Hawaii - Day 1

I'm back from blogging limbo, and have I got a story to tell. My company sent me to Hawaii for this week to do some training with the Navy, and I got a sweet deal. I got to fly FIRST CLASS to Hawaii, and I'm staying at the Outrigger Waikiki (on Waikiki Beach) for the whole week.

Here's the hotel looking from the beach:


Here's the view from my balcony on the 15th floor:


And here's what I see when I look to the left from my balcony:

We ate dinner at the Hula Grille, and here's the view from our table:

Here are some pictures from the plane as we made our approach into Honolulu:
