I am heading out to Honolulu for a week. I want to tour as much of Pearl Harbor and WWII historical sites as possible. What/where should I see/go to 'make the most of it?'

The local tourista stuff not mentioned is Diamondhead locally.. I highly recommend hopping the bus for a 50 minute ride out to the Polynesian Cultural Center. You'll learn a lot and appreciate a lot. BYU runs it and the various cultures are students from all over the Pacific and elders cap it off. Still chuckle over the Maoris including an Irish redhead student who was determined to do the Haka correctly. He gave a full measure to the delight of the crowd and Maoris. Admission supports the BYU campus there. Also take in a luau. Most of them are "canned", i.e. the pork is prepared prior, foiled, and put in the pit for finishing. Yes it is for the tourists, but you get an idea. Finally, experiment with drinks with umbrellas in them. That and some Longboard brewskis.

My wife and I really enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center ourselves! We really want to go back to the Center again. Such a great experience!

The Chiefs tour is well worth it on the Missouri.
