought they were going to give us some crappy car. To my surprise, the people at Alamo led me to the parking lot and just told me to pick out whatever car I wanted. So we got the Toyota Prius Hybrid. It took us a good 15 minutes to figure out how to turn the car on. It also took us a good 2 minutes to figure out how to put the car in park when we got to the hotel.
Our hotel. FABULOUS! I have never been treated so well. It is like I am a celebrity except I am wearing crappy clothes. We told them we were on our honeymoon and they immediately upgraded our room to the 9th floor where our view is a gorgeous mountain. And they gave us champagne. Apparently every US president since LBJ has stayed here and a ton of celebrities. They have their own waterfall and DOLPHINS. They have their own private beach and little islands. It is paradise.
We just finished our buffet breakfast and now on our way to Shark’s Cove on the northern end of Oahu. It is a cloudy morning so I wasn’t able to get sunrise pictures but tomorrow is a brand new opportunity…
way to use the honeymoon card (and be upgraded!!) on your non-honeymoon hawaiian vacation!
I say milk it for all it’s worth!
