Wonderful and silly things in Waikiki
by amberll
I loved eating fresh grilled fish sandwiches all over Waikiki and the island of Oahu. We dined at The Top of Wakiki (revolving restaurant). A little expensive (over $100 for two people) but a really unique experience. The Mahi Mahi was wonderful everywhere I went. Living in Minnesota you usually can only get lake fish sandwiches in restaurants and they are usually breaded and fattening. This maybe isn't the fondest but one of the funniest.
Men, please wear a real swim suit and not your underwear on the beach. I saw an older man sunning himself on a dock on Waikiki Beach last year. I don't know who he thought he was fooling with his black "swimsuit". He was obviously wearing old, faded, black cotton Calvin Klein brief underwear. It did give us a good laugh though but come on. Speedos are not that expensive, I work in a swim shop and you can get one for just $25.
Different sand texture
by OlenaKyiv
Go along Waikiki Beach from one side to another and pay your attention to the texture of the sand. You will notice that sand is different (white or grayish, rough or soft) along the shore. We thought it might be the sort of a natural miracle. But after our travel we watched Travel Channel with Samantha, and she explained that with time sand goes to the ocean, so hotels artificially put the sand on the beach. At least it was how I understood her.
Walk!

Walk around at Waikiki as much as possible...you will get to see much more that way... We walked around a lot and got to see some amazing views and scenery. Walking around at night was even nicer, it was cooler and there were less people around... :)
Who Knew?

I flew all the way from Pflugerville, TX to come to the land of Hawaii... and really, the ancestors of my hometown were already there!

The weather here is funny. Every morning there is a low cloud base which envelopes the mountains and although it hasn't rained yet, every morning it is like a fine mist of sprinkling rain.
