    The Wife and I will be visiting oahu/kauai next may. Any recommendations/advise on what to do, where to go??
    Also, why is it that resorts/hotels charge so much for freaking parking?? I'm considering renting a car.

    We will be staying at Park Shore Waikiki. We got 5 days there.
    Mainly sightseeing, parks/zoo, museums.
    Maybe a few restaurants.

    lets see...i think the hotel your at is on lemon rd? by the zoo? kapahulu ave got some spots. rainbow drive inn for lunch, onos hawaiian seafood (lunch), dukes at outrigger waikiki (dinner), tikis bar and grill aston waikiki on the beach i think thats what the hotel is called (happy hour). ill think of a few more. if your getting a rental car then i can get you more ideas as well

    as for parking, waikiki charges a lot of parking because parking in waikiki is very minimal. you can park at the zoo but im not sure of the rates since they redid the lot. ala wai got free street parking but you gotta move the car out by 7am i believe.

    Thanks, most likely I'll rent a car. We don't wanna deal with riding a mini bus all day on a tour with a bunch of people.

    If you're into sushi Sansei in the Marriott is pretty damn good. It's not cheap by any means and you get what you pay for.

    The zoo is a dollar an hour for parking.

    La mariana off sand island is a pretty cool little spot. its hard to find but totally worth it just for the ambiance Aiea Bowl has REALLY good food (believe it or not) if you go around the pearl harbor area.
