Best deal on Oahu

You can still find good deals in Hawaii, but you have to get off the beaten path and venture out of the tourist areas and into the real Hawaii.

Eating, shoping and exploring places where only the locals go can be a little intimidating at first. Best to wait a week or two until your lilly white skin has a bit of a tan before you venture fourth, then when you're ready, go with a confident attitude, one that says that you belong there too.

My wife and I have been all kinds of places and met all kinds of interesting people on Oahu and never had any problems. The Real Hawaii takes a little longer to learn and explore, but it has been worth every moment.
