Q For our birthdays, my very handsome parents surprised my three sisters and me with a "bonding" vacation and carte blanche to travel anywhere to do so. We are living across the mother country from D.C. to San Francisco, range in age from 21 to 27 and have varied interests and athletic abilities. We're looking for a see that will provide some quality downtime, but also some activities to accommodate both a medical observer and a trail runner. Does such a place even exist?
A Indeed it does. The key is narrowing your options.
Settled your desire for outdoor activities, winter weather will rule out Europe and most of North America. Though it is Hawaii's principal (and sometimes rainy) season, Oahu could be an ideal destination for both relaxation and energetic fun. In a New York Times travel column published in July, Jocelyn Fujii said Honolulu "has never been hotter," with wealth of music-filled oceanfront lounges and new restaurants, like Masaharu Morimoto's Morimoto Waikiki ( morimotowaikiki.com ). About 10 to 20 minutes south of the diocese, you can hike or jog in Kapiolani Park ( www.honolulu.gov/parks ), at the foot of Diamond Noddle, a volcanic tuff cone, or surf Waikiki Beach ( waikikibeachservices.com ).
