OOOH, yes! The PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center) was always a favorite place to go when I lived in Waipahu.

You can buy all the same Hawaii-theme souvenirs, seat covers, clothes, jewelry, etc. but it is cheaper than elsewhere. Worth it to do one-stop souvenir shopping then you can basically forget shopping the rest of the trip. Watch your purse, though. Lots of petty theft. Also the fabric stores there sell Hawaiian print fabric if that is interesting to you. They also have shops dedicated to selling mumus. Check the Yellow Pages when you get there if you can't find out any other way. There used to be a shop in Ala Moana mall that sold Hawaiian quilting themed items; they were nice to look at. There should be Hawaiian style quilts on exhibit someplace. Sorry I can't be more specific; it was eight years ago that I spent a few months there and my memory is hazy, plus a lot may have changed. Have fun! P.S. The number 8 bus runs up and down the main drag of Waikiki pretty frequently and it is often easier to take the bus in this area as parking is terrible. However if you are debating renting a car it is worth a day to circumnavigate the island (1/4 tank of gas in an economy car). The North Shore is very pretty and the waves should still be quite high this time of year. Also the Polynesian Cultural Center (run by the Mormons, incidentally, and next to their college campus) is very nice and is on the windward side of the island. You can take the bus but it is a long ride. ---------------------------------------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 00:42:06 -0500 > CC: > Subject: [h-cost] Quick suggestions for Hawaii > > Saturday morning I am leaving for Honolulu, Hawaii...tagging along with my > husband on a business trip.
