I can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news.
I believe we have here an example of situational irony.
Irony is found in the contrast between expected outcomes and what actually happens. The narrator wanted to spend the time on the beach, not in the hotel room watching local TV. However, the reality was such that now the narrator "can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news".
That's why I think this particular sentence matches the style of the passage.
Can you believe that all of these crazy things happened?
Explanation:
The sentence above matches the informal and descriptive style of the writer's. His style is reflected by the fact he wants to describe his surprise: he was expected to have a great time in Hawaii during a short vacation ; but to his surprise, unexpected or crazy things happened , which made him spend the worst week of his life. His tone is casual; he invites the reader to learn why he got so diappointed by his trip.
