Hawaii Last Day!

I think this is day eight, as if I was keeping track ;) and that represents the last day. The flight was in the evening, 930pm. That meant we had all day to use.

The only problem I see with hotels is that you need to check out by 11am or 12 pm. That means if you have an early flight, life is good. If you have a late flight, then you have to check in your bags and be without them for the day. It also means that you can't chill in the room or cone back and change if you went to the beach. Kind of sucks. I wish they had an option where there were rooms you could stay in and not be charged for a 5pm check out.

So we packed up and basically went about the town. We walked by the beach, we walked to another hotel that was very far away (30-45 mins) all because they had a market and shops we hadn't been to. It was pretty neat, we had lunch there and hung out. We came back to the main part of Waikiki where we browsed the shops for deals and went along the beach. We couldn't really chill on the beach or anything as we had not towels or sunscreen. We went for ice cream which melted almost instantly. We hung out in the lobby of the hotel.

Eventually came sunset, and we watched in all its glory. Sunsets are really under appreciated. It's an amazing thing to see it light up the sky, then slowly watch the sun lower itself onto the water, and in a matter of moments, dissapear, leaving behind light that slowly fades into the night.

Due to the unfortunate incidents involving the planes in the United States, we left early for the airport, only to get through all security checkpoints quite quickly. So we chilled in the open airport and had a late meal befor our plane, as airlines seem to charge for everything, even if they know it's crap.

The plane was quite nice, a new airbus Boeing 767. First class seats were curvy seats that can transform into a bed. That's just crazy. Everyone is equal, but airplanes still have class sections. I was happy to have my own screen in front of me where I can choose what I want to see. That I the best thing to happen to aircraft. It's awesome. I saw two movies and at the end of it, we were in Vancouver. We went from sun and 30 degree weather to cold 0 degree weather with our car frozen in frost and ice.

Hawaii was fun and a much needed break. If i was to do it again, I'd stay a little further away from metropolitan Honolulu. Maybe Maui or just a spot on the north shore of Ohahu. Either way, I'll take the sun and relax.
