just my personal opinion, but whenever I am on the island, there is not a single day, that I've NOT been to Pahonu and swimming in the tidal pool.
The place is simply magical and it would be a waste being there only once.

This may as well be my own itinerary. It's inspirational!ConchRepublican wrote:OK, we're getting close! We have a rough itinerary put together . . .

What tha funk?!? I thought they were spending their last Christmas in D.C.?Steve wrote:Well it looks like the Obama's are jetting off to Hawaii for their annual Christmas vacation. It will be interesting when you get to the Estate if you can get any new intel on if he is actually moving in. Hopefully if the rumors are true it wont effect your sightseeing visit in anyway or at the very least you can turn him on to Coop's in a longneck, fig newtons and chili dogs........

Two weeks over there and one day he is going to Pearl Harbor to meet with the Japanese Prime Minister. Hopefully that will be next week before you get there.

Thank you! I was kind of overwhelmed with info and suffered a bit of a whiteout. I'm going to order this and keep it on hand.Rembrandt's Girl wrote:According to the Hawaii news they arrived on Oahu last night and went to their usual vacation location on Kailuana Place in Kailua.
By the way Conch, I've been meaning to post this...I know this guide has been mentioned here before but I very highly recommend Oahu Revealed by Andrew Doughty (https://www.amazon.com/Oahu-Revealed-Ul ... u+revealed). His guidebooks are chock full of information...many atypical places to visit, background information about sites, detailed maps, history of the Islands, honest reviews about places to eat (and stay but of course you have that covered), and much more, all with a fun comedic twist. Definitely not the usual dry, touristy type of guidebook. I enjoy them so much I always purchase any updated version that comes out whether I'm headed to Hawaii or not.
Coincidentally, the author lives not too far from where Obama is staying. Apparently his guidebooks are loved by many more people than just me!
