I travelled extensively in the South Pacific as a younger man and found that I prefer Islands full of Polynesians to ones overrun by Caucasians. That’s why Hawaii seems a better stop-over than a destination to me. But to each their own.
We stopped for a couple of days at the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki on our way from Auckland to Seattle. It’s a lovely old hotel with superb service and a nice bit of beach. To top it off, we were upgraded to an ocean view suite.
