The whole plane ride from SEA > HNL was soooooooo uncomfortable.. maybe it was due to the pressurized cabin .. the moment I touched down on HNL.. I was bleeding profusely > the MOST I had ever\u00a0seen since puberty. No joke!<\/p>\n

While BH waited for our lugguage, I was leaking like a tap… rusty tap! \ud83d\ude41 very moody and sianz… I was so angry with myself for being such a WET blanket ( literally)<\/p>\n
We collected our rental car and drove straight to the vacation condo ( we rented direct from the owner > we will NEVER do this again because we need to clear the trash and clean up the place before we leave???!!! It’s a holiday and no housework is supposed to be done! cost wise is only abt $100\u00a0less\u00a0than Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel)<\/p>\n
At this pt.. I was very irritated as I had already stained my pants!!! grrr… so naturally I went to wash up and changed to another pair of pants. We left for lunch. Guess what? It’s only 15 mins and I stained my new pair of pants! \ud83d\ude41 No choice, we needed to modify our plan for the day<\/p>\n
I felt so sorry for BH as he needed to ‘waste’ time because of me.. BUT BH was awfully nice.. he was like “nvm.. we can go walk along the beach..”<\/p>\n
Went back to the condo and did my laundry.. luckily, there was a dryer downstairs – so BH brought my clothes to the dryer<\/p>\n
A pic of us waiting for my pants to dry – sianz.. forcing a smile. Not a good start to the getaway<\/p>\n

Right after the ‘red sea’ episode – the coast was miracously clear!! With no time to waste, we went for Diamond Head Monument<\/strong> as planned<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We were kinda rushing for time so we hike up real fast. This is when I felt that my gym sessions helped me a whole lot \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Finally, after abt 45 mins of fast walking and climbing, we reached!<\/p>\n The view of Honolulu was spectacular<\/p>\n Would love to spend more time here BUT we are running short of time \ud83d\ude41 So we made our way down reluctantly…<\/p>\n Honolulu was indeed love at 1st sight!<\/p>\n ————-<\/p>\n Got back to the condo.. refreshed ourselves, got changed and headed to the much raved Alan Wong’s<\/a> for dinner<\/p>\n We made reservation at 6pm and we reached on time!<\/p>\n Love the menu with our names printed – it was a HUGE ‘WOW’! even the staff signed on the menu! how cool! we requested to have window seat.. which was so awesome coz we saw a double rainbow! \ud83d\ude00 a good omen !<\/p>\n To us, the food was alright. We waited a long while for each dish to be served!! hmm… We don’t understand what’s so good abt this place except the personalised menu ( which they gift wrapped it so that we can bring home)\u00a0<\/p>\n BH ordered a 7 course sampler while we shared like 3 appetizers ( pictures only show some food). Don’t look at the small portion – It was a fulling dinner! ok.. the only saving grace of that night’s dinner was the coconut ice-cream dessert<\/p>\n Total damage: US$160 ( the price for fine dining!! Not worth it imo, I will choose Dahlia’s Lounge <\/a>anytime)<\/p>\n ———<\/p>\n At the end of the day, BH was like ” it’s not a bad day afterall right? ” Indeed.. the day asn’t perfect BUT at least it ended well \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was purely a spontaneous decision to go to Hawaii this yr – I mean our only holiday was supposed to be the Singapore-Korea trip next mth. However, there was a great deal on Hawaii flights and it coincides with our wedding anniversary + US labour day long weekend.. so we seized the opportunity and … <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/DH1.jpg\" "\\"DH1\\"")
