New Years Eve - again!


Arrived into a balmy 73 degrees F- along with 2 other full planes so much waiting at immigration. Sent straight through Customs to exit so obviously we looked more trustworthy than 80% of the other passengers who were queued up for examination.

Hotel was full so we had to wait for our room - in Mac's Bar 24/7 where Steve had a fab cheeseburger and I had the Roast Potato soup (with bacon, cheese and chives, yum). 


Great massaging shower in a lovely room. Had a sleep in the afternoon as we'd had a late night and another was coming up. But a visit to Jimmy Buffet's bar was necessary so we strolled down for a Longboard  beer and a margarita then back to our hotel for the NYE Party in the lobby bar.

The band Subway was playing and they were just perfect for the crowd - covers of songs which we knew - some Katy Perry, some Beatles even Auld Lang Syne at the end of the evening. A good party with friendly people & staff. 


NY Day and we walked back along the beachfront to - Jimmy Buffet's bar! Had the Volcano Nachos to share and a couple of Longboards then shopped for t- shirts & coffee mugs, strolled back to the Hilton for a Mai Tai. Watched a guy beside us tackle the pancake stack with bananas and chocolate - he got half way through and that was the SMALL stack! Skipped dinner  and had the strawberries the hotel gave us on NYE - looked great but the strawberries were awful! I ate the chocolate off mine and the crystallised pineapple but threw away the strawbs.

  1. I'm coming around to the idea of Hawaii .... keep talking!
    P.S. What's 73F in proper degrees?
