Here you go GatorRob.....

The Royal Hawaiian has a luau (Wednesday nite?) that was $90.00 per person. At a cost of $360.00 for our group we just went to the bar next to the luau and had 3 appetizers and 13 cocktails for about $165.00 and watched the luau. Better drinks and food in my opinion. You can see the line for the luau behind us. Several people kept looking back at us and were probably thinking that they should have sat at the bar too.

We had to modify our trip to accomodate Mrs. Fury's parents, but it was great seeing them enjoy the islands, like taking a child to Disneyland. Waikiki was very busy with tourists (like us) but was still a lot of fun. Next time we would do Oahu first and then another island or stay on the North Shore. Have fun!

As posted by others, the Halekulani had by far the best Mai Tais (and appetizers), service, and the best spot to listen to music. I could have sat there for hours....I don't remember the name of the band but they were excellent.....

For the steel players out there....I know you are looking Bong....

Aloha!
