On Friday morning (3/11/11), I got a call from my mom telling me that there was a tsunami warning in Hawaii.  We checked our flight and it was still scheduled to leave so there were no worries.  Once we got to the airport that morning, I tried to check in at the kiosk and for some reason, my name was no longer on the itinerary.  Thankfully it wasn’t too busy at the ticket counter and the ladies helped us get it all squared away.

The flight was bumpy but I managed to take a little nap.  Yoon picked us up at the airport and said that we lucked out with out timing. Apparently HNL was closed all morning until noon.  We landed at about 12:20.  Nice.

Once in Waikiki, there were no signs of danger anywhere.  Only thing was that the beach outside of the hotel was not as crowded but otherwise all was well.  Our first stop after checking in was Ramen Nakamura, Jes’ favorite ramen place in Hawaii.  It was delicious but Jes was saying that maybe it wasn’t as good as he remembered.  Oh  noes…

After our late lunch, we sat out at Beach Bar sipping fruity drinks and reading.  The weather was warm but not too hot.

Dinner was at Sushi Izakaya Gaku and we ordered omakase.  Chef prepared a bunch of cool items including chawanmushi, oysters, and seaweed salad.  It was delicious.
