As we baked ourselves the following day some serious shopping time was performed. Great shoes, handbags, dresses, tops, make up, jackets, perfume, sunglasses, etc were purchased. To restore our energy from shopping protein was on the menu for dinner that night.
The RIMPAC Pacific Rim (International Military Games) are on at the moment in Honolulu and it’s where countries from around the world compete against one another in simulated war game activities out in the sea. We know this because we met many of them. The island is full of military of all sorts and they sure know how to drink and party. We went to a place called Rum Fire which is right on the beach to watch the sunset and started drinking at 4 to make the most of happy hour. 13 Mai Tai’s were had in 2 hours and many other drinks followed by free drinks from our Marine friends. One marine was Korean and was nic named immediately by Rachael as ‘China’ which he couldn’t understand why but regardless he continued to pay for drinks for his Australian friends and we could not refuse such an offer. We also met 2 guys who are like Maverick and Goose in Top Gun and saw some great photos of their planes on their iphones. These guys were names ‘Snott’ and ‘Blue’, we did get the story behind their call sign names but that’s another story. In the morning one of us had wished they had said no to all those drinks and spent the day in bed.
