A few tips for anyone going to Waikiki:

Look for free booklets called "Hawaiian Gold" or "Oahu Today". They're full of coupons for cruises, restaurants, museums, stores, airport shuttles, etc. You can find these booklets in news racks all over town.

Don't book a Dinner Cruise - you pay a lot for food that isn't very good. Just take a sunset cruise and then eat dinner at a restaurant on shore.

Avoid the people offering free or 1/2 price cruises or luaus. It's just a pitch for timeshare vacations.

There is a flea market at the Aloha stadium on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Don't expect to find vintage stuff there. You should only go there if you want to buy large quantities of t-shirts and cheap souvenirs to bring home.

Don't leave anything valuable in your car.

If you go to Tikis for dinner, try the Caeser salad with seared Ahi. Mmmmmm.
If you're really hungry get the sampler platter.

If you go to Dukes for dinner, save room for Hula Pie! (oreo cookie crust, macadamia ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and a cherry)

There are lots of internet cafe's around Waikiki, so you have plenty of opportunities to log onto Tiki Central and let us know how much fun you're having...
