yes, it is the same. where in Hawaii? I lived in Honolulu for a couple of years. if u need any info, do not hesitate to ask me. if you want to save money, i can give u the phone number of a place I used to live. it is much cheaper than hotels but you have to call and book ahead, sometimes 6 months ahead. at that time, i lived on the 12th (top) floor of the building and i can see Diamond Head. Pearl Harbor Museum is free as almost all of the beaches. the things we liked do then is drive around the island 2 o'clock in the morning.
