Day 2 - Waikiki


We got a great restful sleep overnight in the comfortable king sized bed. I slept about 9 hours and Sharon managed around 11 hours.

After some juice and tea for breakfast and then troubleshooting the woeful wifi connection in our apartment by ditching the router and plugging the Macbook straight into the modem we now have a proper internet connection even if I do need to sit on floor near the modem.

I was then able to search the internet for the location of a nearby grocery store. The only one in this part of Waikiki happened to be only one block over from our apartment so we headed out and purchased our weeks worth of grocery items. It's always an experience shopping for groceries in another country. Little difference in packaging and presentation.

We came back and unpacked our groceries and made a nice fresh lunch salad and are now about to head out for some more wondering around and possibly shopping.


Today's Weather

80 Degrees F | 60% Humidity

High pressure far to the northeast and a surface trough near the islands will bring locally strong and gusty trade winds the next couple of days. The atmosphere will also be unstable, due to the presence of a low aloft. Moisture moving in from the east combined with the low aloft will bring a threat of locally heavy showers and thunderstorms, especially over windward areas. A flash flood watch is therefore in effect for all islands.
