Friday in Waikiki

This will be a very short blog post, as the Hawaiian spirit overtook us and not much happened that bears elaboration.  We woke up very late -- 9am -- we really needed that sleep.  After a breakfast of Starbucks coffee and fruit, we head down to the Hilton's casual restaurant on the beach called Tropics.  It is already lunchtime, and I have the grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich and Rob has the Mahi Mahi soft tacos.  Our plan consists of nothing more than walking up the beach and returning, so that is what we do.  

Back at the Hilton, we spend the rest of the afternoon lounging by the pool in the Ali'i Tower.  That's it!

Dinner tonight is at Roy's Waikiki.  It is fabulous.  We start with sushi rolls that I wish I could detail out the ingredients, but I really don't remember.  Just really good.  We each then have a green salad.  Rob finishes with a half portion of the butterfish, and I have the half portion of the ahi island tuna.  When I see the lady who is the manager walk by at the end of the meal, I wave her over because I remember her from when we ate at Roy's many years ago.  It turns out she is the person I remember, and she is very pleased to be remembered.  We have a nice conversation with her -- she is named Dina.  We all  laugh when she asks me my name, and I reply "Roy."  She says, "Hold on," and leaves for a minute, returning with a Roy's bag and a giant stack of Roy's coasters.  Perfect for me, obviously!

We walk back and turn in.  That was our day!
