So Where is Waikiki?
If you’re not familiar with where Waikiki is take a look at the map below. Waikiki is a touristy area of Honolulu, Hawaii on the island of Oahu. It’s a very popular area with tourists because of its amazing beaches, proximity to the dormant volcanic crater Diamond Head, and great location just a few miles from downtown Honolulu and Pearl Harbor.
If you have any questions as I progress along this journey feel free to contact me as I’d be more than happy to answer your questions.

I’d like the site to tell me what the beach activity deals are of the day (free movie, free surf lessons, tours, etc).

I think it would be fun if my day was to find the Waikiki Bikini girl of the day… maybe I’m on to something…

The month of June is one of the best times to visit Honolulu, as you can catch the Waikiki Artfest where you can buy fine handmade Hawaiian goods such as jewelry and ceramics.
P.S. I also believe in living below your means!

Hi Ryan - I’m stopping by after you commented on my blog. I really like how you are documenting your site build and I’m going to read it in more detail. My travel site is based on Disney World - you can see it at http://www.affordabledisneyvacationpackages.com. As they are currently building a Disney Vacation Club resort in Hawaii I think there is a great opportunity for us to link swap when you’re ready

Hi Ryan,
I stumbled across your site when I was reading 2createawebsite.com. Love the articles, they are fantastic to read. I particularly like this venture you are undertaking about a visiting Hawaii website.
I was fortunate enough to visit Hawaii nearly 2 years ago - work conference! I’d love to go back - I’m sure you’ve tons of pictures. I highly recommend the gliding at Dillingham Airfield on the north shore, near Mokuleia!
I’m trying to venture into the world of blogging myself - and even setting up different websites about things I am passionate about - I’m open to any advice!
