Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai

Speaking of historical Hawaii, one of the places I insisted we go while on Oahu was the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. This illustrious hotel, now part of the Marriott chain, has stood on Waikiki Beach since 1927. It’s one of those hotels you can only dream about ever staying at. Happily, though, the dining options were within our budget and we enjoyed mai tais and poke at the outdoor Mai Tai Bar overlooking the beach.

Full disclosure: I don’t even like rum, but I lost count of how many mai tais I enjoyed during our week in Hawaii.

(What can I say? When in Rome … )
