I got diagnosed with a slight Vitamin D deficiency. One of the treatments is sun.
Visit Pearl Harbor, snorkle Hanauma Bay, hike Diamond Head, go to Duke's...to name a few

I'm gonna do Pearl Harbor on a weekday and Waikiki on a weekend. Hopefully I can nail Diamond Head and Dukes on the same day.
I'm staying over in Lanikai away from the hustle and bustle a bit.
How much time should I schedule to do the Pearl Harbor tour?
hehehehehe...........

well that's a shame because it was incredible.
some of the best waves on earth are on the north shore of oahu
Is this where the falls are at? http://www.hawaiiweb.com/html/waimea_va ... _park.html
absolutely.
quite the hike but worth every step.
and i know it's touristy but climb Diamond Head too.
a few years ago, you couldn't jump, but you could swim at the falls in Waimea. not sure if it's still that way...

Ha, that's pretty much what I did, with the obligatory Luau. Most of our Hawaii vacation was in Kauai. God I miss it. Unbelievable island paradise that one.

Stop in at any convenient store or gas station and head on over to the hotdog rack and dive into a fresh slice of Spam on rice with lots of green grass on top too. Doesnt really compare to a good brawt but what the hell.
Head down to Dakine Bail bonds and see if you can hang with Dog too. Maybe see if you can ride with Leeland and take part in citizen justice, bra.
of all of the hawaiian islands, oahu was probably the worst, but it's still better than most places on this earth. definitely head to the north shore. get away from honolulu/waikiki, which is basically a mini vegas with all of the tourists and none of the slot machines and free drinks. diamondhead is a must, even though it's touristy.
i saw it, but couldn't figure out how to get to it, but do the stairway to heaven if you can.

Hawaiian Shave Ice in Haleiwa
Dole Pineapple Plantation (the maze is fun)

Pearl Harbor is definitely a must see. The tours are timed, so the earlier you get there, the quicker you will get your turn to go out.
The other thing i would advise....spend as little time in Waikiki as possible...it is the LEAST hawaiian place on the island. the beach there is crowded and boring. Traffic is terrible. Parking is worse. It is exactly like every other city's downtown tourist area.
For souvenirs, the best deals are at the ABC stores... you can find them anywhere. No, they are not liquor stores, their name is ABC.
Waiting to go is horrible....I know...we leave for Maui in 28 days. But even worse is sitting in the airport waiting to board plane to come home....
have a blast!
