Default Waikiki - Oh god, I hope I spelt that right!

Aloha mother fukcers!

I'm here in Waikiki, 2 blocks from the beach. Not gonna lie, I wish I lived here. I've seen plenty of Porche GT3s, NXs, and 350zs to have some sort of a multi-country baby. I'm down here with my girlfriend (yeah yeah, pics or it didn't happen); I've included a pic of the two of us. We're looking to do some surfing, mopeding (her idea, but everyone else is doing it so it's not gay, right?), shopping (don't get me started...), puff puff passing (of course, I'm from Oregon... ). Regardless, I've seen waaaaaay too many 350zs rollin around here in the past day to not believe that there's a HUGE my350z following.

Hit me your best, or your worst, fellas. What are the best spots to hit?




tl;dr pics or it didn't happen. inb4titsorgtfo :P

If you do the Arizona, then you should also look into the Bowfin right next door, the Mighty Mo on Ford Island (don't know if they are open right now because they are doing some repair work), and possibly Pacific Wings on Ford Island. Not big attractions by any stretch of the imagination as far as big exhibits and the like, but the history is what is really on display.

Hanauma Bay (fishies!!!!) on the east side of the island is something to look into........go early if you do go because it gets crowded really fast and the parking will become an issue.

Lastly stop by an ABC shop and buy some sun tan lotion before you burst into flames.

If you don't do Pearl Harbor, you might as well shoot yourself.

Watch the drugs out here... they lace a lot of their **** with **** you don't want your weed to be laced with (I worked counter-drugs here for the past 3 years).

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I'm going surfing as soon as this rain lets up, or I might just say screw it and go anyway - rain doesn't bother me. The gf and my buddy's wife went to check out the swap meet. I think tomorrow we're going to Hanauma Bay to do some snorkeling.

Thanks again, you guys. It's awesome down here.

Everyone goes to Matsumoto's because of the name. Personally I like Ice Garden in Aiea better. If you're going to Pearl Harbor/Arizona Memorial I would recommend looking it up and going there.

The last time I came here I was 6 years old. I was too small to get on the boat to see the Arizona. I'm definitely making it a point to see it now.

Make sure you get some plate lunch. The hole in the wall places are usually best (like BBQ Hut in Kunia). I'm a big fan of Fat Boy's (Waipio and Kailua)... they get mean garlic chicken and chicken katsu. Also, you definitely gotta hit up Zippy's for some chili and chicken and L+L for some loco moco. Another thing, stop by your local 7-11 and get a Spam musubi and a char sui manapua.

It's all about the grinds out here.

personally think rainbows has the best loco-moco and its close to waikiki to boot!

Also if you're not going all the way to the north shore (or even if you are) I find Waiola's Shaved Ice to have the best shaved ice in the world.

We're going out to the North Shore today. Heard they were supposed to get 15 foot waves. I only plan on watching though.

Yeah, I got some pretty good pics of the waves. We parked pretty far away from where the big ones were, at a park.
