The Bus is definitely the best bargain on Oahu. For 25¢ you can go just about anywhere including around the island. School age children ride for 10¢.
If you'd like to take the four hour trip around Oahu, board the #8 bus to Ala Moana Center requesting a transfer to Kaneohe/Wahiawa (#52) or Wahiawa/Kaneohe (#52). They both circle the island but in different directions. If you stay on the same bus for the entire trip, you'll have to pay another 25¢ at Ala Moana for the #8 bus which takes you back to Waikiki. Should you get off during your trip and board another bus, request a transfer to use at the Ala Moana Center.
Take exact change. Drivers cannot make change.
Luggage and large parcels are not allowed on the bus.
Waikiki buses are often full, but don't fret. They run every three minutes.
Most of the buses you will take from Waikiki downtown (toward Honolulu or Ala Moana Shopping Center) should be boarded on Kuhio Ave.
If you need a transfer, ask for one when you board the bus, not when you exit.
Makai—toward the ocean
Mauka—toward the mountains
Diamond Head—toward the end of the island crowned by Diamond Head
Ewa—the opposite direction from Diamond Head

How's the fishing? Stroll down to the International Market Place in Waikiki and take a look at the marlin on display. There's your answer, all 1800 pounds of it.

Oahu weather is beautifully balmy, as near to perfection as you're likely to get on this globe. Temperatures are generally in the seventies in the winter; in the summer they creep up into the eighties. The average range in Honolulu varies only seven degrees between August, the hottest part of the year, and January, the coolest time. The difference between day and night peaks is about 12 degrees. At Waikiki the ocean fluctuates narrowly between 75 and 82. In other words, if it's summer you want, you've come to the right place.
The island is air conditioned by northeasterly trade winds which blow almost all the time and usher in an occasional shower. During spring and summer these rains are few and come mostly at night. In winter the trades are sometimes replaced by Kona winds coming up from the south with sticky or stormy weather in tow. But Kona winds are infrequent and rarely last more than a couple days.
Rainfall varies greatly according to local conditions. It's wetter to the windward of the mountains and fairly dry on the leeward coast. The average rainfall in Waikiki is about 20 to 25 inches per year, slightly more in Honolulu.
The volcanic cataclysms that pushed Oahu through the surface of the Pacific four to six million years ago originated in a fault in the earth's crust at the bottom of the ocean. Complete with rumbling, sputtering and spectacular fireworks, it was a dramatic premiere performance. Today this gentle island, green and golden, belies its violent birth. A millennium of rain, sunshine, waves and trade winds have sculpted Oahu into a tropical jewel of lush valleys, mountains and curved sandy beaches.
The Polynesians were the first to successfully sail the vast reaches of the uncharted Pacific to land in Hawaii. They dragged their huge double-hulled canoes ashore more than 1000 years ago. The original inhabitants of Oahu from the Marquesas Islands were followed by several waves of Tahitian immigrants.
Their primitive way of life came to an end with the arrival of Captain Cook in 1778. By the middle of the 19th century Honolulu Harbor had become a key Pacific port for whalers, sandalwood and fur traders. In 1850 the Hawaiian Royal Court moved permanently to Honolulu which has been the seat of government for monarchy, republic, territory and state.
Immigrants came to Hawaii's tropical shores in continuing waves. New England missionaries made their first hazardous trip around Cape Horn in 1820 bringing new concepts of religion, agriculture, commerce and democratic government. As the native population dwindled due to western diseases, laborers were needed to work the fields for the rapidly growing sugar industry. Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants followed by Koreans, Portuguese and Puerto Ricans added new languages and cultures to the island population.
In 1893 a provisional government was set up to replace the monarchy and one year later the Republic of Hawaii was founded. The islands were annexed by the U.S. in 1898 and made a territory in 1900. In 1959 Hawaii first flew the stars and stripes as a full-fledged state.
Today Oahu welcomes an astounding number of visitors to share its exotic scenery, eternal summer climate and warm aloha spirit.
People the world over have enjoyed the sweet and succulent products the Hawaiian Islands are famous for—sugar and pineapple. These are the two most important agricultural industries in the archipelago. Pineapple can grow at higher elevations and needs less water than sugar cane so the crops don't compete for the same lands. Because Hawaii must import most essentials from the U.S. mainland, the export of sugar and pineapple is an important factor in the state's balance of trade. Also, with the world running low on verdant spaces, sugar and pineapple are keeping Oahu green.
Sugar cane came to the islands in the hulls of the great canoes those early Polynesians sailed across the Pacific. Hawaiians planted it as a windbreak around their homes and broke off sections to chew when they traveled.
The first sugar plantation in Hawaii was started in Manoa Valley on Oahu in 1825 and the first export recorded was two tons in 1837. The Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society was instrumental in bringing the initial shipment of Chinese laborers to work the fields in 1852. This was the beginning of waves of immigrant workers who have contributed a wealth of cultural diversity to Hawaii.
Cane on Oahu takes about two years to mature. The industry is highly mechanized and has virtually eliminated hand labor. Just before harvest, whole fields of cane are deliberately set on fire. This destroys unwanted leaves and other trash and does not affect the sugar content.
Hawaii's sugar industry is recognized as the world's leader in sugar technology and production and its workers are among the highest paid full-time agricultural workers in the world.
Sugar Cane Fields Burning
Pineapple was first introduced to the islands by a counselor to King Kamehameha the Great in 1813. Today's industry got its greatest impetus from Captain John Kidwell, an English horticulturist who searched the world for a pineapple variety that would be most suitable to Hawaii. The Jamaican variety known as the Smooth Cayenne which he introduced is still the predominant strain grown in Hawaii.
In 1899 a young New Englander, James B. Dole, built a cannery next to pineapple growing on his own lands in Wahiawa on Oahu. The first year's output in 1903 was 1800 cases. Today the Dole company packs this amount in just a few minutes.
Pineapple takes nearly two years of careful tending before it matures. Then each low-growing plant yields only one fruit. A year later the same plant will produce one or two more pineapples; then the whole process must be repeated.
At harvest time, pickers move through the fields placing the fruits on long-armed conveyors, a process which at the peak of the season continues on into the night with the help of lighted booms.
Only those who have tasted a field-ripened Hawaiian pineapple know what real pineapple is all about. The airport is full of enlightened visitors who are taking cartons of these succulent fruits home with them.
Hawaii produces 45% of the total world production of pineapple.

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
http://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
