Hawaii - 1st 1.5 hours

We arrived last night in Honolulu as scheduled and got checked into our hotel where we met up with my mom who arrived a few hours before us but a number of hours later than scheduled. She didn't have our same good travel luck.

We quickly left the hotel to walk the couple blocks to Waikiki Beach where we watched an amazing midnight fireworks display. When we returned to our hotel around 12:20am, we found that we and the rest of our fellow hotel-mates in the 37-story Hilton Waikiki Beach hotel were locked out of our hotel rooms. Apparently there was a Y2K glitch 13 years late.

After sprawling on the floor outside our rooms, waiting for the single security guard to go floor by floor to let everybody on that floor in with an old-fashioned key, we finally got into bed after what was 24 hours since the alarm clock went off.

Aloha!
