There is a lot to do here, be open minded and have fun! Sorry about the weather, but of course you know that is beyond our control. Dave in Honolulu gave some great advice! Pick up a free This Week magazine, there's good information in there and maps too. Be safe and have fun!

We discovered early on in our travelling to always put ours in a bag as we started out. Just rolled them up and they did not take much room. It could come down in torrents and we just trudged on.

The traffic can get really bad in Haleiwa, it's a 2 lane road. Stop by the Dole plantation on your way there. Back in town, go climb Diamond Head, it's a fairly easy hike. All paved or concrete but it will get you winded. TAKE WATER. When you get to the top the view is fantastic. Just past Diamond Head is Hanauma Bay, great place to snorkel. Get there early because once the parking lot is full they close. You have to watch a video about the reef before you go down to the bay, it only takes a few minutes. They are closed on Tuesday. Keep going past the bay and there is great scenery, its all 2 lane road and there are lots of places to stop and take pictures. Sandy Beach, Sea Life Park, and Makapuu Lighthouse are all out that way. On the Ewa (west) side of the island is Paradise Cove. They have a good Luau and the sunset is gorgeous. <BR/> Have a plate lunch sometime. It's served in a Styrofoam box, some type of meat rice and mac salad usually. Just look for the lunch wagons or a canopy set up by the road on weekdays. Have a loco moco for breakfast, I like the ones at Big City Diner. Take a rain jacket with you if you are on foot, it's the rainy season here. It's humid because the Kona winds are blowing in from the south. When the trades are blowing its really nice. Hope this helps.

Just to let you know...the snow basically turned into sleet and everything is covered with ice. So, it should be fun tomorrow!! I was jealous before, now I am down right green with envy.
