Waikiki Travel Tips

Travel Tips:

Classroom Attire: Your preference, there is no dress code.  However, we do recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater since sometimes the conference room is cold.

Transportation:  Parking at the hotel is expensive and the airport is not very far.  Uber drivers / taxis are readily available and the hotel is in a great location with easy access to lots of activities. Furthermore, there is an excellent bus system.  However, you may want to rent a car if you are planning day trips.  There is a car rental located at the hotel - so you could rent a car for just the day and not have to pay the $50 a day parking fee.
