Det Z, VMAQ-2 Playboys. They can party. Alot.
Unfortunately, around 1992 the "politically correct police" said the sqaudron couldn't use "Playboys" as a name or use the bunny on any of their patches, airplanes and other squadron related items. The squadron was the only organization that had permission from Playboy, Inc. to use their name and bunny.
Anyway, about 20 members of Det Z, with their wives/girlfriends, got together in Waikiki. We had a blast. The pictures say it all. Click on the link and choose slideshow. You'll see what fun we had. It was fantastic seeing these people and it was as if there wasn't 20 years between parties. Thanks to Zoom, Marianne, Dan and Debbie for making it happen. We won't forget it, that's for sure.
Oh, and Hawaii was nice also. We had an ocean front room, thanks to the group rate. It was beautiful sitting on the balcony on the 18th floor. We didn't rent a car, so we ended up just walking around Waikiki with all the Japanese.
We did get to the other side of the island for a squadron barbeque at Dan and Debbie's beautiful home near President Obama's vacation home.
Another night all of us went to the military hotel, The Hale Koa, for dinner. http://www.halekoa.com/index.cfm The Hale Koa is right on the beach and a short walk from the Sheraton. It's a wonderful benefit for military service members.
We went to Dukes for a great breakfast which was also a short walk down the beach. Dukes has an interesting history and if you don't know who Duke was, check it out here. http://www.dukeswaikiki.com/
Waikiki is great for a first timer to Hawaii with only a few days to stay in Hawaii, but I think we would venture out to some of the other islands if we had more time and $$$$.
