Reservation Resolved For Honolulu!

I am happy to say we finally secured a reservation for granddaughter Sierra’s 21st Birthday Celebration through VRBO! Most of the family is invited and it is up to them to secure their travel there, then the fun will begin! I am so relieved to have a place to stay reserved.  I was getting concerned after not hearing back with a confirmation. I called the number shown at VRBO and the person I talked to said they have been so busy they have not had time to respond. She assured me the next day they would respond and in fact they did!  We will be staying at the Royal Kuhio Penthouse #3507!  It’s just a 5 minute walk to the beach, lots of clubs and restaurants (they will all love that!), and convenient to public transportation (which is pretty nice on Oahu).  There is room for 12 to sleep with absolutely no privacy!  LOL!  As Sierra said, “Grandma, it’s Hawaii, who needs privacy?”  Such a sweetheart and we are looking forward to making some great family memories, even if it is a year from now.  Planning is part of the fun!

Frustration…

We have talked about taking our Granddaughter to Hawaii for her 21st Birthday.  It sounds like lots of fun and we invited the rest of the family if they can come. Now, a YEAR ahead I am told out timeshare is fully booked and I should have made the reservation before now. I definitely need to check on the EXACT date to book ahead, a date I am not aware of off hand. I’ve never been concerned since we have always been able to secure a time we wanted easily.  Feeling annoyed and frustrated. I guess we will change the Maui location to something on Oahu as things seem more readily available there.  Darn…
