    Pick up a copy of the book "Oahu Revealed", otherwise known as the blue bible of the islands. Great photos with recs for beaches, hikes, activities, lodging, and eats. You can get it amazon for $11 or so.

    Don't worry if people tell you "Yuck, Waikiki is just a big city with a beach", the rest of the island is easily accessible,even by bus. Most all the high end beach front hotels have outdoor bars and entertainment in the evenings as you watch the sun set. Lots of restaurant choices in Waikiki, or you can venture out for "locals" dining. At night on the main drag (Kalakaua Ave.) street artists of all types are out. Free evening hula show near the statue of Duke Kahanamoku at the Kuhio beach section of Waikiki.

    OK I better quit now. Anyway enjoy your trip!!

    Waikiki is good for dining and nightlife, but if you want to see real Hawaii be sure head to The North Shore or The Windward Side. My favorite places on the island.

    I will say - bring an extra empty suitcase You'll buy soooo much shit at the market whoms name Im forgetting right now. ALWAYS HAGGLE HERE. Do NOT pay what they ask. You can get it for 1/2 what they want. And Im blanking on the word but if you figure out the word for 'local' you can get even bigger discounts. (Just dont look like a tourist! LOL)

    You'll want to go to North Shore for a day.

    If you want a nice, quiet beach go to Makaha (this is where I lived in Oahu). Its beautiful and theres a great bar on the beach there thats lovely.

    The Dole Plantation is awesome if you like pineapple!

    Pearl Harbor I went to - its kinda cool but sad when you really think about it.

    Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay - this is almost a must do. I freaked out because Im not a fan of fish but I loved it when I went as a teen.

    Youll probably want to go to a luau at the Polynesian Center.

    They have little short cruises there on Waikiki beach - theyre cool and cheap. I think it was $20 and included booze. They set off every 2 hours. Find the guys in the bright red and white shorts. The other ones arent as good.

    For clubs go to Rock-Za, its in downtown Waikiki and rocks. I worked there.

    Oh oh and I almost forgot - theres a small sea life center by the zoo and its really neat. They have all kinda of really small sea life in there. Its neat-o and cheap. Like $8. They have larger fish too but the tiny sea things were interesting to see.

    Gotta go to Eternity beach... it's the tiny bit of beach right next to the Blow Hole. I third the North Shore, Waimea Beach is awesome. Shopping at Ala Moana is great. For a bit of history that isn't commercialized, check out Iolani Palace.. it's the US's only palace, it's incredibly beautiful (if you're into victorian era stuff) as well as interesting.

    If you find yourself in China Town, check out Yummy's Ice Palace. Best damn shaved ice EVER!!! You gotta get it with ice cream and mochi balls!

    There's a Chinese resturant in the Ala Moana Hotel that has fantastic dim sum during thier lunch service.

    Check out Indigo in downtown/China Town if you'd like a nice dinner... they have really great asian fusion cuisine and the setting is just awesome... they kep thier lounge open for late night cocktails and local DJ's, too.

    Speaking of lounges, I always have fun at the Mai Tai Lounge in Ala Moana shopping center... Really yummy pupu's, local brewed beers on tap, fun fou-Fou drinks, and live entertainment in the evenings.

    If you like sushi, gotta check out Akasaka... it's behind Femme Nu. Tiny and unassuming, it is the best sushi I've ever had.

    For Thai, go to Chaing Mai Thai in Kaimuki. Order the whole fish of the day, and some sticky rice, you won't be dissapointed.

    Find a Dave's ice cream... try the lychee sorbet, FABULOUS!

    Local foods you must try: Kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, ahi poke, and (if you have a hangover) loco moco.

    God I want to go to Hawaii bad...I feel like it's more a romantic destination though, and not quite the place to hang out with the guys.

    If I were going, I'd want to see an active volcano, bu then I'm a nerd that way. C'mon...lava, actual LAVA! After that I'd think the famous waves & beaches and the Pearl Harbor memorial are must-sees.

    Have fun!
