Go to shopping

Hotel's restaurant is too expensive. A breakfast is remarkable. We have to pay twenty dollars per person. I have to pay sixty dollars for breakfast in my case. I cannot pay sixty dollars for breakfast. The ABC store is a convenience store. It provides rice balls, salads and so on same as Japan. So if I will get some rice balls, salads and a cup of milk, it is a good breakfast for me. The ABC store is a true convenience store, I think. My son promised that he might play in Hilton Hawaiian Village pool with his cousins today. Yesterday, as once I parked there for valets parking, I could park my car there normally. No one parks a car on the road in Waikiki. Therefor, there is no traffic jam. And an appearance is good on the road. But a car driver has to find a parking lot. All parking lots are almost toll parking lots. It is same as Tokyo, Japan, where I live now. But I think that Waikiki is better than Tokyo as an appearance is good. I went to Alamoana Shopping Center after playing with my son and his cousins until noon, because I had to buy vitamins, which my father asked me to buy. There was a large drugstore named Longs drugs. There were various vitamins and drugs in the store. I could get ninety percents vitamins, which my father asked me, there. I met my wife and others at the front of Hyatt Hotel again at 3:00pm. And we went to Kahala Moll for shopping. The Kahala Moll was located west side of Waikiki, over the Diamond Head. It was smaller than Alamoana Shopping Center. But the moll was in the large building and had a air condition service in side the building. My wife said that Kahala was more comfortable than Alamoana for shopping, because Alamoana had no air condition service on the sidewalk. Here is one of the favorite place for my wife. She always went to here for shopping. We had a supper at California Pizza Kitchen inside the moll. I always went here, when I visited Honolulu. The pizza is an American pizza. It is thicker than Italian pizza. But It is tasty, large and low price. My son loves an Italian pizza. But he like only a pizza of California Pizza Kitchen. My favorite is a BLT. It is a pizza that it is bacons and Tomatoes and fresh lettuces on it. If I say a weak point of the restaurant, there are many guests. Here is very crowed at dinner time in the evening. One has to wait so many time. When I checked in at the front counter, I got a black box. If my order came, the box would vibrate. If you want to go here, you are prepared for waiting more than thirty minutes.
