Trying to plan out the activities for your upcoming vacation to Hawaii? Or, are you a resident of Hawaii who's just looking for something to do on a Friday night? Well then, if that is the case then I think I may be able to help you plan out your Friday night.
Every Friday evening the Hilton Hawaiian Village puts on a series of shows for guests (and anyone else who may wander through their hotel). It opens with the village guards drill team proceeding through to start the main show, which is a Polynesian party of song and dance that will take you through many of the native dances. This wonderfully firey show full of energy is performed pool side by the pool that is closest to the beach. You can buy tickets to sit in the pool area and watch the show. However, as many do, you can just stand right outside the pool area and still have the same great experience for free. The show will last a little less than an hour and will end simultaneously with the kaboom and kickoff of the fireworks show.
While you can still get a great view from the pool for the thundering fireworks the best location is right on the beach directly behind the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Note, that if you have some young keiki (kids) you may want to walk down away from the Hilton towards Diamond Head, because the thundering fireworks are launched from the beach directly behind the lagoon at the Hilton. So, if anyone in your party still has sensitive ear drums you may want to back away from the crowds. Although, if you want to feel the pulse of the fireworks and hear each glorious explosion you may then want to congregate with the crowds.
Below is a schedule of the activities described above. For any questions or for other activities that go on at the Hilton Hawaiian Village please consult their web site.

6:15 p.m. (October to March)

Whatever it may be the penthouse units in every building seem to attract a fair amount of attention. Typically they tend to be the most expensive units in a building so from building to building you can hear owners occassionaly chatting about how much the penthouse unit is going for or how much the penthouse unit just sold for.
My blog here today serves two purposes. One, I thought my readers might like to take a look at all the units currently available for sale in the Honolulu neighborhoods of Waikiki, Kakaako, and Ala Moana. Second, there is a distinguished pool of buyers who exclusively tend to buy only the penthouse units of buildings. So for you few my blog is here to serve. Oh, and if you would like to own an entire penthouse floor (the 35th to be exact) in the Waikiki Landmark they are all currently up for sale for the grand sum of $10,090,000.
Please follow the links to enjoy some of the finest properties that Honolulu has to offer (This link has been updated recently and is valid through 8/25/08).
If you are looking for more information or need assistance purchasing or selling a piece of property on the Island of Oahu please give me a call, I would be happy to help.

Well, if you have not heard yet, the Ilikai is going through a little bit of a transitionary struggle. Before purchasing in the Ilikai you may want to read up on www.Ilikaiowners.com. The Ilikai has been a focal point of Waikiki for decades, and now it's sad to see that the building is falling into conditions that would make any owner more than a little irate.
I happened to walk through the Ilikai on behalf of some clients a short time back and noticed that a good majority of the shops on the main floor have been vacated and shut down. I walked through the lobby this past weekend and was shocked when I saw even more shops shut down. On top of that I read the parking is now going up to $225 per month. These are just a sample of the issues at the Ilikai right now.
There are currently 47 properties for sale in the Ilikai and of that 47 there are two that are in escrow. On top of that From Jan. 1, 2008 to the present of May 13, 2008 there have been only an anemic 8 sales in the building this year.
I've included some links of those properties for sale and sold in the Ilikai. They will be good for 30 days. After that they will expire and no longer work. If you read this blog more than 30 days after I post it please feel free to email me and let me know. I will send you an updated link. The link below has been updated since this blog was done (the link is good until 8/25/08).
If you are thinking of purchasing in the Ilikai you may want to do a little more investigating before going forward. I have don't know how long you'll have to wait for the Ilikai to turn around, but if it is still something you are looking to purchase I would like the opportunity to be your agent. If you would like to look at any other property on Oahu I would be able to help you as well.
