During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Hawaii Country Club
This public course, located in Wahiawa, is a modest course where golfers usually have no trouble getting a tee time. The 5,861-yard, par-71 course is not manicured like the resort courses, but it does offer fair play, with relatively inexpensive greens fees. Located in the middle of former sugarcane and pineapple fields, the greens and fairways tend to be a bit bumpy and there are a number of tall monkeypod and pine trees to shoot around, but the views of Pearl Harbor and Waikiki in the distance are spectacular. There are a few challenging holes, like the seventh (a 252-yard, par-4), which has a lake in the middle of the fairway and slim pickings on either side. With the wind usually blowing in your face, most golfers choose an iron to lay up short of the water and then pitch it over for par. Facilities include a driving range, practice greens, club rental pro shop, and restaurant.
Aliiolani Hale
Don't be surprised if this place looks familiar; you probably saw it on Magnum, P.I. This gingerbread Italianate building, designed by Australian Thomas Rowe in Renaissance revival style, was built in 1874 and was originally intended to be a palace. Instead, Aliiolani Hale ("chief unto heavens") became the Supreme Court and Parliament government office building. Inside, there's a Judiciary History Center, which features a multimedia presentation, a restored historic courtroom, and exhibits tracing Hawaii's transition from precontact Hawaiian law to Western law. Allow an hour at most to see it.
Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park
If you have kids, you have to take them here! This 29-acre water-theme amusement park opened in spring 1999 with some $14 million in attractions. Plan to spend the day. Highlights are a football field-sized wave pool for bodysurfing, two 65-foot-high free-fall slides, two water-toboggan bullet slides, inner-tube slides, body flume slides, a continuous river for floating inner tubes, and separate pools for adults, teens, and children. In addition, there are restaurants, food carts, Hawaiian performances, and shops.

Honolulu area, including:
Hale Pupukea
This is the Hawaii you've dreamed about; on the hill overlooking Sunset Beach lies this 3-acre, lavishly landscaped property with a two-bedroom, 1,000-square-foot cottage, with private entrance and enclosed garage. Next door, hosts Ted and Ann Gold make sure that everything is perfect for your stay. A welcome basket with island goodies (fresh fruit from the 75 different fruit trees on the grounds, Kona coffee, chocolate mac nuts, banana or mango bread and popcorn) greets you as you enter the living/dining area. Everything you could possibly want from ironing board to beach paraphernalia (beach chairs, cooler, even big fluffy beach towels) to books on Hawaii fill the immaculately clean house. Outside on the porch is your own barbecue. Next to the cottage is a covered gazebo where you can watch the sunset from the old-fashioned swinging chair. The daily newspaper shows up on your doorstep every day, and you even have your own answering machine on your phone. The Golds have not overlooked any details. It's a short 5-minute drive to the beach, 15-minute drive to the shopping and dining in Haleiwa, and a world away from the urban hustle and bustle of Waikiki.
Ingrid's
Ingrid has impeccable taste. She's decorated this cute one-bedroom apartment in modern Japanese style that could be straight out of a magazine. The pristine white walls and cabinets are accented with such dramatic touches as black tile counters, black-and-white shoji doors, and a black Oriental screen behind a king-size bed dressed in white quilts and red, red, red throw pillows. The tiled bathroom is done in complementary gray and has a luxurious soaking tub. The kitchenette even has a dishwasher. A huge tiled deck extends out from the apartment, while a small alcove off the bedroom can house a third person or serve as a reading nook. Fresh flowers are everywhere. The apartment is located upstairs, past the Japanese garden and through a private entrance.
Rainbow Inn
This private tropical garden studio, downstairs from the home of retired military officer Gene Smith and his wife, Betty, has panoramic views of Pearl Harbor, the entire south coast of Oahu, and the Waianae and Koolau mountains. A large deck and full-size pool are just outside the apartment's door; inside, the apartment features a double bed, washer/dryer, and kitchen. The Smiths are happy to lend their guests any beach and picnic equipment they might need -- ice chest, beach mats and chairs, even wine glasses. Located near Pearl Ridge Shopping Center, Rainbow Inn is close to all of Oahu's attractions, yet far enough away to provide lots of peace and quiet. And at $75 a night, this is one of Oahu's best bed-and-breakfast deals. Hot tip: Reserve early -- bargains like this book up fast, especially when there's only one room.
