I had the same reaction, although I did appreciate him drawing attention to how good hiking is here on Oahu.

I’ve noticed that there seem to be a lot more visitors on the Na Hele/tantalus trails lately, good!

Where else would you send visitors or newbies? (I like moanalua valley/kamananui)

Loquita (on lower state st near the funk zone/sterns wharf) is excellent for tapas, and makes for a fun evening. Www.loquitasb.com

Or for a low-key classic — McConnells ice cream. Good stuff :)

Wow! I am jealous (and inspired — new birthday goal unlocked!). Looks like you had a wonderful day
