14 Arrival in Honolu for our first night at The Prince and we had a great view from the room of sunset over the Ala Wai boat harbor
15 View of the Ala Wai Canal from the 31st floor
16 Scared the living bejeezus out of us when this guy rappelled down from above and suddenly appeared right in front of us squeegeeing our 31st floor window!
17 We were practically the only non-Japanese in the sushi restaurant at The Prince. We sat quite a while waiting for someone to bring us menus and take our drink order. Finally a waiter that sort of spoke English explained to us that we had to order everything through the confusing table-mounted tablet. This would work fine if you already knew what you wanted to order since there was no way to browse the menu, you had to drill down into category submenus with cryptic descriptions.
18 After fruitlessly trying to scan through the tablet, we pleaded old-age stupidity and managed to snag a "real" menu to thumb through. Yes please, we certainly would like an order of the salted squid guts apptizer!
19 Putting our recent Elk's membership to good use by watching sunset from Lodge 616 right on Waikiki in the shadow of Diamondhead
