Walter, by any chance was your "Waikiki balcony" hotel, the Aston Waikiki? That is where I usually stay since we get oceanfront rooms for me and my overseas guests. I am going back in May and again in November and will bring my Yacht Boy this time....I would like to recreate the overwater experience I had before. Normally, when I go to Hawaii I am there for work and don't take a radio, but will next time. Mahalo! G
