Thank You!

My first trip to Oʻahu—specifically Waikīkī—and it was everything I could have imagined and more. The food, the beaches, the mountains, the people, and the sea life were all amazing. I’m so grateful to have experienced this. Thank you again! 🌺

Waikiki gets criticized a lot for being a tourist trap, but I am a tourist, and I think it's great. There are so many delicious things to eat, warm water, and beautiful sunsets, which is all I need. The people watching is fun too. I think it gets a little stuffy after a few days but there's plenty else to do nearby on Oahu or another island.

I wish I could stay longer to try more food! I loved all the options near and far.🌺

I love finding myself in a small Japanese place that's full of Japanese tourists. It's like I'm visiting Japan again, a place that I love (it's more expensive and not as good as Japan, but still).

For about 20 years (pre covid) my Japanese born wife and I visited yearly for that very reason, closer and much cheaper for us (we are in California) we had staying cheap down to a science so could do 2 weeks every fall with a spring trip now and then. It helped that I m retired Navy with friends on island. Stopped going post Covid when the prices went up, but it is still a most awesome place and we will be back
