Aloha ee

To anyone who knows me, it will come as no surprise that I'd decided to attend what was supposed to be the last night of U2's Vertigo Tour at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii. Circumstances have changed for the band and they've delayed their last ten dates - probably until November. But who am I to whine about a trip to Hawaii? I've been dutifully TiVo-ing "Girl Meets Hawaii" on the travel channel and my travel compatriot has secured a travel guide, but we're looking for on-the-ground suggestions. We're staying on Oahu but definitely want to get out of the Waikiki-Diamond Head area and see more interesting things. Any suggestions on where to stay, what not to miss, best drinks in town?
