We are at the Hilton Waikiki Village Beach Resort in the Kalia Tower. We own a timeshare with Hilton Grand Vacations, all of their properties are awesome! Last time we were on the Big Island was for just 3 days, did not have much time to explore, but this trip being a week on Oahu and a week on the Big Island should give us plenty of time to do a lot of things. Google Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel and Dive, that's on our list.Which Hotel? We were at the Aston Waikiki. Curious to know about the big island....that will be our next visit, most likely! Have a great time.....of course...its hard not too out there
Indeed, this is our 4th year at the Hilton Waikiki Village Beach Resort, it's a wallet drainer but we keep coming back! We have eaten at Eggs N Things, good restaurant for breakfast.Awesome, We stayed in almost that exact room 2 years ago. Loved that place but DAMN they can pull money out of you in a hurry.
Take a walk to eggs n things for breakfast one morning. https://www.eggsnthings.com/
Enjoy it.

hahahaha.....for 10 years....I WAS the law....Houston PDHeck I have never been in trouble with the law, worst thing was a speeding ticket 25 years ago Lol.
Thanks! That's how we felt a few years ago, love it here, we have considered moving here a few times, but being close to our family is more important.We just got back! Stayed at Aulani on Oahu. Was immediately ready to turn right back around and go back.
Enjoy the stay.
It's tough vacationing when the kids are little, after 28 years of raising our 3 kids we became empty nesters last year, really enjoying being just the two of us.Very nice!
We were thinking of going to HI when my wife gets back from her deployment in Julyish, we have now changed our minds to a cruise, probably a Disney Cruise. Main reason for changing our mind is that a lot of stuff we would want to do in HI we wouldn't be able to take my 4 year old on like hiking, zip lining....adventurous stuff like that.
We have been to Dukes in the past, will have to check out the other places. Thanks for the recommendations.Kua Aina sandwich shop in Haleiwa.
Shore Bird in Waikiki.
Dukes on the Beach.
Check out Manoa falls in Manoa valley. Short easy hike.
We will make it a priority to visit there and pay homage to your Wife's Family.@AZDANSX230HO Next week when you are on the big Island make sure you check out Parker and Kahua ranches. Parker is my wifes ancestral home. She is the 9th generation of Parkers/Smarts. Although she never lived on the ranch, we were the last family members to stay at Puuopelu as it was being turned into a museum just before her grandfathers death in 1992. We have old footage (1930s) of how they used to swim the cattle out to the ships and then pluck them out of the water, pretty wild. Here is my wife sitting on a stone wall along the long driveway to Puuopelu back in 1988.View attachment 52209 and riding on the ranch with her dad Gil,View attachment 52210 and tacking up at pukalani stable.View attachment 52211Have some fun on the Big Island Dan Aloha.
