What a great vacation. Everything went smooth, going out two of us even got pre-check through
security and all of us got pre-check coming home. We saw no problems getting through security
in St. Louis or in Honolulu.

Hawaii was everything we hoped it would be, perfect
weather, plenty of sunshine and great beaches. Waikiki
was not as crowded as we thought it might be which
was great for us. Of course there was all types of
sunbathers but I was somewhat surprised that there was
not a whole lot of skimpy suits. Most people seemed
to be more modest. The view from the condo was
fabulous and even though it was across the street,
you just walked out, pushed the walk button and crossed
the street and you were at the beach.

Our condo was the best, clean and stocked with eating and cooking utensils. They cleaned and made sure we had fresh towels each day. The staff was very helpful with any info we needed. They can book trips for you but again it was so nice to have that done ahead. There was a grocery store within walking distance that was reasonable so we were able to stock up.
Pearl Harbor was a must, very moving and a good history
lesson for the young. I highly recommend pre booking
the trip through you. They sell out of tickets by noon
most days and the lines are long if you do this on your own.
Also you are not allowed to take any bags onto the grounds unless it is see through and then you have to go through security and wait for a ranger to come check your bag. Cameras and phones and wallets that will fit in your pocket can go in. They do have a place where you can check your bags for a fee.

I recommend that you check into the trolley system when you get there. It does cost but you can get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time and I would also recommend that you buy a three or five day pass. We were able to take the Blue line up the coast to Sandy Beach with stops along
the way for photos. The green line took us up and into Diamond head creator and the pink line takes you around town to any restaurants and shops. A two day ticket was $45 and a five day was $65. You can ride all day as many time as you want on any of these lines.
Do not and I repeat do not take many clothes. You do not need them We over packed, we could
have taken a third of what we did.
The Stadium Swap meet is a must. The hotel got us a van to and from the meet that was $12
person round trip and it was a $1 to get in. Anything and everything you could buy in Honolulu
was at least half the price and even less. We were going to stay two hours and decided to do four
and could have done the 6 hours. It is open on Wed, Sat and Sundays.
Thanks for making all of this easy and enjoyable.
Hope to be back in touch with you in about
three years for another trip back.
