I know a lot of my friends have traveled to Hawaii in the past year or so.  What better bunch of folks to get recommendations on things to do while there for a month.  We are going to definitely be in Oahu for 5 days and The Big Island (Hilo) for 3 weeks.

If you have any suggestions on cool local places, or found an awesome place to eat, or even a hide-a-way spot that isn’t in the guides, let us know.  Here is a sampling of what we plan to do.  If you there are some tips you have, e.g. arrive early, not worth doing, save your money, or try this instead recommendations, let me know.
