OK, one evening, I thought, "Let's go to the heart of Waikiki. Hang out at one of the bars, people watch, grab a bite." So we took a cab and headed in, looking forward to some fun times.
The cab let us out at the International market, really close to one hotel we almost stayed at. We got out of the cab and stepped into a sea of people. Think the Vegas Strip on a Friday night...but worse. And there were not lots of bars. There were a few that were over-crowded with tourists and looking not so much fun as silly.
"This can't be all, I thought." So we walked around some more, with the ocean of crowds all around us. OK...I will admit defeat. This was not much fun, I was craving a cool drink, and this was hot, humid and with way too much shopping and way too little fun. So, a cab was quickly hailed. Where to go.
Remember the shopping mall right by the hotel? The outdoor mai tai, tiki bar? Pssion fruit mojitos and live music? That's right! Place was packed...about 85% local...mellow and fun vibe...beautiful women, which meant Sharlynn fit right in. Sat and drank, ate a bit, talked with some locals, listened to some music.
I am so glad we stayed at a hotel out of Waikiki proper...way too crowded and way to touristy. This place we hung out at was way better than any of the bars that I saw.
That was a fun evening.
