When my aunt came to visit me for Christmas, I just knew that I would have to take her to Germaine’s luau. Located in Kapolei, Germaine’s is about 45 minutes from Waikiki. For visitors to the island, there are bus tours available that will take you to the luau. For locals, there is ample parking space available, and the luau site is very easy to find. Reservations can be made on the Germaine’s Luau website, or on any military base that offers

On Dec. 7, 2008 my wife and I were on our way to the beach when we realized we wouldn’t be able to make it. As we approached the intersection of Kalakaua Ave. and Lewers Street, we could see that police had barricaded the street and weren’t letting people cross. What is this, we wondered? And then we saw–and heard–the first motorcycles. Read the rest of ‘Toys for Tots’ Motorcycle Ride–Waikiki »

Recently my wife and sister and I went for a catamaran sail and snorkeling trip from Waikiki Beach. We left right from the beach in front of the Outrigger Hotel where the Shorebird restaurant is. After boarding the boat right on the beach, we headed for a short ride to the snorkel spot–a place called “Turtle Canyon” because of all the green sea turtles that are known to hang out there.

Every Friday the Hilton Hawaiian Village puts on an “Aloha-Style” show, sort of like a luau show without the dinner. My wife and I checked it out on December 5, 2008, and I must say it was quite entertaining. The show started at 6:30 pm.The evening began with the King’s Procession and then continued with the music, attire, performances and dance from Hawaii and other Polynesian Islands. The night ended with music to a spectacular fireworks display. Read the rest of Hilton Hawaiian Aloha Friday King’s Jubilee and Fireworks Show »

My friends and I were traversing the island when we decided to stop off at Kualoa Park. When my friends and I were in high school, we would often make the trip all the way out to the East Side to potluck and have a great time in each other’s presence. The great thing about Chinaman’s Hat/Kualoa Park is the amount of things you can do there. The park itself is pretty large and there is also a beach, so you can pretty much do whatever you want (within the realm of reason of course) at Chinaman’s Hat.

On a recent trip to the North Shore with a few friends of mine, we decided that we would trek through Haleiwa town, something none of us had done since transitioning into the career world of a twenty-something. We traversed through the little town that has much preserved its uniqueness and I was reminded of its innate beauty that both tourists and locals alike have fallen in love with.

My friends and I decided, shortly after the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall came out on DVD, that we wanted to go to Turtle Bay and goof off for a day. So, we made the trek all the way to Kahuku and we spent the day at the Turtle Bay Resort.
There are two ways to get to Turtle Bay – the long way and the longer way. Both ways to get there are very scenic, but one is much longer than the other. Read the rest of Beachside at Turtle Bay Resort »
Last weekend my wife and I went to the Ala Moana Mall near Honolulu. This is the largest outdoor mall in the United States, and although we have been here many times, we still probably haven’t seen it all. There are literally hundreds of shops and vendors to choose from, in addition to dozens of eateries, from fast food to gourmet dining. Also, it’s a visually appealing mall, with numerous fountains, koi ponds and landscaping throughout. Read the rest of All Around Ala Moana Mall—Honolulu »
