Today I had my first Hot Yoga class. I’m not sure what I expected but it wasn’t actually as hot I thought it would be. I had visions of coals in the corner, sizzling and steaming when someone threw water on them. The instructor shows me how to lay out my mat. Well, not so much how but where (because I can lay my mat out all by myself, I’ll have you know!).

Dream trip or not, there are still compromises to be made and one of ours was that the hotel in Oahu would be very close to, but not on, the beach. That was going to be a treat we’d enjoy later in the trip. The brief part of downtown Honolulu viewed from our shuttle is a far cry from what I imagined as we see the ‘not-quite-so-nice’ section which, unfortunately, every city has. We pass the harbour with its gargantuan cruise ship as we continue along Ala Moana Blvd and soon the landscape changes as palm trees, flowers and finally a quick glimpse of the beach comes into view.
