Experience the fun and excitement of sailing on the Makani Catamaran. Feel the ocean breezes, and keep your eyes open for dolphins. The breakfast sail or afternoon sail are included with the Go Oahu Card. With the card, visitors get admission to over 25 Oahu attractions, plus discounts on restaurants, retail stores, and other activities.

I take a lunchbreak and stroll up the street to find food. I run into Kyle, the head of the gym in my building. He just bought a Ducati. He's into the import car scene. He's got a band that sings local Hawaiian-style music - Chillaxin. I head out to Yum Yum Thai up the street and get my favorites. They run out of Pad Thai noodles, but they have the sweet sour chicken and bamboo curry. It's very tasty and a great deal! You'll get a look at what Bishop Street looks like on foot.
