FYI, I asked my youngest brother, Peter Shanahan, to give a list of his favorite experiences as a science person who had been to Hawaii recently (he and his wife Jen visited me this last winter).  He's a physicist at Fermi Labs in the Chicago area, hence his nerd comment.

Hi Mike,

    My list might skew a bit nerd, but that might be OK for the
conference?  There's something to the order below, but not too
much.

    - A day at the beach at Waikiki, followed by watching the sunset while drinking
      tropical drinks and listening to Hawaiian music.
    - The Bishop Museum.  
    - Hanauma Bay.
    - The county beach across from your old place in Kailua.  (This is Kalama Beach Park, which is contiguous with Kailua Beach park - both get awards for being one of the world's top beaches). 

    - Drive up the Pali Highway, stopping at the Pali cliffs. 
    - Volcano National Park (Big Island)
    - Stars at the summit of Haleakala (the highest point on Maui).  That was 10 years ago, but 
      I remember it as being much more impressive than the visitors center 
      at Mauna Kea. 
          (these last two rank much higher if traveling off Oahu is an easy option)
    - The Arizona Memorial
    - Jen says "Sea Turtles"
