| Page Views: 1,403 Last Visit to Waikiki: August, 2002 | Oahu - Where's Magnum P.I.? by methos_6 - last update: Nov 21, 2002 |
Honolulu is the largest city in Hawaii. The Island is best known for Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor.
Honolulu was a great city, Waikiki was a great beach, and there are a ton of activities to participate in while on the island.
I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get to check out the Pearl Harbor Memorial, but I did get to go in the base (albeit, to see another ship). The University is amazing and for the best views of the city, check out Diamondhead Crater, definitely worth the hike.
Although, truth be told, I'd rather spend more time in Maui or one of the less populated islands. |

Wallydaclown Sat Nov 3, 2007 10:31 UTC Hit the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet- I lived in their T-shirts for years. Get the SLIGHTLY more expensive ones though. Goodwill has LOTS of almost-new Hawaiian shirts for 1/4 the price you will find in the good shops- 1/10th the price of Waikiki stalls. | TropicGirl77 Thu Feb 27, 2003 18:23 UTC Great write up! Aren't the movies on the beach something else?!? | hollyday Thu Jan 23, 2003 23:15 UTC Enjoyed your Waikiki page.
