yo whats up guys, me and my girl are going to Honolulu for a little vacation. i was wondering if anyone could tell me of any sort of attractions to see, places to go, and restaurants to eat. what are the best stuff for tourists? we're going in mid april, is the weather going to be good? any help is appreciated thanks!

 

weather should be good.

what kind of things do you want to see/do?
money restrictions?
where are you staying?

 

something fun for the younger people, we are in our early 20's. money shouldnt be a restriction but nothing too over the top. we are staying at one of those hilton towers, not sure which one. i actually wanna eat the best hawaiian style food like saimin and such.

 

the weather should be nice... well today its really nice but really windy. do you have a rental vehicle? most of the good cruzin spots and eating spots will be easier with a car.

 

yup i got a car. any spots to recommend?

 

driving: pali lookout, tantulus, h-3, north shore, etc.
hiking: dianmond head, aiea loop trail, etc.
i love my chinese wife and food: royal kitchen, on-on restaurant, etc.

 

dude despite the windy weather, today was frickin' awesome!

nice and cool, and clear....just windy haha.

drive to the east side to alan davis by makapu'u ..

here a quick find online:

you can just park the car and walk the short trails to visit the tide pools, check out pele's chair, etc.

it's not yer average waikiki spot

 

oo yeah to get some good saimin i would say the place i like to eat the most saimin is Palace saimin in kalihi across the post office. also a good saimin place is also in kalihi and its called Boulevard saimin. very ono food but pretty much anywhere has good food, it truly depends on what you wanna eat, but saimin are always winners!

 

don't forget stordos in halewia and the shrimp trucks

 

The shrimp trucks are the bomb!!! Giavani's (sp?) hot and spicey... (bring beer)... just drive around and suck in everything the island has to offer... cheap fun meal on Waikiki Beach can be had at On the Run... Sushi, tempura, and cold, cold Kirin beer... grab one of the four side walk tables and sit back and enjoy... it's right on the beach at the Mariott. If you got some money to burn hook up with the folks out at Paradise Helicopter... not all that crazy about Turtle Bay (too commercial)but the Paradise folks fly out of there... great ride in a Huges 500 D w/no doors... the only way to fly! Going myself in April... spending a day or two in Oahu and then heading out to Maui and the Big Island... trying to score a day or two out at Jack Thompson's place... can hardly wait... damn... your part of the world is the absolute most beautiful place on the planet...
