A Stroll through Waikiki (part 2)



We have a winner from last week's blogs - Linda!   I walked as far east as the Queen Kapiolani Park, giving me a view of the resorts towering over Waikiki Beach ...


... and the historic Royal Hawaiian Hotel!


I love watching the water interact with man's attempt to keep it out!


Another view of the breakwater ....


... and Diamond Head!    Would you rather stay in a historic hotel or modern resort?  One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash.  This giveaway is open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, November 10, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, November 11.

Mahalo,

Kim in Hawaii

    As for what I would rather stay in, I think I would choose the modern resort, though I would love to visit a historic hotel :)

  11. I think a modern resort. I still have vivid memories of the cockroaches in our hotel that was several blocks away from Waikiki and I like my internet far too much!
