They had LOADS of hawaiian shirts and sarongs and swimsuits as well as handmade goods. After picking up a couple gifts for the folks back home, we strolled up and down Kalakaua Avenue, which runs along Waikiki Beach and has several high-class hotels between it and the beach (like the one I got to stay in) as well as many super-fancy stores.
There were even some nice views of the beach.
Since that didn't use up all of our time before the flight, we decided to drive the coast looking for places to take pictures.
We left Honolulu and headed East. Here are some of the sights we saw:
As we rounded the eastern tip of the island, we were greeted with this beautiful sight:
During our roadtrip, we found out that our flight for that evening had been overbooked (we couldn't confirm our seats) and it was already 3 hours late. We called back home to the wonderful lady who handles our travel arrangement (at this point the time in Waco was about 8:00pm on a Friday) and she tried to get us on another flight. There weren't any available seats on Friday or Saturday, so we were forced to stay in Hawaii an extra two days. The hotel we had been staying in didn't have any rooms available for the weekend, but after much searching, we ended up at the Embassy Suites. And here are some views from my room:
I guess I'll just have to suffer through 2 more days in Honolulu.
