One week vacation in Hawaii (Oahu).
Places that I have drinks & meals (webpage link): restaurants (August 2023)
Ritz Carlton Residences (Waikiki, Hawaii)
Remarks (September 2023):
Nice view from my suite towards the park & ocean.
Four Seasons Resort (Oahu, Hawaii)
Remarks (September 2023):
The hotel garden is nice with my favorite koi.
However, not keen on the heavy traffic jam (both directions) between the
hotel and Waikiki/Honolulu during the day.
Byodo-In Temple (Oahu, Hawaii, USA)
Remarks (September 2023):
This temple was dedicated in August 1968 to commemorate the
100th anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.
It is a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist temple at Uji (Kyoto, Japan).
The temple does give very calm & peaceful feel. The ponds have my
favorite koi.
