Awesome! Congrats and enjoy! I was fortunate enough to "have" to travel there for work 2 years ago. Sure is a neat place. I second the recommendation to island hop if possible (though I didn't get TOO). On Oahu (where honolulu), if you can rent a car, I would recommend it. Getting out of Honolulu really opens your eyes to what's there. My favs, in no particular order, include: 1) In honolulu, the ice cream pie at Duke's, 2) Lanikai beach --- you can rent a kayak for TOO and take a fun trip to the just off-shore little islands with some lunch (very neat), 3) North Shore (and be sure TOO eat at Kono's - crazy good), 4) hike TOO Maunawili Fall (and jump off), 5) get to high ground and enjoy the view.
Have fun! Will look forward to your updates...
