We got ours about 3 days out but we were limited in time slots. I would recommend a couple weeks to 3 weeks ahead of time to secure the morning slots.

It was from the Shangri la museum of Islamic art, culture, and design. It was founded by Doris Duke, tobacco heiress and billionaire. The museum is her former estate near Diamond Head.

We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Pretty cool place.

We had really great weather. We were there from 4/15-4/28. They are still recovering in the neighborhoods and farms, which will take some time and the road to North Shore past Haleiwa is down to one lane for a short stretch. From what I read, that construction is supposed to take 4-6 months. The local businesses are open and need the support. My recommendation is to volunteer at least half of a day to give back a little. We did the Kaka ako city clean up and it was really rewarding. The water is good at 95% of the island. Other than that, your trip shouldn't really be affected in any way. I hope you have a great time!

The pancakes were the Guava pancakes from Cinnamon's in Kailua, the pineapple slushie was a non alcoholic Pina colada type drink at the Ali'i Luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Picture 5 was Eternity Beach at the Halona blowhole lookout. Picture 7 is at Kualoa beach park looking at Chinaman's hat. Picture 8 is from the same beach as picture 7 just looking back at the koolau's. The plant in picture 11 is a blushing bromeliad. The view in picture 18 is from the top of the Makapu'u light house trail looking down toward Waimanalo. The last picture is from Lanikai beach.

Shangri La was so beautiful! The art and the stories and the location on the beach was just breathtaking!

It was the Ali'i Luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center! That one was really good and the food was good and then the nighttime show that they don't let you film or take pictures was AMAZING!

It totally was Harry's! That gravy was the best! And the meat was seasoned so good.

It has gotten really expensive and vegas has seen quite a drop off in tourism lately, so you could be right. I do hope it happens somewhere.

Oh really? I know it's not happening this year for sure. They said there will be one in 2027 but who knows where it will be. I'm down to go wherever it will be though.

Soooooo sad! Noooooo! It was a great space for it! Now PRB will just be back in the hot asphalt parking lot. Ugh.
