Just Back From 5 Days on Oahu

Just Back From 5 Days on Oahu

Morning sunlight warms up these Waikiki Beach surfboards before their day of action begins. Andy was invited to speak at a conference in Honolulu, so we seized the opportunity to get back to Oahu. Our schedules and commitments at home only allowed us five days on the island. Five days zoomed by quickly, but five days in Hawaii still rocks! Know what I mean? So, what did we get up to this time around? We stayed pretty busy. Here’s a quick summary: Hotels We spent the first two nights at Ala Moana Hotel by the Ala Moana Shopping Center . The hotel has been newly renovated and was quite nice, especially considering that rates start at $109 per night. We stayed here because the conference was held here. We still found that we were gravitating towards Waikiki Beach, which was a doable walk away. If you need a Honolulu hotel  that’s business friendly, the Ala Moana is a great place. If you’re in tourist mode, it’s not that convenient to attractions. The last three nights, we headed out to Ko Olina (Oahu west coast) to the JW Marriott Ihilani for some relaxation. It’s a lovely resort where 85% of the rooms have ocean views. We had a great view of the lagoon from our room. The rooms and balcony (lanai) are very spacious and well laid out. This resort is in the middle of a room renovation that’s due to be complete in January. I got a sneak peak at the renovated rooms and they look fantastic. I’ll write more about the resort and renovated rooms in an upcoming post. Activities & Attractions We spent almost an entire day at Bishop Museum in Honolulu. We were particularly interested in the Hawaiian Hall and the planetarium. I’ll share more later. One of our priorities on this trip was to see the Polynesian show HA: Breath of Life at the Polynesian Cultural Center . From everything we had heard, we had high expectations of this show. We were not disappointed. We loved it!  I’ll share more soon. After seeing HA , we took a fun Haunted Lagoon canoe ride at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I’ll aim to write more about it this week. We’ve been wanting to get out to Waimea Valley for a while. Waimea Valley features botanical gardens, cultural presentations and a 45-foot waterfall for swimming. To be honest, we weren’t that impressed with their gardens. We were disappointed that they don’t provide a map which would help to provide guidance of the features, distances and how to allocate our time. If you want to swim below a waterfall in a safe environment, the waterfall here is great for that. There’s are lifeguards on duty and life jackets. The lifeguards were friendly and helpful. I wish I could say that about the other employees we encountered. At the JW Marriott Ihilani, there’s a new Polynesian dinner show, Fia Fia that’s offered on Thursday nights. It was very well done with an exceptionally entertaining and talented chief who leads you throughout the evening entertainment. If you’re staying out that way, I recommend that you arrange to see it. I’ll be writing more later. We indulged in a couples massage at the Ihilani Spa . Actually, the spa facility is closed for renovations, but the staff had set up spa suites for massages. Andy said his massage was probably the best he’s had at a resort. Restaurants We enjoyed dining at these locations: Hau Tree Lanai at the New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel on Waikiki Beach for dinner. Kai Market at Sheraton Waikiki for breakfast. Eggs ‘N Things in Waikiki for breakfast. Naupaka Terrace at JW Marriott Ihilani for breakfast and dinner. Roy’s in Ko Olina for lunch. I had a sweet Asian shrimp, bacon and avocado wrap that was very, very good. Andy definitely had food envy. So, that’s our trip in a (macadamia) nutshell. I just wanted to summarize it in case it helps you for your trip planning. We’re on facebook!

New High Definition Waikiki Webcam

Tuesday, July 6, 2010

0 Comments

Watch outrigger canoe paddlers muscle through the Waikiki surf. Whether you’re heading to Waikiki, just got back, or day-dreaming of watching that blue surf gently roll to the golden sand beaches of Waikiki – you’ll be captured by this new high definition Waikiki webcam provided by the nice folks at Ohana Beach Rentals Hawaii . What sets this Waikiki webcam apart from others is that it’s in high definition and offers a unique perspective from atop the fifteen-story, oceanfront  Diamond Head Beach Hotel & Residence . From that position, the webcam offers 180-degree vantage point for the HD Surf & Sunset Camera that has been pre-set with 18 top surf spots, swimming locales and coastal view planes for viewers to choose. Use of the HD Surf & Sunset Camera and viewing of its images over the web is free to the general public. One of the most impressive features however is the ability for the web user to take control of the HD Surf & Sunset Camera to freely pan, zoom-in and zoom-out, and change viewing points of the device. Due to the HD surf camera’s high-quality 1080p video capturing capabilities, images are crisp, colorful and quite impressive when viewed on a personal computer – especially with a high-speed internet connection. To take control of the camera, viewers are put into waiting queues. Once a user receives control, they have a two-minute time span to control the device via the on-screen control tabs. What’s cool is that an advanced zooming feature has been added to the control panel allowing a user to use their mouse pointer to draw a box around a particular object or image area to immediately zoom into a desired location on the screen. As a user waits in a queue, they can view the live video stream as it takes place. At some nearby locales to the Diamond Head Beach Hotel & Residences, you can zoom directly into the water to see close-up and amazing surfing action, ocean events and beach activity. At other long-distance locations, you can see impressive crescent views of Waikiki Beach (as far as the Hilton Hawaiian Village) and coastal images as far as Honolulu Harbor to Ewa. Some of the popular pre-set viewing points include:  B one Yards Surf Spot  Castles Surf Spot  Old Mans Surf Spot  Publics Surf Spot  Rice Bowls Surf Spot  Suicides Surf Spot  Tonggs Surf Spot  Diamond Head Ocean Vista  Hawaiian Sunset Coastal View  Waikiki Beach Close-Up  Waikiki Beach Wide Shot  Fireworks Waikiki (evening fireworks on Friday nights and special holidays) Aside from all of the surf and ocean activity, web viewers can also see some impressive evening activities when the camera goes into its evening grayscale mode – especially on Friday nights as the Hilton Hawaiian Village presents its evening fireworks extravaganza . On New Years Eve and July 4th holidays, you’ll be able to watch the fireworks from the convenience of your computer.
