Welcome to Honolulu

Wed.
First off, the new LaGuardia Delta terminal is fantastic! Lots of high table seating now with connectivity at every table. There is a bar with an iPad placed at each seat. How convenient! You can order drinks and food from your table, swipe your card and voila! It arrives! Prices are quite expensive though. 
Yankee Stadium
Minor delay at the gate which was more than compensated for by a 1/3 full plane. I'm very comfortable at an exit row with lots if leg room. 
We had a smooth takeoff and ascent with clear skies. Great views of Ditmars blvd (James) and of Yankee stadium and the GWB crossing a frozen Hudson River. Beautiful.


George Washington Bridge

Manhattan looking from the north to the south.
Central Park in the center


Thurs
Went out for breakfast and a brief walk to get our bearings. Condo is very nice, but small. We’ll be tight when you get here. It’s a studio, which I think you know. We face inland and we’re on the 15th floor overlooking busy (and noisy) Ala Moana Blvd. We see shade all day but that makes for a very pleasant balcony. It’s a bit of a weird setup with our apartment being at the apex of an angled building so we have a very good view of our next door neighbors (who, in turn, have a very good view of us). They’re clearly living here year round as their balcony is stuffed with stuff (bike, coolers, wagon clothes drier (air) etc).
We arrived around 11pm last evening. Not a great journey as we went NY to Minneapolis to LA to HNL. Never take 3 planes when flying 10 hours. Needless to say, except for the first leg, the comfort level was mild torture.
The beach is behind our condo so all out for sunrise and sunset.  It's the thing to do here.

 




Fri
'Nuther beautiful day in paradise.  Fireworks on the beach every Friday night.  Nice.

Sat.
Lot's of rain so we took in a movie today.  Beautiful evening and Beach Boys concert on the beach to end the evening.
