To Do

I was strongly encouraged to just relax at the beach. Other possibilities:

• USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor
• Visit http://bishopmuseum.org & shop at http://alohashirts.com
• 'Iolani Palace

Lodging

Several people who we work regularly with use the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the Waikiki Park, or the Ilikai Hotel. They are all in the heart of Waikiki. If you want to be at the quieter edge of Waikiki near Diamond Head you might check out the New Otani hotel.
