I am going to spend most of the time on Oahu with a couple days on Maui for some outdoors stuff (mountain biking, ziplines, hiking, etc.).
IMHO, Ala Moana Beach on Oahu -- just across the Ali Wei Channel from Waikiki -- is a far superior beach to Waikiki. Ala Moana has hot local babes, while Waikiki is invested with fat, middle-aged people from Kansas. But the evening shows at the Waikiki hotels are fun, and there can be lots of tourist girls looking for romance.

Pearl Harbor. The navy cruise is the only one that'll take you our to the Arizona Memorial. It's a very moving experience.

On a drive around the island: Go over the Pali and stop at the top. The cliffs are awesome, as are the winds sometimes. There's been instances were suicides have jumped off the top of the Pali only to be blow back to safety. Once you're down on the windward side of the island, hand a left onto Kamehameha Highway. It'll take you around the main part of the island, including Waimea Bay. Once past there, you'll get to Halaieva [sp?] Circle, which will aim you back to Honolulu -- and the road will take you through pineapple fields. You can take pictures, but don't pick any or it's a BIG fine.

Ala Moana Center is a great place to girl watch. When I was there, there were a few modelling schools nearby.

I am at Salt Lake City now, the mountains from the airport are stunning, i haven't seen the Rockies in winter for over two decades. I came through SLC last year and was wowwed by the same thing!
