I'm back.
Hawaii was way cool. I made it to the Big Island and O'ahu.
I visited the Wailana Coffee House, Matsumoto's: Shave ice, and Turtle bay but missed out on malasadas and manapua
I hit the black sand beach (Punalu'u) where the Honu were sunning themselves, saw lava at Volcano park, hiked up diamonhead, and drove to the top to Mauna Kea, snorkeled at Hanauma Bay Park, visited Pearl Harbor and the ohh so icky Waikiki beach. Pictures and a more detailed report to follow... Thanks again for all the pre-trip advice.
