We said goodbye to Kauai and boarded a short flight to Waikiki. As we boarded our flight a girl who was in her twenties, turned around and asked a Hawaiian guy how long it would take to drive to Lihue to Waikiki. I thought the guy was very nice with his response indicating that we don’t yet have cars that allow us to drive across the ocean. He turned to me and made this funny face indicating that he was shocked he was asked this question. Personally, I would have had some fun with her, telling her that you couldn’t drive but I heard you could take the bus.
We were staying in the Moana Surfrider. I had wanted to stay at the Moana Surfrider for a long time. It is was the first hotel built-in Waikiki back in 1901. Each and every time I walked past it with the row of rocking chairs along the front porch, I thought I want to stay there. Unfortunately, travelling is not what it used to be. Frequent Traveler programs where you earn status, free upgrades while receiving discounts make it more tolerable and I didn’t have any sort of status with Starwood hotels. I was happy to hear with Marriott (who I have status with) bought Starwood hotels. I can cross this off my list of things to do!
Although it was not the best hotel that I have stayed in, I enjoyed my stay!
