But lest this not distract us from the great time we've been having these last few days! Let's soo were we left off...ah, of course Day 6: This day was primarly spent relaxing and recuperating from the busy couple of previous days. We walked around Waikiki ffor most of the day and settled in for dinner on the balcony overlooking the sunset, (which included the BEST pineapple throughout the whole trip!) We also celebrated with a bottle of champagne that was delivered to our room on behalf of the hotel! We even made passion fruit and pineapple mimosas!
Here are some pics:
The next day included the rescheduled tropical island fun cruise! It was great, we took this medium sized vessel out of honolulu to ironically enough about a half mile from the shore of our hotel. It also included a pretty darn good BBQ for lunch! Some of the best pictures were from our underwater camera, so I cant post those but here are some anyway. (Just a sidenote, you'll only see pictures of Ryan in the water because after snorkeling, G was al little afraid of going back into the non-shark-infested waters.)
Later that night we ventured back to the Outrigger Waikiki (were we had eaten previously at Duke's) to try out the Hula Grill. I forgot the camera so no pictures here, but let me tell you if you want THE BEST seared Ahi tuna steak I have ever had, along with great drinks and friendly sevice, this is the place to go! Grise had a shrimp stir fry, which was good too, but I think she ended up having more of my ahi. Dessert was also a scrumptuous brownie and ice cream dish....mmmmmmmm.
Monday, our last full day in Hawaii was spent parousing the streets of waikiki, particularly the International Marketplace. It was pretty funny because earlier in the day we happened to stumble across an old episode of Saved by the Bell, where the group goes to Hawaii to save Kelly's gradfather's hotel. Waikiki looked so different then! (they also showed the marketplace, which looked the same but minus the hundres of other buildings around it). Anyway, G got a new belt and another necklace! I wont post many of the pictures, as I dont want to spoil things for the peeps back home!
That night we went to the beach for some fun in the water and a sunset strol on the beach. We ended up parking it up on a jetty of volcanic rocks. The sunset was just beautiful! This is the reason people come to Hawaii! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
That night it was dinner at the Shorebird beachfront grill. Here you have the option of grilling up your own meat! G had the Teriyaki Beef Kabob, whereas I opted for some filet mignon.. This was the best service on the island and had it not been for the ahi the previous night, would have been the best food of the trip. Word of advice to anyone who may be staying at the Outrigger Reef and eating at the shorebird...the drinks are REALLY strong, I had a 'Flying Coconut' and it deifinately felt like I got hit by one. Griselda's maitai was quite good however...
That brings us right back to now, sitting in the lobby of the Outrigger Reef, we have checked out and are waiting for our shuttle.
Goodbye Hawaii, or should I say Aloooooooooohaaaaaa, and mahalo!
Hope you enjoyed my first post on the wife's blog...depending of how she likes it, it may just be the last...Ciao!
