If You're Ever In Oahu, Hawaii...
By Jill Weinlein
On the corner of Royal Hawaiian and Kalakaua Avenues is a two-story, 65,000-gallon fish aquarium at the DFS Galleria. Divers can be seen cleaning the inside of the tank and feeding the colorful tropical fish. Walk into the store Beyond the Reef and up the stairs into the tube. Stingrays rest on the clear tube allowing a close-up view of their smiling faces and under bellies. On the second floor, the bat rays and sharks swim with brightly-colored butterfly fish as they nibble on algae. Afterward, create your own e-mail postcards and send them free to anyone in the world. Find out more by visiting www.DFSGALLERIA.com. 
Best Store for Souvenirs
You see them everywhere: the ABC stores. Often there are two in one block. Here you can buy those brightly-colored rafts and rings that people are floating on in pools and in the water around Waikiki Beach. You'll find specialty coffees, snacks, toiletries, sandals and hats at fair prices. Find out more by visiting www.ABCSTORES.com.
