There’s no other show like it in the world. The Magic of Polynesia is the ultimate stage show combining magic, illusions, Polynesian dance, song and chant. A truly innovative and spellbinding evening that reinvents the typical “dinner theatre.” Watch as International Magician Society’s Merlin award-winning master illusionist John Hirokawa performs amazing feats before your eyes. …

OK, I admit it..I”ve always thought that blasting around on a jet ski would be fun, but I’ve never done it. I like going fast as much as the next guy, but I’ve just never brought myself to do the jet ski thing. Maybe I can rationalize it by saying “it’s a young person’s thing,” …

We’ve never taken one of these rides, but they really do look like fun. These are “real” submarines that move about on their own, not attached to rails or any other similar device. From their website, the ATLANTIS submarines certainly apear spacious and with lots of windows for good viewing. As a former naval officer, …

Let’s face it…some of us can make things grow and some people can’t (me.)

Now, THIS looks like fun! As both a private pilot and a military parachutist, I like the idea of being towed behind a boat at considerable altitude. This appeals!

And like the little kid

Still a good way to live out one’s Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods fantasies (no, not THOSE fantsies…shame on you for even thinking that), miniature golf is as much fun today as it was back in the 1950s and 1960s in its heyday. Looking for a fun, low-pressure way to unwind in the late afternoon? This …

If you’re looking for some excitement on a slow afternoon, this might be what the doc ordered. What could be more exciting than jumping out of a perfectly good airplane for no othere reason than thrill seeking? I’ll let YOU do the math on that one… But on the other hand, there is safety in numbers with this…a whole lot of people go make a whole lot of jumps every year without any significant decrease in the sky-diver population, so what the heck…grab that rip chord and take that first, really big step…

Just becasue you’re on vacation doesn’t mean you can’t get some exercise too! I think it would be fun to get out and see O’ahu by bike…lots of beautiful scenery and lots of nice roads. I recall very clearly riding up Tantalus Mountain in the 1970s…ahhhh, to be 23 again!
