Hawaii here we come!

Another travelling day the second last of our trip which is winding down now to less than a week away from home. We flew to Hawaii and arrived after lunch and thankfully we were able to check in to our hotel straight away. We dumped our stuff and went in search of some lunch which was found at the Hard Rock Cafe. Very nice it was too. After a wander around and getting our bearings we spent the rest of the day sorting ourselves out.

As we had had a late lunch we went to the ABC store and got something light to have for dinner. The ABC stores are everywhere in Waikiki. You can't walk anywhere without one being closely. The stores stock everything you could possibly need and if one doesn't have it the next one will. It is a locally owned business and by the looks of it it does a roaring trade.

A quiet night and the day was done. we have spent a lot of time travelling over the last 8 weeks and it is now showing with all the on and off flights that we are getting tired.

Day 2

Cheryl and I decided we would go to the Ala Moana shopping centre for the morning. The boys did their own thing and I think they were happy with that. We wandered around and a lot of the stores weren't open even though it was after 9 o'clock. Anyway we made our way into Bloomingdale's and after a wander around we couldn't find anything that we wanted or that suited us. One of the things that I wanted to look at here in the States was Skechers as I was pretty sure they would be cheaper here. We found the Skechers shop and yep I was right a pair of shoes I  would pay $99 - $109 for in Australia were only $65. Cheryl also found a pair that she liked and she also saw a 50% of the second pair sign and it was on all the shoes in the store so with us buying a pair each and using that option I actually only ended up paying less than $50! What a bargain! If i had more room in my bag I might have bought more but I at least got one pair so I was happy. We went to Macy's and found quite a few bargains which was good because up until then we hadn't found any other than the Skechers.

A short stop for lunch and then onto the Swatch store where we both found nice watches which we bought. Another little stop for me was the Pandora shop where i bought my last Pandora for the trip.
A short bus ride and we were back home again.

Peter and been out for a walk and a swim while john had been doing the domestics of washing. That is how I spent the rest of my afternoon doing the domestics but it has been great this holiday as we haven't had to go searching for a laundromat like on the other big holidays we have done.

After a discussion about dinner we decided we would go to the Yardhouse near our accommodation and a nice dinner was had by all.
