BillyBoy, Thanks for sharing your itinerary with us. it brought back fond memories of my visit to the Islands many many years ago. As to Waikiki Beach, It was with much anticipation that I had then hit the Beach at Waikiki. What a disappointment. I was used to the pristine, white sand beaches near Coney Island, Jones Beach and the Jersey Shore. Instead I found a beach of dark sand filled with pebbles , rocks and stones. What a contras. tThey must have had a terrific PR team. Hoopefully that condition has long been rectified. Be sure you get lei'd.
