we were on oahu in november ~ my advice: rent a car, they're cheap, and you can get around MUCH better, no waiting for busses..

i was looking at our trip notes, mostly we ate.. and ate..and ate.. i'll email you our recommendations.

another don't miss is the swap meet at the Aloha Stadium (thats where we met Gecko!) you'll get THE best deals on souvineers there.

we did a luau, based on our friends' recommendation (they lived on oahu) Germaine’s Luau entertaining. decent food. crummy drinks.

when you sign up for the Polynesian Cultural Center, go for the cheapest dinner package. the food's not very good, ok. its damned icky. but after a long day, you'll be hungry. (however is you need a java jolt, sorry, its run by Mormans, so the coffee and sodas are all caffeine free!) .but you'll want to stay for the evening show..its pretty damned impressive a LOT OF FIRE

you can get pricy vintage shirts at Bailey’s Antiques and Aloha Shirts or.. do as we did, go to the Goodwill near the Pearl Harbor Tour.. there were TONS of shirts there, for 4 bucks.

if you'd like, i can lend you my "Okazu Guide" "Puka Guide" and "Day Hikes on Oahu"
