Good afternoon all. It's our third time at KoOlina.. Checked in on Saturday. I love this place more every time we come. We are in a 2OV non lock off unit I booked on DC points 12ish months out. Requested only high floor on prearrival form, knowing we were already committed to Hale Na'ia because of the non-lock off. Ended up with 15th floor unit 31511 (one under the PH) and its just a spectacular location. Had a "package" waiting at check in with a MKO bag, a couple beach towels and two bottles of water with a welcome/thanks note from the manager for being Chairmans Club members. Guess that has floated down to the properties already! Grounds are immaculate and staff friendly as ever. We turned down a preview for this week. Hawaii time is way too valuable!!
We had some residual DVC points for this year so I booked the lowest possible dumpster view hotel room for tues and thurs at Aulani so we will get 4 days of property usage over there too. Looking forward to that with our three year old!!
Yesterday we rode the guided scenic railway train from Eva to Ko Olina and back. Did a drive up to and hiked through the gorgeous Wailua Valley this morning then sampled our way through the food trucks along the Kam highway on the way back. Awesome day so far! Saturday we are moving to MOC for our first stay there... 2Bed OF in Lahaina Tower on DC points plus an II trade studio OV for some family flying out to join us.
I would love to somehow misplace our return flight tickets but everything's electronic. Darn!
