Well, pretty much all is booked right now. Flight tickets are bought (for main trip with United and inter-island with Hawaiian), car rentals are reserved (got great rates with Island Air discount codes), condos in Honolulu and Kihei are also reserved (I found some very nice places, both at walking distance from beaches, at great rates (about $1500 total for 15 nights). My wife and I can't wait for mid-July to come!!

You don't need a car if you're staying in Waikiki, except for a day to drive around the island. Waikiki is relatively small, compact, and the buses are convenient. They'll take you to Diamondhead, Hanauma Bay, the Iolani Palace and Pearl Harbor. Use a car for a day trip around the island, stopping at Lanikai for a swim and the north shore for sunset before returning to the city.

Please take the time to circle around Oahu..many only go see Waikikii Beach and Pearl Harbor and while those should be seen too, the North Shore is so beautiful. These islands are so small so you should have time to go on all the main roads (and of course take hikes where no car can go). On Maui do the same. Get out of the hotels and see the islands. Many seem to stay at resorts. The topography can change so much from one place to another..Although these are both "tourist" type activities the bike road down Haleakala is pretty cool and the road to Hana are not to be missed. AFter all you are tourists.
