Ignore everything else.
Tahiti is money, though. Bring your video camera."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic

There are two conflicting suggestions above for the PCC. What does the island child suggest? Actually, I'm most interested in Katy's thoughts about what my wife might like to do on island.
The canoe parade is also cool, my mom danced Tahitian on that one back in the day.
The last time I was at PCC my cousin was an instructor/dancer at the Hawaiian village. Out of the 12 grandkids on my mom's side, she and I are the whitest by about a factor of about 10. It always made me laugh thinking about the tourists there walking into the Hawaiian village and getting a pale ass kid with blues eyes as their instructor.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

It's on a wall in a staircase in my parents house.mightwill definitely look for the postcard when I go to the PCC next week.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Our powered hang-gliding experience was the most fun and memorable thing we’ve done on Oahu. Paradise Air (company website is linked here) is operated by a married couple who have been doing this for years and they’re both excellent. It’s pricey ($175 for a 30-minute flight, $225 for 45 mins., and $275 for an hour). We each did a 45-minute flight and enjoyed it immensely, although a 30-minute flight would still be great.
A video camera is constantly going on one wingtip, a still camera is running on the other. After you land, you can buy DVDs containing the photos or the video ($60 for either, $95 for both). Absolutely no pressure to buy either, but after what we had just experienced, we both had to buy them.
And despite the daredevil appearance, it’s really very safe. They haven’t had an accident or even a malfunction in the many years they’ve been doing this. Because of some weird regulations, they save a lot of licensing fees and other costs by selling trips as flying lessons, and in fact you spend part of the time (as much or as little as you want) steering the thing, but takeoffs and landings are done by the pilot. Throughout the flight, you can ask questions and the pilot provides as much or as little information (historical, geographical, meterological, etc.) as you want. We went up at the same time and we could see each other most of the time, but never got very close, which is probably a good thing...
Sorry if I've posted these before, but here's a shot of the northwestern tip of Oahu; I'm the one steering the thing at this point.

Note the rainbow. You can't see it well here, but in the air, rainbows are full circles
