Friends from the other side of the island invited us to Ko Olina on Saturday for a few hours at the beach. I'm not a big fan of being at the beach in the middle of the day, nor do I like Ko Olina at that time because parking is bad (small public lots fill up early). But they don't come to the Leeward side often, so I gave it a go.
We ended up parking in a hotel garage where we have parked before. Validated our parking ticket after dinner and we had no problems. Not so lucky this time. I wanted to grab lunch (and get the all-important validation), but it for various reasons it didn't happen. I really was hoping Cub would drop off into a nap and I could sneak off, but Cub does not go down with so many distractions. So...our parking bill for four hours? 80 bucks. Ouch! The hotel is sneaky - they don't post rates anywhere. Poor little Cub got burned twice. We didn't get enough sunscreen on his face and his nose is still red. Otherwise we had a really fun day. Here's a shot of Dad and Cub before it all went south.

$80 ?!?!?! R U serious? WTF?
Yeah, I know. $20 bucks an hour without restaurant validation (which we found out is only good for two hours anyway). The more I thought about it, the more peeved I was. I've parked in expensive lots before, but we were clearly told the rates before we drove in. We had NO warning here.
