We had breakfast at the Surf Lanai, the hotel’s restaurant. I went with the eggs Benedict, and Sophon ordered the signature pink pancakes with a side of bacon. Both were great, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head never gets old.
After breakfast, we took a walk through Waikiki. Earlier in the week I’d spotted a hot sauce from a local Hawaii company that I really liked, and I was determined to find it again. The problem? Trying to remember which ABC Store we were in. I have no idea how many ABC Stores Waikiki has, but we checked at least six within a couple of blocks. Eventually, I gave up — they blend together after a while.
We headed back to the hotel to pack up for our flight but took one last walk around the Royal Hawaiian. I really enjoyed staying there — zero complaints.
The flight to Lihue was quick and painless, which is all you can ask for these days. We grabbed the rental car and drove to Poipu, where we were staying. As we pulled into the Sheraton Kauai Resort Villas, it hit me: years ago I worked on a project at Kiahuna Plantation right next door. Back then I stayed at the Islander on the Beach in Lihue, so this was my first time actually staying in Poipu.
We got settled into the room and then headed out for dinner. We wandered around Koloa Town, checked out a few spots, and ended up choosing pizza — simple, easy, and exactly what we wanted.
