Thanks for all the replies!

I'll be there in early March; really looking forward to the trip. My friend, who grew up in Hawaii, agrees with Richard - that these are definitely on the "to do" list. Thanks!

Flat, I found two references to Hawaiian ice, one of them is Meth, the other is shaved ice. Can you elaborate?

I guess I'll need to try poi; hopefully I can find a luau to experience it in all it's wonderful glory.
