Lanaikai Beach & Honolulu

(Katherine) Today was our first opportunity to see my friend Michelle from college, who was the lovely bride-to-be. She had selected the amazing Lanikai Beach as a meeting point as a wedding guest “activity,” and we ran into another one of my sorority sisters on the beach - Diana, and her husband Andy. The beach is absolutely beautiful, and apparently it is a popular destination for kayaking and paddling out to a set of islands. However, we decided to just linger on the beach, and then finally made our way into Honolulu where I had booked us 2 back to back massage appointments. I had been saving 2 SpaFinder gift certificates from a previous employer for about 6 years which I planned to use one day on a honeymoon with my future husband (yes, I'm the consummate planner!) I wouldn't say it was the best massage we had each ever had, but the gal was extremely knowledgeable and tried to help explain to me why I get such bad knots in my upper back. Basically, bad posture is a huge culprit (I knew it!)


I then left Robert for a little bit to attend a happy hour for Michelle with several of her local girlfriends. I had a great time meeting them, but I hurried back to Robert after about an hour so I wouldn't abandon him on our first night out in Honolulu. We headed to Duke's for dinner which was absolutely packed – we were lucky to find an awesome table in the bar. Afterward we wandered around the strip and accidentally walked right through an exclusive party at the Sheraton – I stayed at this hotel years ago and didn't even recognize it with the amazing remodel they have done which includes an infinity pool. I would definitely stay there again on another trip to Oahu!
