My family is traveling to Hawaii on June 10th, I'd like to know if you guys have any suggestions for what to do. Anything that must be seen? Any great places to go?
We are going to be on the main island most of the time, I think, but will take trips to the other islands.

Re: Traveling to Hawaii
The main island? Boo. It's nice.. if you're a good surfer.. but not too much happening there unless you go for volcano tours.Mitth`raw`nuruodo wrote:My family is traveling to Hawaii on June 10th, I'd like to know if you guys have any suggestions for what to do.

Try to spend as much time in Oahu as possible. Lots to do, lots of pretty girls.. dream vacation.

Enjoy the sunsets, and try to be awake for at least one sunrise. You'll notice something interesting: when you're close to the equator, the sun doesn't take its time rising or setting. One morning when I watched the sun rise in the Galapagos, a grand total of seventeen seconds elapsed from the time the first direct rays from the sun rose over the ocean to some space being seen between the sun and the horizon.
Go on some nature hikes, too. Hawaii has some cool wildlife.

Which island? I've been on 4 of them...
If you're going to Oahu (Most likely), be sure to check out Hanauma Bay (Er, I think I spelled it correctly). Tons of fish, nice water and atmosphere. Diamond Head is a little hike that gives you a fairly nice view. Waikiki is overrated, if you want to surf, check out the North Shore.
On Big Island, definitely check out Mauna Loa.
Kawai is probably the best island for nature hikes - I had one in 7th grade there, it was terrific.
As for Maui, I can't remember anything that was memorable.

Hawaii is EXPENSIVE. Bring lots of $. That being said; some general notes.......1. Don't look out of the airplanes windows as you land. Every landing strip is only a couple of feet away from the ocean. This leads you to believe that you are CRASHING while you are actually just landing.
2. Every beach is FULL of eye candy. Get use to it quick or you girlfriend/wife/mom will be constantly slapping you.
3. Don't look shocked when you spend 80 bucks on dinner. Its expensive there, get used to it.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

See the Arizona memorial.

I recommend the H-3 highway.
Whale watching on Maui is nice too. Also, the Lahaina Whaling Museum.

That's the wrong way to tickle Mary, that's the wrong way to kiss!
Don't you know that, over here lad, they like it best like this!
Hooray, pour les français! Farewell, Angleterre!
We didn't know how to tickle Mary, but we learnt how, over there!

Ah, yes, H-3... 14 miles, and its like one of the most expensive highways built in the US. The view along it is pretty nice thoughBob McDob wrote:I recommend the H-3 highway.
