Hi Sam,

I hope this gets to you before you go - I just read your post and I am afraid you may be almost out the door already.
On your next trip, give us at least a week's notice :-)

You guys are gonna have such a good time - the weather is gorgeous right now, and you definitely seem to have the right attitude. Absolute must dos are --- first or
second night there, watch the sunset from Waikiki Beach -- you will fall in love right there. If you like a lively dinner atmosphere, watch it right from Duke's on the beach. You may also want to look into the dinner cruises off Waikiki --- amazing sunsets!

Try Kayaking off the windward coast - lanikai or Kailua area, the water there is the prettiest blue-green color you've ever seen and there are little teeny islands you can kayak out to.

Do the diamond head hike just cuz it's cheap and easy and you can say you did it and see the big city by the vast pacific ocean.

Yes, do a luau, definitely. Also, do some hiking and maybe check out the Waimea Falls Park. When you see the visitor pamphlets in the airport and at the hotel, look for the one titled "101 things to do on Oahu" -- that is where you will find good hikes and more tips.

Have a wonderful, wonderful time and please do come back to tell us about it.

p.s. - be prepared for the sheer amount of people on Oahu (there are a lot) and if you are put off by the concrete jungle that is
Honolulu, just head up to the northern side of the island and see a little old Hawaii. Next time, you can think about Kauai or the Big Island where the pace is a little slower and there is a lot more open space.

Aloha, Lisa
