No recommendations on boxes, however I will be in Oahu / Waikiki next
month (never been before) so any suggestions on things to see/do?

I spent a month there @ U of H a few years back and can suggest the
following:

- Lanikai Beach (and Kailua), on the other side of the island, _AWAY_
from Waikiki. The beach is beautiful, and nearly deserted, just like
travel brochures. Hit this beach early in the trip, and you'll never
put up with the Waikiki crowds.
- The WWII submarine tour and monuments, over near Pearl Harbor.
- All the sights on the windward side. This is a great drive up the
coast. Stop at the turn offs and check it out. Chinaman's Hat is
cool, too!
- The Missouri tour, and the Arizona memorial tour, of course! G

I spent some time over on the big island, and got over 13,000 feet up
to see the telescopes. That was pretty cool, although it can be
expensive to get over there and up.

I really can't remember any restaurants good enough to recommend. G

I've already got a flight over to the big island for the day and a 2 hr
heli tour booked. Not sure what else to do over there that day,
presumably wander and find some dinner before the flight back.
