Feb 12 - AA to DFW to HNL leave 6 AM; arrive 4:25 PM. We expected to stay at the Marriott Waikiki, where we stayed on our trip last February, to earn some additional Marriott Rewards points - an obsession. However, I decided to see if I could get a better deal using Priceline and ended up with a good price at the Ala Moana Hotel (near the marina, shopping center and a lovely park and beach). When I found an even better price at the Hotel's Web site, I contacted Priceline and, based on their low price guarantee, they quickly adjusted the price! So...we have a 4 star hotel, good location and price and the taxi/shuttle fare from the airport is less. We're there for 2 nights.
Feb 13 - Honolulu - since we know Honolulu well, we will try to visit a few places that we haven't been on earlier trips - perhaps the Bishop museum and China town. We'll also use our Club Corp membership to eat at the Plaza Club that overlooks Aloha Tower. We ate there with our dear friends, Ed and Pam, in Feb. and really enjoyed it (and we get 2 complimentary meals!).
Feb 14 - Our Hawaiian Airlines flight to Sydney leaves at 12:05 PM. Several of our Cruise Critic Roll Call friends will be on the same flight, so first meeting will be at the airport. It's a 10 hour flight that crosses the International Dateline so we arrive on the 15th in the evening.
