ABC
There's nothing crappier than crappy internet in your hotel room. But the good thing is there's an ABC store across the street from my hotel, the Princess Kaiulani. A decent place for sure, and it's near the mallish Waikiki street. I haven't been here in ages, so it's nice to have the comfortable ameneties that you might fight in Tokyo or Sawtelle. First thing I bought after a delayed flight and long and crappy bus ride (take a cab fyi)was 2 rice balls, dried fish, and jasmine tea. So good.
This hotel also doesn't have a gym. It's a huge place, big pool, tons of food, but no gym.

Hey, my name is Patrick and I'm a subscriber of Giant Robot. I'm also a student at the University of Washington, but I was born and raised in Hawaii. I've been reading your blog and only decided now to comment (:[) after reading about your stay in Hawaii for the HIFF. I hope you enjoy your stay there (I miss the sun) and keep up the good work at GR! Through GR I found out about artist Rachell Sumpter and now she's one of my favorites. I hope opening a GR store in Seattle is in the magazine's plans! haha
it SEEMS like a fair trade - onigiri, dried fish, jasmine tea, cadence of pidgin hawaiian accents all around you, CLEANER, WARMER OCEAN, in exchange for T1.:) as much as i hate chains and monopolies in general, i like abc. it is those damned perfect onigiris.
was your aa flight as bad as anticipated?
good luck, sir.

There's a 24 Hour Fitness in the Pacific Beach Hotel if you have a 24 membership. It's a couple blocks toward Diamond Head on Kalakaua from the Princess Kaiualani. Check out their aquarium while you're there. If you're a runner or a walker, Kapiolani Park is the workout nexus for most townie folks. Enjoy the great outdoors while you're here.
