We are booked for Wed, March 12-18th Phx to Oahu.
First two nights will be in a Wyndham timeshare in Waikiki. Then we check into Aulani (hotel room) on Friday the 14th- Tues the 18th with our flight leaving at 9:15 pm that evening.
Here's what I've got so far:
Wed- Arrive at 11:45am in Oahu.
Pick up rental car.
Check in at timeshare.
Hit a store for some snacks and breakfast.
Find a place to eat. (Not sure where this will be yet)
Maybe a walk on the beach or some shopping
Thurs- Head for Pearl Harbor (already reserved the tickets)
Afternoon if time: Go checkout the beach if we didn't get to it the night before.
Dinner in the timeshare.
Fri- Pack up, check out, head out to Hanauma Bay for snorkeling.
Quick lunch when we are done.
Head back to timeshare to pick up stored luggage.
Head to Aulani to check in.
Hopefully get our room and then make a quick grocery run. Or maybe
we should do the shopping first and then check in???
Enjoy the resort. Swim, hang out in the lagoon. Hot tub baby!
Dinner in our room. Probably just a salad and some deli items as
we don't have a kitchen or even a kitchenette.
Sat- North Shore- Waimea hike, Turtle beach, Stop at shrimp trunk and
at Dole Plantation for a look around and Dole Whips
Back to Aulani to relax and swim
Dinner at Monkeypods
Sun- Relax at resort. Hit pool and beach first. Then lunch sandwiches in room.
Menehune Trail.
Maybe walk over to the Marriott
Ama Ama for dinner for dh and I.
Pick up some quick service for kids.
Mon- Possible surf lessons for dh and ds.
Drive the coast
Shopping?
Must get some Malasadas if we haven't already.
Back to Aulani.
Dinner? Pizza or Just Tacos or even quick service
Starlit Hui.
Tues- Last Day
Hang at Aulani. Snorkel, swim etc.
Lunch- sandwiches and chips to finish off stuff
One last snack- shave ice or mickey ice cream
Shower and clean up.
Dinner ?
Head out to airport at 6:30ish
We weren't really interested in hiking Diamond Head, the Polynesian Center or the Kaloa Ranch so those aren't on our list. Also, I wanted to allow lots of relaxing and enjoying the resort time. We may only get there this one time. We are staying in the hotel as we aren't owners.
I wanted to make sure I left time to just drive and explore and stop as we wished. Dh doesn't like to be too over scheduled.
But I feel like we got some of the major things that we really wanted to do in there- Hanauma bay, Waimea waterfall, Pearl Harbor and stops at food trucks, Dole and for Malasadas and shave ice.
What do you guys think? Not enough stuff planned? Or just right?
Also should we pick up groceries and then checkin to avoid having to leave the resort after checkin?? Do they have a place to keep our groceries if we are waiting on a room? We won't have a lot as we are just in a regular hotel room but I did think we'd pick up deli meat, and cheese for sandwiches. The rest of the items will just be like muffins, chips, other snacks, bread, alcohol and coffee creamer.
We are so excited!! Kids don't know about Aulani yet! The oldest is so disappointed thinking we aren't going to stay there. She is begging us to just make a stop so we can look around and say we saw it! She is going to freak out when we tell her!
Thanks for any input or advice!
