​
​FIFTH AVENUE WITH PALM TREES AND ABC's

Picture
...Continued from yesterday:
      
The following day, Tuesday, was our grand daughter's birthday, 
Picture
...and so after breakfast we had a little celebration in her family's hotel room, which was not in fact a room but a suite with two spacious double bedrooms, ​
Picture
Picture
...a living room with a sofa bed,​
Picture
Picture
...a kitchen.
Picture
...and a nice view of Honolulu.
Picture
     It was not by plan that that family was placed in The Castle, which was what my grand daughters called these quarters. I - who made all the Hale Koa reservations - had reserved for my daughter and her family the same standard-style room as I had reserved for the rest of us.
Picture
    But as it turned out, they were accidentally assigned a single room which in no way could comfortably accommodate four people. And so the hotel rectified the mistake by giving them this unoccupied suite. This was definitely some good hotel karma.
     Anyway, it was a good venue for the birthday party, which consisted of the birthday girl opening her presents,

Picture
...then entertaining us with jokes from one of her presents.
Picture
     Her sister, the un-birthday girl also received a gift.
Picture
​      Later most of our group went off for an afternoon of banana-boating, a water sport in which the participants are seated on a long, banana-esque floatie attached by rope to a motor boat which whisks it and its passengers around in the ocean.
Picture
      Theresa and I, however, stayed behind and walked into downtown Waikiki,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...to Kalakaua Avenue, 
Picture
...which one might mistake for Fifth Avenue, ​
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...if not for all the palm trees,
Picture
...the mountains off in the distance on one side,
Picture
...and the beach on the other.
Picture
     However, among the boutiques of the haute couturiers could be found the ABC Stores.
Picture
        The ABC Store is a Honolulu-based convenience chain that sells sundries, souvenirs, Hawaiian clothes, snacks, necessities, 
Picture
Picture
Picture
...lunch,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...dinner,
Picture
...and just about anything else one might find oneself in need of.
      One can scarcely walk a block without coming upon an ABC store, nor does one have to wonder where the closest ABC store is; wherever one is in Honolulu, one is not far from an ABC store, one need only keep walking in any direction.

     It's said that ABC stands for "All Blocks Covered." That's accurate.
