MKK to HNL

I flew from Molokai to Honolulu the day before my flight from HNL to Hilo and stayed in a hotel near the airport. Sitting out the back in the parking lot, this Manx (or maybe it just lost part of its tail) cat strolled by. Near the firepit that was lit in the courtyard in the evening was this black cat. Early next morning, both of them were sitting outside the door to the little convenience store in the courtyard, willing someone inside to come out and feed them! The hotel is right by one of the stations of the soon-to-be-completed light rail link from downtown Honolulu to the airport. It was a great place to stay--free shuttle to and from airport, small swimming pool, clean rooms and helpful staff. A very popular Chinese takeout / sit down restaurant was accessible from the courtyard. It's not part of the hotel and has its main entrance on the street outside but it was very busy serving construction workers, office workers, even a sheriff!Read more
