We arrived Tuesday morning and picked up our rental car. A 2010 Mustang convertible. I love it! Driving with the top down makes me very happy! We hung out in Waikiki all day Thursday and didn't do too much because we were tired from the flight.
On Wednesday we once again played in the ocean at Waikiki and quickly learned I need a boogie board :) We walked out about 1200 feet and stood and watched the surfers ride in. They are so graceful. We also drove out to Waimanalo to eat at Ono Hawaiian Steak, the best roadside food on Oahu.
On Thursday we spent all day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. We had a great time. My mind played an April Fool's Day joke on me and caused me to leave my camera at the hotel so I have no pictures from the day :( We had a tour guide and took a canoe ride through the center. The dinner at the luau was great. We both ate SO much!! The night show, HA Breath of Life was amazing. At one point they has 12 guys twirling fire sticks (not sure what they are really called, but you get the point right?). We were in the 2nd row at center stage and could feel the heat from the fire. And, I didn't have a panic attack so it was a WIN all around.
Today we spent the afternoon at the beach and even though we applied lots of sunscreen (yes, I put on sunscreen, even though I HATE!!!! it) we are both a little pink tonight.
The room we have at the hotel is nice. We are staying at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. We stayed here last year too. The rooms are about as nice as a Best Western, but we are one block from the beach and paid less than $100 a night. The bed is comfy and the staff is nice. We have a pool view room with a double balcony so we open our glass door at night and can hear the live band play and the ocean coming in.
