“Oz was great! We took an UBER from our Hampton Inn Kapolei at 5:30 am to get to the office. The storm was not too bad. Pearl Harbor was great. Oz's tip about the movie was right on! Early start and Pearl was easy. North coast was fun. Ate at "Da Bald Guy" food truck food was great and Oz picked up the tab. Pouring rain made it more memorable. Go to the Polynesian CC just as it opened. rain was heavy now but running from hut to hut was fun. We saw presentations from: Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti and Hawaii. By 4 pm we were though ally thrilled and soaked!!!”
