25C at Waikiki

Visiting a beach at this time of the year will probably be in our annual vacation plans. We left a rainy and pre-winter cold Vancouver and travelled over 5000mi to sunny Hawaii for the first time.

The beaches may not be as powder fine as Boracay, but there are more hotels and designer boutiques steps away from the Waikiki beach just like the pictured colonial Westin Moana SurfRider hotel. We spent 4 nights in Honolulu last Veteran's day.
Spent two days at the beach..rented a car for one day to go kayaking at Kailua, Lanakai beaches. Spent another day (by joining a tour) to visit one of the best snorkelling spots- Hanauma Bay.
We walked along the Waikiki coastline to watch the surfers. Also went to the Ala Moana Mall (which is the biggest outdoor mall in the world), where we saw Tony Romas at the foodcourt.
We are now back in Vancouver, a little tanned and ready to welcome winter and X'mas after being sunkissed on last time in 2008.
