So I got lei'd in Hawaii, and checked out some of the other must-do things :woot:

As most of you know, I was lucky enough to win a free week at the Hyatt Regency [hyatt.com] in Waikiki (in a deluxe oceanfront room

)

Leaving in 3 weeks, so I figure it's probably a good time to start planning some stuff out and at least outlining the stuff that shouldn't be missed, and also ask for suggestions on decent restaurants and any other tips anyone can think of.

I went ahead and bought the Entertainment Book with all of the coupons, but of course I haven't personally visited any of the places in it, so if it's possible to narrow down any great ones, that'd be wonderful.

Oh, and also highly considering the Go Oahu [smartdestinations.com] card (probably the 3 day one, which includes a bonus admission to Germaine's Luau or the Polynesian Cultural Center. Anyone been to these two places, and could say which is best?)

I think I'd definitely like to squeeze in the USS Arizona/Pearl Harbor tour (which is included with the Go Oahu card), and of course either one of the luaus or the PCC. Nowww you guys fill me in on the rest

Froggy, you told me to remind you to sit down and give me detailed info and tips, so here you go

I'm excited about getting lei'd
