Aloha from Waikiki Beach!
It has been hot and humid and this is the first time for us to experience this in Hawaii. They have had some storms as the waves are higher too than normal but we are enjoying our stay. How can you not with a view like this? 
Here is a close-up picture of the "Pink Palace" which is a historical hotel on Waikiki Beach (Sheraton Royal Lahaina Hotel).
Yesterday, we took a quick courtesy tour (no freebies) at the Wyndham Beach Walk resort. The tour only lasted 15 minutes as they showed us a 1 and 2 br unit and the pool area as we wanted to see that. We hardly discussed prices or points as we told them right upfront that we were not interested in purchasing anything and they got the hint pretty fast so didn't waste time with us.
The 2 br unit was very nice but the 1 br unit wasn't as luxurious in furnishings or the bathroom and kitchen either but still nice enough. Hardly any condos will have a view of the ocean from what we could tell except for the penthouse at the top. They are building the Trump tower right in front of this resort and it will be 38 stories high. The resort is very close to the beach but not on the beach. Right now, there is a lot of construction noise going on but only during the day. Lewers Street has improved a lot from when we saw it two years ago.
We had a hard time finding the "Pink Palace" from the street. Anyway, it was nice to be here for a few days and we will be back again but on the other side of Waikiki Beach closer to Diamond Head. It is less congested there and we like staying at this hotel. We always ask for the same room but this time they gave us a higher floor yet.
We are off to Maui tomorrow. Our week is over before we know.
First day
