Portable, up-to-date, and to-the-point, Frommer s Honolulu and Oahu day by day is all about maximizing the time you have to spend in Hawaii s liveliest slice of paradise. This itinerary-based book, written by long-time resident Jeanne Cooper, hits all of Oahu s highlights and its hidden gems from soaking up rays on world-famous Waikiki Beach to hiking through rainforests, visiting Pearl Harbor and catching the sunrise over Diamond Head.

Jeanne Cooper grew up listening to songs and stories of Hawaii from her mother, who lived in Oahu as a teen. She began writing about Hawaii and its diverse cultures in 2002 for the San Francisco Chronicle and SFGate.com, where her work still regularly appears. Her travel stories have also been published in numerous U.S. newspapers, magazines, and websites, including Localgetaways.com. She lives on Hawaii Island with her triathlete husband, a dog, and two cats.
