We arrived around noon, checked into our hotel, and quickly changed into shorts and sandals. I’m guessing this will be the standard dress code for the remainder of the trip. We had a great buffet lunch (not all buffets are bad, just most of them) at Duke’s. We spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening walking around Waikiki and soaking up the warmth and the fresh breezes. You can’t look at palm trees and not smile. And those otherworldly Banyan Trees! There is a painting waiting to happen.
Behold the beached whale!
