I had about 9 hours until my next flight back to LA. I took
the opportunity to take a walk long Waikiki beach for a couple of hours. My
first time in Hawaii and it was a pretty awesome sight. It’s a bit like an
American version of Majorca.
The beach is full of every type of person with surf lessons,
paddle boarding and boat cruises and just behind the beach is a super modern
shopping precinct.
I walk from the hotel past the aquarium and found a war
memorial which was in disrepair.
I meet flyertalkbuddy back at the hotel and he’s settled
down to a beer and a snack and settled right in. He’s got a week in paradise.
Quick dip in the sea and what looked like 3 F35’s took off
from the airport with afterburners blazing right along Waikiki beach. Might
have been F22’s but I’m sure that they were single engine. Either way a great
experience.
Quick pint of local beer with flyertalkguy in a nice
bar/eatery called goofy’s and I’m off to catch my airport shuttle. Nip into the
Admirals Club at HNL and have some soup and I’m shattered, really need to catch
up on some sleep. At this point I’m at a low point, the thought “why did I do
this” is at the front of my thoughts.
I've got 4 flights in 20 hours now worth a total of 520 Tier Points.
