In 1998, my husband's father and step-mother asked us to accompany them on a trip to Hawaii, one of their favorite places. They paid for the airline tickets and arranged for the rooms, all we had to do was take enough money for food, fun and souvenirs. August was the time to go, they decided, since the 40th annual Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament would be going on at the Kailua-Kona public pier right below our hotel. They knew Darrell, an avid off-shore fisherman, would love to see the boats and the catch come in every day.
With all that done, off we went on a tropical adventure which started on August 1st, 1998. After the long plane ride from Orlando, we arrived in Honolulu, picked up the rental car and went to check in at the the Hale Koa Hotel. The Hale Koa is a military personnel hotel where Darrell's dad, being a retired Navy man, was eligible to book our rooms. It's a gorgeous hotel, right on Waikiki Beach, with an open air reception area and great restaurants and shops. Our room did not face the water but looked out over the buildings behind the beach and the stunning mountains beyond them. It was just as beautiful at night, when the buildings glittered and the mountains disappeared.
We took a walk on the beach with these two handsome men and watched the sunset over Waikiki then went to bed to rest up and get ready to explore Oahu for the next couple of days.
