It's impossible for any of us to give you "suggestions" without at least some idea of where you'll be going and what your hobbies and interests are.
That would be a start on getting any kind of feedback, k?

Bring a raincoat and have a lovely time. Lucky you!

Bring a raincoat

You live in France, and apparently word hasn't gotten to you yet that we're having a drought year in Hawai`i. Rainfall for the year to date is less than 20% of normal.
Forget about bringing a raincoat. Bring sunscreen!

It sounds like you might have been too tired and too excited to give us details What island(s)? And as others pointed out, if you can tell us a bit about your interests we can give you better tips...

Aloha,

Re: Visiting in October

Ya sorry about that. its not that i was tired but rather had a couple of drinks. I wanted to go to the islands for so long now but kept making excuses on why i couldnt go, i finally just said do it and well now i am. Being that i am on a budget i can only stay in one island. i am flying to oahu on october 17th around 3pm. I have made reservations for several nights at a hostel in waikiki. (hey its only $28 a night). after that i am not sure really. I am going by myself so i get to see everything that i want too. I love the ocean and want to spend as much time there as possible. i dont know if anyone has ever visited the gulf here in texas but your not missing anything. i would love to see the whole island. i will be staying there for 9 days and i feel like that is not enough time at all. i want to see every waterfall, cove, beach! Hopefully that helps some. I just want to see and feel hawaii, so thats why i am coming. hope to see yall there!

Re: Visiting in October

please dont limit yourself to Waikiki. you can stay at a hostel on the north shore as well, plantation village (or plantation island) can't remember the complete name. They pick you up from Waikiki or airport free. Right across from a beach and a block and a half away from an incredibly beautiful beach.

if you can snag a cheap airfare to hilo, stay at arnotts lodge. again, right on the water (half a block or so) , varying accoms and avery beautiful environment. worlds away from a waikiki.

Re: Visiting in October

Ya i just booked 4 nights at the hostel in northshore from sunday to friday when i leave. What is there to do at night thats fun but does not envolve alot of money? I love going out and meeting people, thats why i like to travel alone so i have to meet people. but where is a place i can go to at night without spending alot of money? I wouldnt mind just hanging out at a local place drinking beer either. if anybody has any suggestions please let me know. I have read alot about hawaii and where to go, where not to go. I read that if your not carefull in northshore at night, you can find yourself in a tight spot. I dont want to say i am not worried about because i feel like i am very respectful to people and where they live, but i also know that doesnt matter to some. Thanks again for any suggestions!
