Not Long Now Waikiki

My next trip to Hawaii has sprung up rather quickly.  Last night we were trying to figure out the final itinerary in terms of activities during the trip when it occurred to me that I definitely didn't schedule enough time in Hawaii before I make my way back to Sydney, Australia for a family visit.  We are booked solid for four days straight (although I did schedule pool time and beach time in there, thank goodness).  But between dining at Alan Wongs, catching up with friends, attending a luau and celebrating at Duke's Waikiki which is where J & I first met, there isn't going to be much time left. 

I think I need to book another trip for early next year just to relax from this trip.  While it does get cooler over Christmas and New Year, it still beats the nasty Seattle weather.  The biggest challenge is finding time on the schedule to actually go! I'm thinking June, but that just seems so far away.  Let's hope it is sooner than that.

My First Night at Duke's Waikiki

The first time I went to Dukes Canoe Club in Waikiki was in March 2005. For those who haven't been to Waikiki, its one of those places that you just can't miss - right in the center of Waikiki, with a beautiful view of the beach and Diamond Head. Not to mention the good food and GREAT cocktails!

I was with a friend having a few drinks and to my surprise - a gorgeous American man starting chatting us up and teasing us about our accents. Many vacations and over 3 years later, this man is now my husband! Ahhh..... memories!

So for those who haven't been, or for those who call Dukes their home, please have a drink there for us. You can find more info on their website: www.dukeswaikiki.com .
