We arrived in Honolulu in early afternoon and were met by a car and driver-with orchid leis for each of us. That was lovely. I love orchids and the leis were very pretty. (They are now decorating the light fixtures in our hotel room.)
Our hotel, Hotel Renew, is only about a half block from Waikiki beach. It's a nice, small boutique hotel. It's modern and Zen and crisp. I like it a lot. The location is fantastic. We are, I gather, at the Diamond Head end of the beach.
We had lunch at the Tiki Grill. The food was good but the pisco sour was divine! Nonie and I fell in love with pisco sours when we were in Peru and it is not often we find them on a drinks menu.
Auntie Bella's Lei Shop....one way to know you've arrived in Hawaii!
And just in case the lei shop wasn't a big enough clue, the surf board lock up along the Waikiki beach would be a dead give away. I've seen ski lockups before, but never one for surf boards.
This is going to be a great trip!

Sounds like a good start to an exciting holiday probably a bit warmer too.
I'm GREEN with envy.
Sob...
WOW! That ring looks looped!
So happy you're there and warm. The sun is out today, but it's chilly.
