During this winter break I haven't been scheduled to work as much, which is cool because I've been making good use of my free time. Here's what we do in Hawaii:

Compadres -- Taco Tuesday. My ex got me hooked on this. It's $1 Tacos and $2 Coronas and Margaritas all night. We usually go there at 4 because by 5 it gets CROWDED and people usually don't have any luck getting a table.

Hard Rock Cafe -- every Wednesday night, one of of the major local surfing labels, *SPLIT*, sponsors *SPLIT* night, and the gates of hottie heaven open and the place is FLOODING with surfers! Again, the drink specials include cheap Coronas. Every once in a while HRC's also the location for a lot of the surfing parties. Last week, the Triple Crown just ended so that place was PACKED! It helps that we know one of the buyers for Town and Country...so me and the gals are always on the VIP list. Not that I'm trying to be big headed or anything...but it's a good feeling not having to wait in line or pay to get in.

Oceans -- Thursday night. Oceans is usually a 23+ club, but on Thursday nights (and some special events) it's 21+. This is by far the meatiest meat market club there is, IMO. Coronas again are always on special! I've been brave enough to get up on the bar counter and dance (it's tradition to do it at least once if you go). Some of the guys are raunchy as hell because they're over there bringing out dollar bills when the girls go up...so I've always known NOT to wear a skirt. The lines are always long for this place.

Mai Tai Bar and Dave and Busters -- Friday night. I'm sure some of you are familiar with D&B since it is a national chain and all. D&B just opened in Hawaii last Halloween and I've been hooked to that place since I visited D&B for the first time in Irvine. That Cash Roulette game is addicting, and I don't know how many tickets I've won just playing that game. It's pretty sad when we'll go up to the bar and the bartenders already know what we want to drink.

The Mai Tai Bar is a bar that's right in the middle of Ala Moana Shopping Center. If any of you have ever been to Hawaii, I'm sure you know of Ala Moana. It's pretty busy especially on Friday nights when they have Pau Hana Happy Hour from 4-11 (awesome hours, huh?). We usually go because our friends play in a band there every once in a while.

Pipeline Cafe -- Saturday night. Another 21+ club. I prefer this place over Oceans because of the larger dance floor. CORONAS ARE NOT ON SPECIAL HERE...GRRR... Still, loads of hotties frequent here on Saturdays. Friday nights at Pipeline are Soljah Nights where they play reggae music...but we try not to go here on Fridays because of an unfortunate incident with a fraternity brother. Long story. Tuesday nights at Pipeline are Dollar Drink nights, so it gets packed then, too.

Brew Moon -- Sunday night. Brew moon is a restaurant/brewery that has a local touch to it. They convert it to a club at night and there's a theme every night after 9. Sunday nights are hip-hop nights, and I think Sunday's the best day to go.

**Keep in mind that even if I've listed something to do for every day of the week...it's very rare that we do all of this, with the exception of Wednesday and Friday nights.

What's too bad is that these places are all 21+ places, and if you're not of age here, there's not too many things you can do. I remember not being of age and there were lots of stuff to do and places to go to...but I've noticed that 18+ clubs and hangouts are getting more and more scarce.
