Thanks Amy, That was a good overview. Although it was covered in the video. I am planning to visit but shopping around. There is reasonable price differences between, junior suite, oceanview junior suite, ocean front junior suite. Is junior suite only 1st floor without the swim up. Ocean view being like 2-4 and then ocean front 5 and up?

Your hack for turning a shoulder strap into a backpack is awesome!! I’m so glad you showed this because I was struggling with my carry on bag when it’s full. It won’t stay on my shoulder and when I wear it cross body it flips all around making it hard to walk. Thank you 👏🏼

@@jamieaton I think I did explain in the video but if not, because I pack with only a carry-on and like to maximize my carry on allowance. This bag is much smaller than the max for a carry-on, so that’s the only reason! Otherwise I like the bag, just not for that purpose. I use mine as a gym bag :)

I was there with a company function in 1989. About a hundred of us, and the hotel put us up in this suite for a few hours until we could get to the airport to fly home. I just remember the views, but not really the room. They told us that some celebrity (don't remember anymore) was booked for a week or something the next day. The Westin at Kaanapali is a beautiful place. Horrible to think what those fires did to the area last year.
