Hi All, We are travelling to Hawaii and staying in Waikiki next Monday 14th of September. There is 3 families (all related) consisting of 6 adults and 5 teenagers and 1 baby. What can people suggest about shopping. Where are the bargains. Where are the value for money food eateries. And for the guys where are the best places to grab a coldy. What places should we steer clear of? Basically after any advice you can offer. We will be doing the Pearl Harbour tour as I don't believe you can come to Hawaii without paying your respects. Cheers, Shane Melbourne Australia

Aloha ahiahi from Vancouver, Canada Is there a single transit bus that will take you around the entire island without transfers? or would you recommend a tour bus? Also, are there certain streets or areas of Waikiki one should avoid? (We have something called "East Hastings" in downtown that is not a nice area ie drugs, homeless etc) Mahalo in advance.

Aloha, I have a question on hotel room limits in Waikiki. We are planning to travel to Waikiki in late November. There will be 2 adults and 3 children all aged under 5. It would seem that the extra child is cutting down our options in terms of where we can stay. Are these limits set by the Hotel themselves or is this a legal requirement. One of the hotels we looked at has a limit of 4 guests but has 2 double beds and a pull out sofa bed. I would like to think that this would be more than enough for us. Can anyone shine some light onto this? Thanks in advance. JJ

It looks like the hotels have the beach all to there own , so when I drive in, where will I be able to park and at what cost ?

Hi, I will stay at Waikiki for 4 nights in October. I'm not sure which area is best to stay in: near Fort de Russy beach park or Kuhio beach park. I need to choose between hotels Castle Maile Sky Court and Waikiki Sand Villa Hotel. I read that the beach near Castle Maile Sky Court is the nicest beach area, but I think all the action is near Kuhio beach. Is it a long walk from Maile Sky Court to Kuhio? I would like to stay near a beach area where I can rent a surfboard. It would be great if anyone could advise me on this. Thanks!!!
