Two Tickets to Paradise.. Ko'Lina Oahu ...Mr & Mrs. Momddtravel
Greetings my Fodor friends!
Many thanks going out to all of those that assisted me in planning our special 13 year anniversary trip to Oahu. This is going to be long winded...so tune in, grab a good glass of wine, hot tea or whatever your drink of choice is and come along for our amazing 6 nights.
The players - myself, 41 year old woman who is a nursing student and recently was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. Husband, 50 (something ha!), sort of displaced upper executive in GREAT need to time alone to reconnect and celebrate our many blessings.
Where - Ko'Lina Marriott Oahu - timeshare exchange. One Bedroom, full kitchen, one bathroom
When - November 1 - November 7
This is our 4th trip to Hawaii in our 13 year marriage. We honeymoon on Maui for 2 blissful weeks, did not get back for almost 7 years when we took our 4 children to the North Shore of Oahu - then onto Kauai in 2005 for a business function. We LOVE Hawaii - it is one place that I truly never get enough of and could always stay longer.
Day One:
Sunday, November 1 - Fall back - we get an extra hour of sleep!
We had an 8:55 am departure from LAX. We live about an hour plus from LAX with no traffic. I simply abhor flying out of LAX but will for a direct flight and with our miles it was LAX direct to HNL. I used Delta miles and booked our trip in July. We had enough miles to fly first class and I decided to go for it. I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma shortly after booking the trip and had a lot of second thoughts about vacationing in Oahu but I simply could not change it around without incurring too high of a cost. We were using miles to fly and our timeshare for the week... people here reassured me that I make it work so onward we went.
The ride to LAX was uneventful. We used off site parking - I will get the name from dh - he had used it the week before for a trip he went on and really liked the service. Okay dokie. This is the part of travel I admit I hate - the shelping about - parking, luggage, blah blah. Onto the shuttle, off at the curb, checked in no issues and found ourselves at the Delta Crowne room. The crown room at LAX is fine - not great but not bad either...
I like to get to the gate early and that always causes a slight conflict with dh - he likes to wait - I am a VERY anxious flyer who only flies because the desire to travel is greater then the fear. There is a baby who is REALLY crying a lot - I joke with dh that the baby will be in the seat in front of us. He assures me that no one would fly first class with a baby. On board we go...
Oh yes they would... SCREAMING baby to the point that I think there might be something wrong with the child. Everyone is looking at each other like "you have got to be kidding me?"
The baby eventually falls asleep and we watch several movies and I even have a glass of wine... ahhh the vacation has begun.
We get to Oahu no issues and our bags come out quickly.
Note to travelers. When I booked our Thrifty rent a Car (225.00 for the week) it indicated that it was 'in the airport" I was a little surprised at that and sure enough it is not in the airport - you proceed to the shuttle area and we waited...and waited and after about 25 minutes the shuttle arrived. It is PACKED - I mean PACKED. I make a point to sit in the front and dh tells me to get off and he will tend to the bags because this is going to be one long line.... I feel bad for being in a rush but as I said this is the part of travel that like most I do not have the highest tolerance for. I keep trying to remember my "yoga" breathing... ;-)
I hop off and we still end up waiting a good 45 minutes to get the car - I open the door and ROACHES. Ugh. This happened to me when we rented a car in Oahu last time - it turned into the family joke. If there are two bugs there are more... oh well - I decide that waiting another 40 minutes is not worth it (that is how long they said it would be) and ask if I see them again if they will drive a car out - they said no problem... that would not be the last of our rental car issues... more to come...
On the road! We are headed out to Ko'lina and get there pretty fast. I confess I was slightly nervous as we were driving out to Ko'lina as it is not the same lush drive I experienced going to the North Shore ...pretty bland and dry.
But alas, we get off the exit and it is lovely - the resort is the last one currently in a short row of tall buildings on lagoons. There is major construction that is going on next to the JW Marriott @ Ko'lina - so if you go be sure to request a room on the south side of the building away from the construction. Disney is putting up a timeshare.
There was no construction to be seen from the timeshare property and it lovely upon walking into the open air lobby. The front desk was great - over all I would rate the service at the marriott as EXCELLENT. The took our keys, said they would get our bags and park the car... and meet us up at the room. Nice. We stopped at the Welcome center to pick up our discount card which is good for several discounts through out the resort. It is where they want to sign you up to buy a week at their timeshare. We decide to sit through the 90 minutes to get the free gift... and book it for the next day.
Finally in the room! The front desk said we had a partial ocean view - not sure how it could have been much better of a view. Perhaps when building is finished it will be partial but for now it was 100% perfect! The room is very nice, full kitchen, separate bedroom, bathroom, deep soaking tub - I am very happy!
It is now around 3:30 or so and we head down to have a late lunch/early dinner and check the place out. We grab a bit to eat at the resorts Kolohe's Beach Bar & Grill - I had amazing fish tacos and dh had a not so good salad. We stroll around, I am feeling pretty tired... we head up to the room not long after it and I confess I was sound asleep by 7:00 pm or so...
Monday, Day 2:
Rain...Rain...how I love you... tbc....

Roaches - we have those here in the south - but at least I know what to do about them to keep them out of the house....but the car??
I've visited each of the four main islands - a week on each & had rental cars on each one - but never saw ONE roach in the rooms or the cars. Heck, I don't remember even seeing one outside at all. Yuck. I'll be interested to hear what you do about them.
...and then, get to the good stuff!

OSB - I asked the guy at the rental place if it was an ongoing issue and he sort of stammered and said that it is very humid and a problem. Okay.
I just kept banging the door really hard! Ha!
Monday...
Full moon - I woke up around 4:30 am - no surprise since I went to bed at 7:00 am. Dh followed suit shortly afterwards. We had our coffee and sat out on the balcony and it was amazing. The moon was full over the ocean. Stunning.
Had breakfast at the Kolohe's Beach Bar & Grill - it was pricey but outside and nice. Afterwards we walked along the lagoons - past the JW Marriott on the beach - it is a stunning walk.
Grabbed our cabana for the day and planted ourselves underneath it. The rate is 30.00 for a full day and due to my recent skin cancer I am very careful about avoiding any sunburn. It was very over cast anyway and sort of raining on and off. I loved it - we relaxed, read, and swam in the lagoon. Had lunch later again at the resort - and had our 1:00 pm timeshare presentation. No intention of buying another week - and but trust me - they got dh pretty close. He LOVES Kauai and I am pretty sure if they would have had a week in the two bedroom that he may have done it. Thankfully they did not and he came to his senses and we departed for him to watch the world series. Now I realize this sounds like a very boring day but I assure it was just what the dr. ordered - we relaxed, had wine, good food and enjoyed each other.
Dh stayed down at the outdoor bar to watch the game and I headed up to clean up. After the game we took the shuttle to Roys for dinner. It is a short shuttle ride. Roys was VERY good. I had the butter fish which might be one of the best pieces of fish I have ever had. Dh enjoyed a sushi roll plate and we shared the warm chocolate souffle... wonderful.
Dinner was about 60.00 prior to tip. They do a great thing imo in that they let you order a smaller portion of the entrees and that was less expensive as well as just the right size for me.
It was a GREAT day.
Day three... Fodor GTG including dh, broken down car rental and dancin' with the hula girls... oh my.

what a great trip!..... SO and I stayed there about 3-4 years ago. I thought their pillows were THE best ever! I even called them after my return to see about buying them but they were too expensive. I can't remember how much they were but they must have been about $200 per pillow for me to back away from it. It was from a British company.
we had a magical moment on the balcony one morning before dawn when ALL the birds erupted in song!
can't remember the name of the place but we also had the best pina colada I've ever had on the north shore of oahu.
looking forward to the rest....

Day three - Tuesday
The Marriott timeshare has a weekly group exercise schedule - I was a little annoyed that it was extra money but they had yoga on the beach and I was excited at that idea. We both signed up at the 27.00 a person (ouch imo) and headed down for the 8 am class. I would say this was extremely annoying and I was a grump afterwards. It was not yoga - it was an attempt to sell DVDs and there was a total of about 25 minutes of "exercise" that an unfit person would have not had any issue doing. On the other hand - dh actually enjoyed it. Go figure. :-?
We opted to grab a light breakfast from the marketplace at the Marriott instead of doing the full sit-down breakfast again. There is a decent selection - I had an instant oatmeal and dh got a yogurt with fruit. I think the total for the two items was around 9.00.
We had a gtg planned for 12 noon that day - we were meeting Lcuy, Mari & Melissa @ Wally Ho's Garage & Grill in Aiea. I was not sure what to expect with dh. He was supposed to play golf but decided he did not want to spend the $$ since he has not been playing lately. I was happy he was going to join us - he was such a good sport. We pulled up at the same time as everyone else and Lcuy greeted me with a lovely lei - and a warmer smile. Mari & Melissa were so kind and honestly the three of them were among the most interesting and well traveled women that we have encountered. Dh was very impressed and enjoyed our time together. One should know that dh is pretty conservative in his politics and truth be known I was a little nervous - it came up a little at the end and I joked that dh was really - we all got a good laugh. We were there for a few hours.
We said our good byes and everyone headed out - dh and I climbed into the rental car - and ut-oh - the transmission is not working - it is locked. Great. It is now raining and I am getting cranky... dh called and Thrifty said it would be about 2 hours??? H-E-L-L-O - we are about 10 minutes from where the Thrifty place is!?! I called back and after back and forth and about an hour they showed up.
Off we went...
We arrived back at the Marriott just in time to get in line for the Fia Fia Luau which is located right on the lawn at the Marriott time share. It is 75.00 a person I think; we opted for this as our 'gift" for the timeshare presentation. We had two lovely couples at our table - one from Alabama and one from Australia. Dh is so friendly and really great at making conversation with folks and the night was really a fun way to end the day. Dh danced with the hula girls and I got some funny shots of it. The "chief" then called up everyone celebrating an anniversary so dh and danced on stage and everyone got lovely flowers.
One of the many things that has happened over the last months since the cancer diagnosis is I am wanting to feel everything and cherish all of my time. It is rather intense to be honest, and dancing under the stars, with a little rain drops falling on us, with the ocean in the background almost made me teary. So thankful for my life and everything we have. It was a great day...even with the rental car issue. No biggie in the long run of course (and they gave us 50.00 off!).
It was another wonderful day...
Tomorrow... Bouts & Kemos for the best pancakes ever... and Kailua kayaking, Hanauma Bay snorkeling, and Alan Wongs! What a day!

Ncounty -the birds!! I forgot about them... they all broke out in song at sunrise and again at sunset. I love birds so much and dh always teases me - so he was saying "oh listen to them singing for you!"
Your trip sounds wonderful too.

I am enjoying this for a few reasons - we stayed there in 2006 and loved it; you write so well; but mostly because no one -- NO ONE -deserved this trip more than you and your DH!
More, please!

More, please!

{{{{{Deb}}}}}} It was truly a wonderful week - we *needed this more then we ever have.
{{{Irego}}}} Right back at you! I want your trip report soon.
I am not sure about the pancakes on Maui. Melissa told me about this place and I was not sure what to expect but I think that pancake might be one of the best things I have ever eaten in my LIFE - not kidding.
Oh and It has come to my attention (cough cough Deb) that it is Ko' Olina... two O's.. I am such a goof.

Day four, Wednesday...it is going too fast!
Up bright and early again - we have a big day planned. We headed out to Kailua to go kayaking. The posted SF had recommended Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks and we had to be there by 9:15 am to check in. I *really wanted good pancakes and when I had asked Melissa the best place to get pancakes on the island she mentioned Boots & Kimo's Homestyle Kitchen in Kailua so it was perfect.
I have to rave about Boots & Kimo's - it was full of locals - the owners daughter waited on us and was a riot - and honestly it was the BEST pancakes I have EVER eaten in my life. It had some kind of special sauce on it... c-r-a-z-y good. You must go there if you are in the area - you will not be sorry you did!
Okay... I am going to call it a night and will finish up Wed tomorrow - it was a FULL day and I want to be sure to remember it all.
Aloha

Wonderful trip report, MomDD! Thank you for sharing. I keep hearing that the Lagoons at the resort there are PERFECT for people who don't swim/are not strong swimmers so it sounds very appealing to me. Was the swimming pool nice as well? I'm so happy for you and your DH that you enjoyed your trip so much. I've thought of you, and have been sending good wishes your way!
