One may say that this was the biggest tourist attraction. There were more visitors from the far east of Asia; the streets were full of tourists, pedestrians on the beach walkways and hotel front streets. Street parking was premium around the hotels, but it was not impossible to find parking space. Hotels may require valley parking everyday. Many rented vehicles on a daily basis to solve parking problem overnight, there are many rentals around in any blocks, from scooters to cars.

Waikiki beaches were towering with hotels in miles, yet few people went into the water or even on the beach comparing to southern California, even though the water was warm. The streets were clean, and in order even with heavy traffic. The sky line was filled with towering hotels, yet not quite hustle like a metropolitan on main land. The air was breezy, and scatter showers came often without any warning, or as expected. The pace slowed down much more on the island, even at Waikiki beaches.
