T-y for the Hanauma Bay recommendo. Will definitely do, and will try to find KK's ring.

Paddleboard jousting sounds like something I'd be good at. Would love to crush Wondermeal Jr in a joust American Gladiator-style.

Now accepting other food/hike/boating/moderate cliff jumping opportunities in Oahu.

The Royal Hawaiian had good rates on spg (old cat 5) probably got ruined in the switch, but maybe not.  also, rooms might not accommodate your entire brood.

Hilton Hawaiian Village is too big, have stayed there. But maybe that’s good for kids? I’d stay on the North Shore somewhere if possible unless you are going to do a bunch of Honolulu, Waikiki, Pearl Harbor stuff.

We rented a beach house at Kiva Dunes once.  It was pretty great.  Private beach, pool, golf course... good times.

What are we getting a new airport for? I was parked, through security, and am actually early and have to wait a bit to board. What an efficient process, wow!

Good point. Can you go tell those workers in A to pack up and head home. We are good enough here.

Thanks for catching this before it was too late!

As usual, Steve Dave travel tips are on point. Andaz is a great hotel. Rooftop bar is very fun.

Off to Tiajuana after some breakfast!
