Our Vacation at Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa

 On July 23 in 1998 I managed to book a flight to Hawaii on our Delta Airlines miles.
That was 60,000 miles for both of us!
Those were the days...
Flying to Hawaii is even 400 miles farther than flying to Amsterdam and it is 5 hours time difference with the East Coast.
So after a long stretch of 8.5 hours we landed. 
With a shuttle we went to our Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa ←click link.
Here you see the Hyatt Regency Twin Towers...
A beautiful complex with 40 levels and over 1,200 rooms.
We both stayed in room 3461, so not quite at the top!
The Hyatt Regency Waikiki's twin towers put visitors close to the action in Waikiki.
Luxurious suites, breathtaking views, the sand, sun, and sea... all a part of Hyatt's Hawaii.
Delta Air Lines got us here FREE for 60,000 miles for both of us!
Happy, for having organized it this way...
View from our balcony...
We were in heaven!
Happy me on the balcony and wearing my Majorica pearls and I managed to purchase the 15" black pearl necklace with ring and earrings at Neiman Marcus. 
These are 14 mm and also 15" as 16" is too wide for me...
Ocean view...
This is a post card with the view of Waikiki from the Sheraton Hotel Waikiki...
A DREAM! 

Stay tuned for more...
