Don't forget to act like a local and make time for a "plate lunch." Find a dive that sells them (there are many throughout the city), plunk down your $5, and eat away. Certainly not fine dining by any means, but at least you can pretend you're not a mainlander for an hour. (If you're into the beach/ocean, make Sandy Beach -- about a 15-20 minute drive from Waikiki -- a priority. Great body surfing!)
