We arrived around 130PM Saturday. The hotel is located in the heart of Waikiki. The famous Duke's Canoe House Restaurant and the Outrigger Hotel was next door. Next to that, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Went we first entered this historic hotel, I immediately noticed the rocking chairs that lined the entire front porch. Opposite, was a beautiful lanay that had an abundance of fully encased pillowed chairs with a tremendous view of an ancient banay tree. The staff was extremely courteous and accomdating. These opening nuiances seemed to encapsulate the aloha spirit...along with an extremely wealthy clientele, mostly from Japan and European countries outside of America
We were very fortunate to get Room 429. It was located on the highest floor that had a veranda overlooking the restuarant and lounge area. The presence of a huge lanay tree blocked the view of the beach but its shade provided relief for all the loungers downstairs sipping on exotic tropical drinks.
. As I walked out into the beach, I had to take some pictures. The entire sandy area was littered with tanning bodies in all shapes and sizes. The majestic Diamond Head spoke volumes as to where we were...and what to expect. These opening scenes remain firmly etched into my vacation soul as the peace, tranquility and the spirit of aloha were all constant reminders of what is important. We were there to celebrate family. We ended up celebrating life. In the spirit of family, life is celebrated. What an awesome experience.
