We're finally in Honolulu. We are off the ship! Thank goodness!
We have discovered over the past ten days that cruising is just not for us. I like to see things more thoroughly than you seem to be permitted to on a cruise. We were only ashore in each place from around 8.30am until 4.30pm and, for me, this was not long enough to experience each place properly. I love to try new food and drink, but the cruise itself was so expensive that you felt you really had to get your money's worth during breakfast, before disembarking for the day, which meant that by dinner time (lunch for you posh folk) you were still stuffed from breakfast. It was the same with drinks. The beer is 'free' on the boat, so why pay for it ashore if you can help it? If only we were rich and could just drink all the beer...
We stayed in an Airbnb. We have used Airbnb a few times and have been really pleased each time and this was no exception. The view we had was awesome, and the place was conveniently located near all the things we wanted to see, as well as being almost next door to Waikiki Brewing Company.
We visited twice in our short stay as it was so good and really just a little too convenient. We each had four wee beers to taste, making sure they were all different ones as I don't like to think that I'm missing out on anything. The beers were awesome, my particular favourite being 'Jalapeno Mouth'. I just LOVE chili beer and I now seem to be seeking it out wherever I go. No luck so far though. Brewdog did one called 'Chili Hammer' a year or so ago and it was really good but it's not available anymore. I'll keep looking.
