Getting to Honolulu from Sydney Australia has never been easier (and cheaper). We we’re lucky to find cheap flights on Jetstar (a sister company of Qantas) for $150 each way! It was some sort of promotion JetStar was running. By the time tax’s we’re added, in flight food, entertainment and comfort packs, it ended up being around $700 return each. (I travelled with my partner Alicia). As for the flight itself, it was very non eventful. In-fact I can’t remember experiencing any turbulence. It was a very pleasant flight, taking around 10 hours. Service on Jetstar was very reasonable considering it is a low cost carrier. The Flight attendants we’re very friendly and helpful. As with most economy class flights, leg room was tight. My last 3 international flights I have flown business class. And to be honest, there is not a huge difference for the amount of money you pay. Sure in Business Class they give you priority check in, and boarding. Access to the frequent flyer lounge… A champagne and a newspaper the moment you board the plane. But are these little perks worth paying triple the price for? In this case, I did not believe so. I guess if you are flying from Sydney to London, the extra leg room may be worth paying the extra. But overall, I was happy flying with JetStar. The Flights left and arrived on time in both Sydney and Honolulu.

Today we went shopping at the Factory Outlets in Waikele. Waikele is on the West Coast of Oahu. We travelled to Waikele via “Trolley”, which looks very similar to a tram…but obviously not on tracks. It seemed like a long journey to the Factory Outlet shops, I am sure it was at least 1 and a half hours. The trolley is a little slower than travelling by car..so if you wish to cut travel time, I recommend hiring a car. Once we arrived at Waikele, we had a decent range of shops to explore. Alicia and I went our separate ways. I won’t go into exactly what we purchased, but the prices there we’re incredibly cheap in comparison to here in Sydney. Plus the US and Australian dollar we’re almost parity at the time, which made things seems even cheaper. My best purchase was a pair of Versace Sunglasses. They RRP for $400, but the shop was having a 50% off sale. When I went to purchase the sunglasses, the lovely shop assistant noticed the lens had a small scratch, so she discounted them as damaged..for the price of $80 After a day of shopping, we hopped back on the Trolley with bags full of clothes, and a lighter wallet. To end our long day of shopping and Trolley travel, we had dinner at a Restaurant called Paradiso located across from the Sheraton. The Paradiso is like a bar and grill…I recall ordering Steak with Shrimps. Was a pleasant way to end the day
