We are two Canadians coming to Oahu today and would like to meet up with some of you locals!

As the title says, we are flying in today and will arrive around 9pm local time. We are going to be staying in Honolulu until June 13th, hopefully doing all of those fun things people in Hawaii do. If anybody would like to meet up with us and hang out or surf together, we would be thrilled to meet you! Both my gf and I are 25 and will be doing surfing and hiking when we're here. We've never been to Hawaii before, so if one of you kind people would be able to show us around or give us some tips on things to do, we'd love to hear from you. I promise we will try to not say 'eh?' too much, but no promises.

awesome to take one for the team, leprechaun. I'll be at the Irish Rose tonight if you want to take them to an uber dive that's stumbling distance from their hotel.

Haha, anything for a fellow redditor... Besides, when my random acts of pizza post got x-posted to r/Hawaii by some wild redditor and owenbowen04 hooked me up... The least I can do is pay it forward. :)

From your name, I trust you both drink AND surf? If so, I'd gladly buy you a round or few for picking us up! We have to check in to the hotel and all that junk, but we only have one suitcase between us, so it shouldn't be a hassle. Free for some beers tonight?

leprechaunsurferOʻahu•

Works for me

I just moved here (2 weeks ago!) and I'd be happy to meet you guys but I am not a very good resource as of yet. Maybe we can go do something touristy together. My ass is not getting on a surfboard though and I didn't bring anything that is hiking friendly (my stuff is on the slow boat here from San Diego) but if you want to do something like the Bishop Museum or just meet for a meal/drink, I'm in Waikiki too so let me know!

hearshotOʻahu•

I'm down to do whatever all week, just let me know what you want to be up to.

I'm here until Tuesday if you want to hike, been doing that like a madman out here.

Edit: hike not hole, my phone makes me look dumber than I really am I promise.

Edit 2: If you eat only one burger while here I'd suggest Teddy's, stuff is really good.

We flew in Saturday night from YVR. Where are you two staying? It would be fun to have another couple to hang out with if you two are close by. We are right on Waikiki beach.

Want to get together tonight? Walk the strip or whatever? There's a neat bar near you with over 100 different beers on tap, so that's pretty neat.

Yeah we should absolutely do that but probably not tonight. We just landed and we're both exhausted. We're also from Florida by the way. I'll contact you tomorrow and we'll figure something out and arrange a good ol fashion vacation drunk.

I live at the Waikiki grand literally next door to hula's. So if you wan to meet up on the 10th floor that'd be awesome, I'd love to meet some new people.

oneniftyOP•

You're in the Waikiki Grand building?

-dusk-•

Oh yeah I live in 215. If you want after midnight I'm available, some of the rooms here are actually condos, just saying. I'd love to meet some new friends.

If you feel like coming out to the North Shore, I live out here, right by the bus stop by Weed Circle in Haleiwa.

There's no surf to speak of right now, but if you feel like a hike or a freedive, shoot me a PM and we can link up.
