We left Maui for a stint of less than 24 hours to be spent in Honolulu before heading home. We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village at the far end of Waikiki beach. I was a bit suspicious of a "28 acre resort" site unseen but since I was using Hilton points rather than being a full paying customer I wasn't in a position to be too particular. It turned out to be a beautiful resort and we truly enjoyed our brief stay there. The grounds were lush and full of tropical plants and animals such as swans, penguins, turtles and birds. Rob found a great source for affordable food at the Army compound adjacent to the hotel. He liked it so much we ate both dinner and breakfast there. Never let it be said that I am not a cheap date! That evening we viewed an energetic hula and fire dancing show and were treated to a short but spectacular fireworks extravaganza on the beach behind the hotel.
