Wednesday, February 13; Ihilani Resort, Oahu

We took a smooth morning flight to Honolulu from Kauai. After retrieving our turquoise compact Hyundai from Advantage we decided to hoof it up the coast to the J.R. Marriott Ihilani Resort. We had to wait to get checked into our room so we watched the huge 3 ft. wide eel in the private tropical lagoon, which was pretty incredible. After the room, and the view from the room, took our breath away we made it down to the pool and faux beach to read and splash in the hot tub (J.R. built his own 4 lagoons, complete with huge gold sand beaches). We signed up for yet another Marriott presentation to get the moolah; that's for tomorrow morning. We also decided to sign up for a discounted zodiac (rubber boat) whale/dolphin excursion for Sunday morning. We'll see how that goes!
Sue took a hot bath while I went up the highway to Safeway...of course I got lost trying to get out of this 'exclusive' gated area. I got garlic shrimp (for Sue) and garlic chicken (for me) at CocoMoco's (or something like that). Anyway, it was typical Hawaiian with side scoops of rice with mac salad (macaroni salad) and a slivers of cabbage.
We're just chilling tonight after a couple of calls from home.
Aloha!
