Okay, here's my trip: Aug 28 - Sept 5

Aug 28: Arrive at night = sleep at an inexpensive hotel in Waikiki

Aug 29: Scope around the area, check into the resort, enjoy the beach

Aug 30: Polynesian Cultural Center, which should take up the whole day. $125 Ambassador package with prime rib (I just want decent food that everyone else is getting in the middle of nowhere)

Aug 31: Rent a car, go diving as a beginner, Discover Scuba Diving in Oahu,$ Oahu First Time Diver Specialist, Scuba Dive Hawaii Honolulu this place looks like to have good reviews $115. Btw, is know how to swim mandatory for diving? I
don't know how to swim (fails)

Sept 1: Beach/shopping/relax, fly to Kona in the afternoon, rent a car in Kona (Mustang convertible or Kia Accent? Can I switch in between? Save some $$$)

Sept 2: Drive to Volcano sites, explore beaches or hikes

Sept 3: to be planned (I will have access to a car rental) Suggestions?

Sept 4: Beach/Relax, fly back to Honolulu, sleep

Sept 5: Shopping and more shopping, fly back to Vancouver

Note: Kona parking at my resort is only $10 all day, so that's reasonable. I will be bringing my own GPS.

I am still in the planning process, not into skydiving but will consider parasailing, snorkeling, and other suggestions. Basically nothing too strenuous and looking for some relaxing time.
