I woke up early in the morning and took a long walk. Last time I was in Waikiki was around 1990. when I took my parents to Hawaii using Frequent Flyer points. I was doing a lot of travelling in the late 80’s and had been to Hawaii many times on business. Waikiki has changed a lot since my last visit. The International market which sold tacky Hawaiian tourist gifts is gone (making room for a SACS fifth avenue) and there is a significant increase in upscale retail and chain restaurants.
After my walk, it was off to drive around the Island. A few scenic stops before and after Hanauma Bay. This was a change that was for the better, they have implemented educational videos which make it clear not to disturb the coral reefs and marine life.
