Luggage And Bags: Take sturdy luggage, and tag them with very distinguishable tags or pompoms ... EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE will have the same type of luggage you have if you buy a black set or tapestry style! If you're wondering about the "disposable luggage", it came through the baggage claim from a passenger flying to or back to O'ahu.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Make room in your suitcase for shorts and tank tops, but don't forget to bring along a long sleeve shirt or windbreaker ... you may want this for the slight breeze on a moonlight stroll, or just to keep the sun or bugs off you at various parks/attractions. Bring comfortable walking shoes and beach shoes (sandals or rubber slippers) A visor is a must, or a ball cap if you are prone to sunburns on your scalp! Bring a nice outfit too, if you intend to visit a night club or restaurant that will require slightly more dressy attire.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: My best advice is SUNSCREEN! Don't leave home without it! Also, be sure to bring your allergy meds ... it's almost essential here for the serious sufferers.
Photo Equipment: A good 35mm camera is a must for your trip ... lots of 400 iso and several 800 iso for evening photographs. **That little spot** in your camera bag for extra batteries and film ... FILL IT UP WITH BATTERIES AND FILM. Here on the islands, because tourism is our main industry, you will find yourself paying megabucks for film and batteries if you have to buy them at the local ABC store or in anywhere in Waikiki!
Miscellaneous: Bring a cheap flashlight if you plan on going to the Diamond Head Trail, or Moonlight Walk at Waimea Falls Park.
