DEF “HAWAIIAN SUCKER PUNCH 2012” TOUR, PART 3: OH, AND THERE’S A BEACH AND STUFF
Indeed, there is a beach here. It looks like this.
That’s not the view from my hotel room. That looks like this.
Which isn’t as scenic, I admit. On the other hand, I imagine zooming in on the top floor and seeing Jack Lord standing there smirking.
So that’s cool. And it almost makes up for the fact that they film the remake of Hawaii Five-O right here in the hotel. Not every episode. But a few – Hilton Hawaiian Village is a “production partner” with the show, apparently. Which explains the Hawaii Five-0 t-shirt booth by the pool bar.
FUN FACT: Somewhere in that surf, about 15 yards from the shoreline, is my very first wedding ring.
No, really. The first time I came here was in January 1998. I’d been married for ten months. Went for a swim in the ocean and the ring slipped right off my finger. The water was just deep enough that I couldn’t just reach down and feel around for it. Called my wife and confessed. She thought it was hilarious.
As far as I know, it’s still there – assuming it wasn’t found by snorkelers or eaten by sea turtles or something.
Okay. We’re done here. Back to Hong Kong I go.
Wrapped around yr finger,
This is dF
