The latest location of Eggs 'n Things is now open in Ko Olina, yippee! There are lines out the door at their Waikiki locations and it’s busy here as well. Great assortment of breakfast and lunch items at prices that are well below what you'd pay over at the hotels across the street. We’re partial to Portuguese sausage and the Macadamia Nut Pancakes with Lilikoi syrup.

Our favorite restaurant, by far. Not just a place to eat but an enjoyable dining experience along the shore of lagoon one, next door to our home, on lagoon two. You know the restaurant is serious about their fish as they have a fish sommelier! Our favorite splurge for the food, atmosphere and service.

Around the Island Parks & Nature
If you're in good physical shape and would like to see an amazing view of Waikiki and Honolulu, then steep stairs, pill boxes, dark tunnels and a lot of walking shouldn't dissuade you. It's a strenuous hike but one we've taken with our 62 year old mom who is in excellent shape. Beautiful views will reward you at the end of the hike. Bring plenty of drinking water and also snacks if so inclined.

A great swimming beach with parking at a premium. The only times we've been able to swim here is when we've had a driver drop us off and then pick us up later. Worth the effort.
