...I went to Hawaii and stayed in Waikiki which is the tourist area of the main island.Its about a 20 minutes transfer from Honolulu airport to Waikiki and cost about USD25 for a private transfer in a towncar(A posh taxi).Travel is easy around the island by bus.All journeys cost 1 dollar.Make sure you have a 1 dollar note as they dont give change.Bus guides can be bought in the Seven to eleven corner shops for 5 dollars.The number 13 (CHECK BEFORE HAND) is a useful bus running from Waikiki to Pearl Harbour , you have to visit the HSS MISSOURI where so many brave men lost there lives.Admission is free (make sure you pick up a ticket on entry and dont loose it!!)but donations are gratefully accepted.Go early as only about 45 people (We Qed for 2 hours, but lots to see while your waiting)per boat allowed across to the site.First you get...

...Hawaii, fortunately, was one of our destinations on our honeymoon in 1984. I had written an opinion on the Dusit Thani Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand recently.

...I stayed at this hotel during my third trip to Hawaii in 2006. The big plus point to this hotel is the location combined with the value. The hotel is just a very short walk from Waikiki Beach, the shops, restaurants & the beachfront hotels. It has a central location which takes you right into the heart of Waikiki but being on Kuhio Avenue it has great access to The Bus for anyone wanting to explore the island. The hotel also has a recommended Thai restaurant (Keo's) on the ground floor which also does a breakfast menu. There are other options nearby. The hotel itself does not have a real breakfast area. The hotel facilities are good for people using it as base. It has an Outrigger Activities centre to help organise events, a small shop and helpful hotel staff. The condition of the hotel is good also. Our room was large enough... Read review
