Going to Honolulu
Left work at 3 pm. Went straight back home, picked up our bags and took a taxi to Shinagawa station where I met Chie. At 5:20 pm we were on a NEX train to Narita. Our flight for Honolulu left at 9 pm.
At 9 am we arrived in a sunny Honolulu. We spent most of the day shopping and relaxing. In the evening we had dinner at Takonoki, a Japanese restaurant that we “frequent” or at least we visit every time we are in Honolulu (except last September when Robert joined us because then we had dinner at Duke’s).

Once we got through security we got on a shuttle bus and went to our hotel. The room was not available yet so we just changed clothes and went shopping.
It took us most of the day to visit all the stores we wanted and then some.
We had dinner at the Takonoki, a Japanese restaurant with nice food and very friendly owner.
After dinner we bought some water and went back to the hotel. I was so tired I fell to sleep at once.
Ocean View
A day away from the office. I spent it taking care of the laundry, giving a digital camera to charity, buying sandwiches for our flight and more.
At 4 pm when I met Chie at the Shinagawa station I was quite tired. But that was very good since I spent most of the flight to Honolulu sleeping.
In Honolulu we were pleasantly surprised by two things. First, we could check in to our room already when we arrived at 10 am. Secondly, for the first time at Waikiki Sand Villa we got an ocean view 😉
We spent half an hour on the balcony before we went out for some serious shopping. There are many things we want to buy that are not available in Tokyo. Like iTunes pre-paid cards, for US iTunes. And Lululemon Athletica.
