During our two week travels in Hawaii, I only allotted two days on the island of Oahu. However, I will say that they were two FULL days. We arrived before 7 a.m. and departed on an 8:30 p.m. flight the next day. In two days, I think we were able to get a little taste of what Oahu had to offer.
Chuck learned to surf, we visited Pearl Harbor, and toured the island.
I cashed in some hotel points and we stayed at the Hilton Waikiki Village compound in the Rainbow tower. Our room was nicely appointed and had a great view of Diamond Head, the beach, the ocean, and the Friday night fireworks!

We drove around the island and found this lighthouse at Makapuu point on the southeast side of the island.
Lucky for us, the Van's surfing contest was in full swing while we were there.
There are far too many beautiful beaches to mention in and around the North Shore area. We stopped at almost all of them just to enjoy the scenery and walk a bit. As you're tooling around the North Shore, stop at Ted's bakery for lunch. Yum! It's definitely a hot spot for locals and tourists near Sunset Beach, so be prepared for to wait a bit to place your order. Counter staff are helpful and can quickly spot a newby!
