Waikiki
Oahu, HI

Social Events

 

Rai and I are delighted to welcome you to the beautiful “Aloha State!” The intangible spirit of “Aloha”, which characterizes this island paradise, ensures that you will be accepted into our unique island culture with care, concern and cordiality. Although Hawaii has six main islands, Oahu, home to Honolulu and the 2006 ABA Annual Meeting, is our favorite. Honolulu, which is now the eleventh largest city in the United States, has become a sophisticated, culturally vibrant city with “over the top” attractions and museums like the Arizona and Missouri Memorials—two huge ships that mark the beginning and end of World War II.You'll be staying on Waikiki Beach where the sport of surfing was invented. Take a surf lesson; you'll be riding to the beach on crystal clear blue water within minutes and hooked for a lifetime. Surf with TIPS to our outstanding professional educational programs and our enjoyable social events.
