Teddy Bear World

Aloha!  I quite enjoyed Teddy Bear World in Honolulu.  As you walk into the complex, there's a gift shop with lots of Teddy Bears & accessories for purchase.  Had a bit of a laugh at the Elvis Teddy Bears.  Up the escalators, Teddy Bear World is divided into different exhibits. There are the 8 wonders of America, Dinosaur Park, Save the Planet and the Teddy Bear Museum.  My favourite was the Dinosaur Park, which is a prehistoric re-creation with animatronic dinosaurs and prehistoric teddy bears.  At the end of the exhibit is a stage show of Elvis and his band and backup singers doing a rendition of Elvis's hits, including of course Blue Hawaii.  Very entertaining!

Waikiki Beach

Aloha!  The famous Waikiki Beach requires no introduction.  The hotel was just across the road from Waikiki Beach, so we managed to hit the beach on most days.  The clear blue water was perfect temperature, no seaweed, very sandy with minimal waves and rocks.  This is what Hawaii is all about! Total Bliss!

Nu'uanu Pali Lookout

Aloha!  The Nu'uanu Pali Lookout ("Cool Height Cliff") overlooks the 985 foot cliffs of the Koolau Mountain Range.  This tourist spot offers fantastic panoramic views of the Windward coast of Oahu and has incredible winds that often pass through the Pali.

Queen Kapi'olani Park

Aloha!  Kapi'olani Regional Park is the largest and oldest public park located in Honolulu.  The 300 acre park was named after Queen Kapi'olani and is home to the Waikiki Shell (bandstand), the Honolulu Zoo and offers spectatular views of Diamond Head Crater.
