Reaching Honolulu
Maui is a great place for vacation but it is too small for me as coming from Chicago I like to explore cuisines and hustle and bustle of a big city.
When we landed in Honolulu the taxi ride reminded me of Bangkok. Traffic, Tall buildings and it was different than Maui which is very quite and natural place.
Got the Hilton in Waikiki and went to Surf and turf tacos for our first dinner. The city felt great as there are so many options to eat and many things to explore. Went to Waikiki to explore and wow… Just energy of this place is amazing. Got his sunset :
Got a Airbnb/vrbo for 2 weeks. The high floors in Waikiki Sunset gave us such great view of the ocean and the cloud colors during the sunset were just too good. It made the desire to stay more concrete as Chicago was going below -20.
Next few days only apartment hunting and no touristy activities. You can get a decent furnished apartment in Waikiki for around 2k per month.
Bought a keyboard and monitor from Craigslist and i was all set to work from Waikiki :)
Living in Honolulu
As I watched the Waikiki sunset from my Airbnb I was still have thoughts about if I should just take a rental place here in Waikiki and settle here. It was January and a severe cold weather in Chicago was making that resolve to stay in Hawaii…
