Recommendations: Hawaii
Work is sending me and a coworker to Hawaii (for work, alas). However, I'll have two free days (6/24 and 6/30) as well as one free evening (6/23) to have a look around the place. I'm staying in Honolulu, and will be on Oahu the entire time I'm there. The hotel is one of the Honolulu International Airport hotels -- a Best Western, I think. There is a car available, but it's in my coworker's name, so I will likely not have ready access to it.
Questions for the assembled folk who know Hawaii:
* Does Honolulu have decent public transit? How about the rest of Oahu? If so, is there a website for trip planning?
* Do you have any tour books you particularly like?
* What do you recommend I do in my spare time?
I like trying out new food, new beer, and I suppose I should make at least one beach stop that involves fru-fru drinks with umbrellas in them. I also think I'd like to stop by Pearl Harbor and see the WW2 memorials there.
Thoughts?

If it's still the same family that's running it, know what you want, because they don't speak a lot of english. And, if you go there with a group, they'll bring the soup in a bucket-sized bowl and expect all y'all to eat out of it. This really freaked out my mom for some reason. It's fucking awesome korean food, though.
