HAWAII
I got a fare alert for a trip from Cleveland to Honolulu on American Airlines for $318 round-trip. It was a basic economy fare which competes with deals from no-frills, low-cost airlines like Allegiant, Frontier, and Spirit. At that fare I don’t care if they charge me a dollar for every time I cough.
The price of the tickets was only $318, but it got better. You can cancel your ticket within 24 hours of paying for it. But I kept checking the price and it went down to $308 during that 24 hours. So I called them up and they said rather than rebooking the ticket at the lower price they gave us a $10 credit per ticket. So I got the tickets for only $308!
During the time I was booking the Hawaii deal I also got a low fare alert for a ticket from Cleveland to Rome. Only $295 round-trip. That is crazy good. So I had to get the oks to make sure the dates worked. They did and I started to book the tickets. While I was booking the ticket an offer came up for an American Airlines credit card. I would get 50,000 points, a discount, and some perks like free baggage, so I called them about it. I used to have a credit card with American and because I didn’t use it for so long they cancelled it on me. So I had to see if I could get a new one. I couldn’t unless I downgraded the type of card or upgraded it from what I had which meant a higher annual fee. I passed and then went back to buying the ticket. Then as I was getting the ticket it wouldn’t go through. Oh no. Don’t tell me the fares changed in that little bit of time. I jumped on other sites and sure enough, the $295 deal was gone. Ugh. Great fares can change that quick. Sometimes they last only 12 hours before the fares are gone. Most last at least 24 hours. So you have to get them quick. The one for $308 to Hawaii lasted a handful of days.
Here’s a tip on flight deals for Hawaii. Wait until Southwest starts flying there which should be sometime this spring and the cost of flights should drop a bunch. Southwest will also fly between a handful of the islands.
Waikiki
On the day of the flight there was a concern about getting through TSA with the government shutdown. The flight left at 6:40 AM so we had to get there early. We got up at 3:15 AM. The cats jumped when the alarm went off. I fed the fish and I think they were still heavy into REM sleep when I turned the aquarium light on.
The center TSA checkpoint at the Cleveland airport was packed. Only one scanner was in operation instead of the usual two because there weren’t enough TSA agents due to the government shutdown and the line was so long it snaked back into the ticket counter area. They said that the other TSA checkpoint was long, but the line moved quicker. It did. We got through pretty quick.
The problem was with the flight taking off. They shut the door to the plane and we had to wait for the plane to get fueled up and baggage loaded which is usually done way before the close the door. Then the captain gets on and says they have a shortage of baggage personnel. Usually loading luggage is never the reason for a delay in a flight taking off.
There wasn’t much time to get a good deal on a hotel. I went with my go to, Hotels.com. I settled on Coconut Waikiki hotel using an 8% off coupon while using gift cards I got at Giant Eagle to earn Fuelperks. Hotels.com offers a free night after 10 stays and that would also get us our free night stay. It was for around $125 per night and it included a free breakfast. It was very highly rated on Tripadvisor at 4.5 out of 5 which is a great price for a hotel with that rating.
We called the hotel to confirm that It had a balcony and they said they just refurbed the room and gave us a mountainview versus a cityview room. I could have gotten a hotel for around $100 a night, but the rating was lower and I didn’t mind paying more for a much better place.
One little trick to get a better room for the price is to find out if the hotel is being refurbished. So it’s like a new hotel at the old hotel price. Just be careful that it isn’t being refurbished while you are there.
One thing you have to watch out for in Waikiki is the resort fee. They are usually around $25 per night. Some don’t charge it, but it’s rare.
Another thing they nail you with at the hotels is the parking rate. They also run about $25 a day. Way too much when the rental can be had for about the same amount per day. So this time we didn’t get a car. Instead, we used the bus to get around.
I got an Entertainment book for Hawaii for $17. They had them for $20 each and when you buy 2 get 15% off, so I got a Cleveland edition too. Lots of restaurant and entertainment coupons to use while we are on our trip. The Entertainment book is great to get when you are staying in over 110 cities in the U.S. and Canada that have the book, especially on stays of a week or more.
I also got a bunch of Restaurant.com gift certificates for restaurants in Hawaii. Lulus in Waikiki was the best one – they allowed alcohol to be included with their certificates and they had three different deal amounts – great food and Pina Coladas there.
I got a Groupon for a one-and-a-half hour whale watching excursion. Get this. Only $66.75 total for the both of us after a 25% off code (I post the codes on my site or Facebook)! Great deal! Groupon has a lot of activity and entertainment and restaurant deals for cities across the U.S. and other countries.
There is a 5-hour time difference with Hawaii and Cleveland. Using the time difference to our benefit we would get dinner at happy hour times. We used a site to find the best happy hour deals. It was https://www.totalhappyhour.com/. What is great about it is that it will tell you which restaurants are having a happy hour ‘right now’.
The happy hours were decent at most places. One place had them for $5 for well drinks and that included bourbon. It included a mixer so that it was similar to an Old Fashioned. One bartender got it and said do you want me to add a slice of orange. Yes. A cherry. Yes. Viola, an Old Fashioned for the price of a well drink. He even added bitters. Keep the customers happy!
We had our favorites and we came to some multiple times. One place, Doraku Sushi, the manager introduced himself and we chatted with him for a bit. Then he says he’s going to get us some sake. He got us a little carafe of sake and it was good. He gave us more sake on the house during another visit to the restaurant. The restaurant sold a whole squid (calamari). It was grilled and included the arms and all. Yummy stuff.
Wolfgang Puck
We went to Wolfang Puck’s restaurant. While we were there we noticed that a guy and his wife were being treated real well by the staff. All of them would greet them and usually kiss them. I asked who it was and they said Wolfgang Puck himself and his wife! He stopped by us and we chatted for a bit. I asked him about opening a restaurant in Cleveland. He said he was planning to open one in Boston.
We went back there and he was there again. The bartender said he goes there every day. We sat at the bar and the bartender that served us before got us our two glasses of wine and said it was on the house for being return customers. He then proceeds to fill up our glasses when we are half finished, again on the house. The same thing happened when we were there on our first visit. Apparently, I exude an aura of accepting freebies that some people nicely accommodate.
Banyan Tree
It happened again when we were at the airport. At TGIFridays I asked if I could use my rewards points. They said yes, so I redeemed 100 points for a free entrée. I got a salad with salmon. The salmon was undercooked so we sent it back to get cooked through. The manager comes back and says that it was on the house and that it was the first time they made salmon there. I told them I hope it wasn’t a filet that had been sitting for a couple years. She said no. So another free meal even when I was going to use my points to get it free anyway.
Dog the Bounty Hunter
We met some other famous people. I was reading the newspaper and saw that Dog The Bounty Hunter was having a moving sale. He was getting kicked out of the place he rented as the owner was developing the property. So he was selling his stuff and also having a meet and greet. I watched the show a decent amount and got a kick out of the show, so it was neat to meet him.
Beth
We got in line and it took awhile. Around two hours. He is just as wrinkled and tan as he is on the show. Beth was much skinnier because she has esophageal cancer, stage 4. She looked great though. They talked to us for a bit. He talked about the Browns some and that Ohio needs to legalize marijuana. She talked some about having to watch what she says. She had some kind of spirit stick I think to ward off bad spirits and she would shake it some people. I didn’t vanish, so I guess I was good.
As I mentioned they were having a moving sale. So they had stuff in the parking lot for sale. Clothes, shoes, paper files that included cases and financial info, and other oddball stuff. I asked my wife about buying a pair of Beth’s super high-heeled shoes. I got a negative on that. I did find out that they were priced $5, $3, or $1. The guy said it all depended on how ratty the shoe was. Nobody was buying anything which surprised me as they were interesting souvenirs that could probably fetch a good buck on eBay. I did get one thing. I found a gift list of people that Beth wrote. Dog’s real name, Dwayne, was on it and first on the list. I asked the guy how much it was. He said probably a dime, but he couldn’t charge for paper. So I got the list for free. The freebie theme continues.
The weather was a bit chilly, windy, and at times too cloudy. The water was colder than I remember too. When I spoke with a bartender about the Great White shark that was in the area he explained why the water was colder. He said that because of climate change and the glaciers melting the water around Hawaii was cooler and in the past there was never Great Whites around Hawaii and now there is because the water is colder. They inhabit areas like the coast of California and South Africa where the water it always cold, so now with the water around Hawaii being colder they are spotted there more often.
Speaking of the Great White that was spotted there. It was around 20 feet and was last seen some years ago around Mexico. It was feeding on a whale carcass not far from Waikiki. They had to tow the carcass another 15 miles from shore to keep the sharks away from the beaches. The carcass then came back to shore while we were there. And no I didn’t take a slice of blubber as a souvenir. I did snorkel a ton and swan about a mile out a couple times. No sharks spotted. The only interesting creature I saw was a large moray eel.
We did go to Hunama bay for snorkeling. Great snorkeling there. We took the bus which was on $5.50 roundtrip for an all day pass. We then walked over to Kona Brewing for happy hour.
We took a whale watching tour with Pink Sails Hawaii. I got it on Groupon for only $60. Super cheap. I used a 25% off code on it. We did see a couple whales. The best thing was that it was a perfect day weather-wise. Very sunny and the ocean was calm. The captain said that it was rare to see the mountains as they were usually covered with clouds.
A fish posing for a picture – not a walleye.
The one thing that is very evident there is the number of homeless people. Lots of them had obvious mental issues. They were everywhere. With housing so expensive there it is hard to find a place to live. There are a ton of jobs there, mostly service-industry related, but they don’t pay enough to afford housing. Unemployment is only 2.9% so you’d think jobs would pay more, but no. Even with the huge tax cuts, businesses aren’t using it for workers. A story just came out that only 4% used the tax cut money to accelerate hiring. So there is an obvious imbalance with businesses not investing in people like they used to. Rather the money went into increasing stock value of which many poor people can’t take advantage of.
The grocery prices are around double or more than what we pay in the Cleveland area. For instance, a gallon of milk costs $5.29. You can get in for $1.99 in Cleveland. Even bananas or pineapples, which are grown there, cost a ton. Gas was around $3.15 to $3.50 a gallon.
I did use my Extra Bucks at CVS…or Long Drugs as they are known there. The cashier commented on how much I saved using them.
An odd thing happened when I was paying for the bill at one place. The waitress dropped my credit card and the chip that is on the card popped out! I thought those things were embedded, but I must have used it too much to the point it got loose. I had to order a new one.
After eating too much I needed to burn off some calories and I was able to play some volleyball. I played with and against Russians, Ukrainians, Canadians, Austrians, and some others. I asked the one Russian if they could help pay for the wall. He laughed. Oddly enough, he looked like Putin.
Before we went home we did a massage at a place in Waikiki. All the walking, swimming, and volleyball caught up to me along with the travel sores you get from being squashed on the plane. The place was 123 Spa. Gotta wonder about these places if they are sketchy or not. I read the reviews and they were on Groupon so they had to be legit. The deal we got was spectacular. For $75 they did a 75 minute massage total for the both of us. Not $75 each, but $75 total. I used a 20% off code with the deal. The massage was great. Just as in Japan, she did this thing where she got on my back and used her knees to work out the knots. Hey, whatever. As long as it got the knots out, I’m good. I believe they were Chinese and pretty much didn’t speak a lick of English. They had to use a smartphone to translate. I made sure I read it to make sure it translated right. Umm, yeah. Don’t need any surprises.
Diamond Head – an old dormant volcano near Waikiki.
One bummer was that our hotel was not as good as I would have liked. The noise from the traffic was very bad and we were facing one of the major roads. The clue was that they provided ear plugs for their guest that were next to the bed. Nice view with a balcony, but not if I have to hear the roar of traffic while I was sleeping. We ended up switching rooms, but it still was noisy. The manager, who wasn’t customer-friendly gave me excuses that all hotels there had to deal with the noisy traffic. Not true because we stayed at other places and I don’t recall any noise issues. I had to go toe to toe with him to refund some monies due to the issues we had. Won’t be staying there again. It was so highly rated on Tripadvisor that I have to wonder if some of the reviews were bogus.
We got flight alerts coming home because of the polar vortex. The airline said we could change our flight free of charge even though our ticket was basic economy. I could have changed It to come home later than our original departure date. Instead, we changed our flight from a two-stop to a one-stop, so that we could avoid flying out of Chicago which took the brunt of the cold snap. I didn’t want to be stranded there. In the end our original flight did get back to Cleveland, albeit a little later, but not that much.
I found the basic economy fare, even with it’s limitations, was well worth it. When I checked in for the flight it assigned the seats and they were usually decent ones with us next to each other. We changed it afterwards to get even better seats without having to pay more. We still got the same food that everyone got too. The only downside was that we were in class 5 which is where the bulk of travelers get assigned so we had to get in line early so that we wouldn’t have to fight for overhead cabin space.
A plus was that we used one of our United Club passes in Honolulu that United sends to us each year for having their credit card. The food there was better than most places. The airport and club was a bit outdated though.
We had a harsh arrival back home. We got back to negative temperatures after laying on the beach the day before. Mr Heat Miser we can use your magic right now.
