We will remember dinner at SanSei for a while. Good atmosphere, food, and service. Here's what one of our Sushi dishes looked like.
On our last whole day left in Hawaii, we planned to rent a car and take it up to Diamond Head and parasail. Seemed like a good plan, problem was Waikiki had very few available cars, and I didn't want to spend $150 to rent a Crossfire for a half day.
Based on our experiences the past couple days, Waikiki is just a bit too busy for us. Going from the resort lifestyle to Waikiki required too much adjusting. I'm sure we'll consider spending time on another island next time, either Maui or maybe Hawaii, the big island.
We ended up coming back to the Outrigger, which by the way was quite disappointing last night in terms of noise level. The paper thin walls and poorly designed plumbing from adjacent rooms kills any chance of getting quality rest at night. Our plan: to get on the sail boat tour, or take surf lessons. Guess what, surf lessons were sold out and the sail boat we planned to tour on was reserved for a private party until much later in the day. Things weren't going our way, but we weren't going to let it get us down so we rented a couple inflatable rafts (for about $10, nothing is cheap) and drifted on the ocean for a couple hours. That ended up being quite relaxing for both of us.
After dinner with family, we're now packing up for a 8:45 departure from the hotel tomorrow morning. It's quite sad, yes, but we had a great time.
