Can't help with Hawaii, as I've never been there. Now, when you decide to take a vacation to eastern Iowa, let me know as there are plenty of ideas I can offer you.

Like for example you can . . . well . . . ah . . . .



hmmm . . . .


never mind.

Sounds awesome. Tourism is way down, so you should be treated well. I've never been there, so we expect a full report. Enjoy.

I am not exactly sure, one of the people I am meeting there set it up but if I understand it correctly it is a mile or so of ziplines and other ropes course type stuff up in the tropical forest canopy. We let everyone pick sometimg and this was her's, mine was snorkling in huana (sp?) bay.

Sounds like a good thrill.

This is my rifle, this is my gun. One is for killing, the other is for fun. Been there, don't miss it.

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!

This is essentially correct. If you saw the Sean Connery film Medicine Man, there's some ziplining in that. My daughter did it on a 3-week study trip to Costa Rica awhile back -- pretty safe and quite a thrill.

I'm here. It's pretty overcast but the temperature is great!

First addition to the trip: Shark Cage

Also we are spending most of the day doing the road to Hana, which will let me see some of the countryside.

Thanks for the advice everyone!
