Food paradise in Oahu: Day 1 and 2

My first thought was ............. sushi + beach. Isn't that a perfect combo? And that's when I said, Hawaii!!!!!!

What can I say? I had to hit the gym big time before going on this trip, because I knew I was going to be eating like a mad woman! 

Let the eating journey begin.

As soon as we arrived and checked into our hotel, first stop ... ABC store and got us some sake! By the way, our flight landed at 9:30pm (Oahu time), which means .... not much time to eat, plus I was quite exhausted from the 10.5hour flight. What I really wanted to a glass of cold alcoholic beverage, nice shower and a good night sleep so that I could start the day bright and early at the Waikiki beach!

Back at the hotel after a visit to the ABC store

 Marukame Udon: Welcome known for their udon of course, and deep fried snacks. This is a fast food joint, and always a long line up!


Last January in Honolulu, it was about 30C in temperature, I really didn't feel like eating anything hot, so I went for the cold Udon instead and let me tell ya, it was delicious!

 Dinner at Jinroku 






 Hawaiian coffee: Kona Blend. It was expensive and not my cup of tea. I personally prefers stronger, richer blend of coffee. This one was way too light for me. But for those who are not into strong, bold coffee, this is perfect for you!


 Surf n' Turf Taco joint in Waikiki: $10 USD for two massive tacos. It was delicious!!!




Dinner at the famous Nobu in Waikiki. Simply delicious!

Complimentary Dessert from the restaurant.

Flying on AF

Flying with Air France ....

I am a loyal flying blue points collector, and have always enjoyed my flying experiences with Air France. I'll never forget the first time I took an AF flight to Paris, economy class and they served braised duck, which was delicious!! The following year, I went back to Europe and flew with AF again ... and the year after that, and the next, next, next and next ....

Lucky for me, I have been fortunate to have been able to fly on their Premium Economy class over the last few years. How? Found great deals! When it comes to traveling, I'm all about the research, planning and of course, try to get the best possible deal on my flights and accommodations. 

With Flying Blue Miles, aside from free ticket redemption, you can also upgrade to Business and/or First Class, depending on your original purchased ticket, class grade, timing and of course, mileage point amount and status. 

Here are some photos and info on AF Business Class: Toronto to Paris. June 2016

Saying Goodbye to Paris. Until next time ...
