admin answers:
Oahu will offer you all the stuff you want to see you just have to get out and explore!
I am a nature nut and Hawaii is a great place to enjoy our beautiful planet! I put this together earlier but wanted to share it with you because there are some things here that will help you out! Hawaii is definitely worth it! I just can’t get enough of that place! I have been 6 times and I have found enough on Oahu to do that I haven’t even ventured out to the other islands yet! Here are some things in Waikiki and around the island to do; Dukes is def cool and right on the beach, and if you want to dance you can head over to Scruples. If you like to drink then do it in your room cause it is way way to expensive at the clubs. I suggest going to one of the 50+ ABC stores and grabbing your alcohol there for much cheaper! There is a ton of eating places down on the strip but the real Hawaii is out of town. Take the bus or drive up to manoa valley and experience the rainforest and a natural waterfall! Take a trip to the north shore and go to Waimaia Valley and see some of the most spectacular fauna anywhere! If you adventurous hike along the ridges and see paradise from 4000 feet! I did that and loved every second of it..Ok well it was more like 8 hours of it but anyway..lol. This link will take you to a site with very detailed info on hiking trails http://www.hawaiitrails.org/ Diving and snorkeling are pretty awesome too! Hanuama bay is touristy and with good reason. You are guaranteed to see tons of fish and have a nice afternoon at a beautiful beach! Diving can be done just off shore and runs around 100 bucks for 2 tanks and you don’t need to be experienced. Not far out of town you can jet ski or parasail. Wouldn’t really bother with the jet skiing because they have too many rules in Hawaii but the parasailing is something you should at least try once. After that it gets kind of boring. In town the international market place is def cool and worth strolling through…a tip..go to all the kiosks and then go back and don’t be afraid to barter..that’s how it works there! On the weekend a really cool thing to do it go to aloha stadium for a huge flea market!!! I mean huge the tents go all around the stadium and everything you find for souvenirs in Waikiki you will find there for way I mean way cheaper!! Oh one last thing, you have to go to a Luau and the Paradise Cove Luau is the best. Oh crap…just thought of something else that will help you out. Go to www.Entertaiment.com and buy the book for Hawaii and it will give you so many discount coupons it will pay for it self right away. I did and it worked great. I just found another site that has coupons that you can print off the web so check this one out too http://www.ecouponshawaii.com/. Don’t forget that part..really do it and you won’t be sorry. Many 2-1 coupons on dinners in the Entertainment Book. Waikiki is is really expensive so anytime you can save money it’s a good thing. I have been to Hawaii 6 times now and would love to live there. I hope you make it because you won’t forget it! Aloha!

Makiki Heights drive – Tourists don’t find this gem and it’s amazing! MUST SEE. Check your map to get to Makiki Heights. Great views of the island
Restaurants: There are tons of restaurants in Waikiki. If you are young and like to drink then drink b/4 you go out! The Pacific Beach Hotel has drink specials all week long and there a good deal. There are Mai Tai specials all over but DIXIES has the screamin Mai TAi which comes in a 32 oz glass and is about 6 bucks!!! Good Eats there too! For cheaper eats go outside of town over towards the Kaneohe side. If you do want to eat in Waikiki then I would highly recommend that you go to www.entertainment.com and buy the book for Hawaii. This coupon book will save you a ton on the island! Seriously every time I go I get the book and use all the 2-1 deals in it! Check ebay for it too sometimes you can get it dirt cheap!
Hotels; Best hotel for the money is the Ocean Resort Hotel on the east end of the strip. Very close to the beach, decent rooms, service is good and you will pay under a 100 a night for most rooms and the parking is much cheaper than the other hotels. Most parking isn’t included in the cost of your hotel and can be as high as 17$ per day to park. At the Ocean Resort they have limited parking but you can park across the street for 5$/day!

Linda asks…
Hawaii in December: Weather? Water temperature? Things to do?
Hi!
I’d like to travel to Hawaii on December and I’m looking for help about what the weather is like at that time of the year in Hawaii.
I’m looking for temperature and water temperature.
If you could give me degrees, I’d really appreciate it. I’m traveling from a Tropical zone, so my perception of just “cold” or “hot”can be quite different from that of somebody that lives in temperate zone.
Also, if you have any Hawaii december tips (what to do? What not to do?) I’d really appreciate it! I know is a strange time to go to the beach, but… what can I say?!
Thanks!
admin answers:
December is a good time to go to hawaii. The water will be in the upper 70’s and the air should be also in the upper 70’s most days to low 80’s. Here is a prior post I created you might be able to take advantage of!

Arab Culinary Culture: What does it mean?
Im not sure what ‘culinary’ means in this context ive tried searching but can’t come across a clear definition…what does this refer to?
admin answers:
Culinary, adj., pertaining to or used in the kitchen or cookery. Kitchen , food.
Culture, n., v., 1. The quality in a person or a “society” that arises from an interest in and aquaintance with what is generally regarded as excellence in ‘arts,’ ‘letters,’ ‘manners,’ “scholarly pursuits,” etc.
The Arabic ethnic group covers many countries in North Africa and the Middle East.
Most countries have a “culinary culture” easily and readily recognized by examples from the many types of ethnic restaurants and foods such as: Italian, Chinese (differences in many regions), French, German, Swiss, Ukrainian, Greek, Japanese, Polynesian, Fhilipino, East Indian, Moroccan, Egyptian, Portugese, Spanish, and on and on.
Each country has at least one and sometimes several culinary cultural foods according to different regions of the country.
I am certain that you get the idea by now.
