Re: Getting to the 2008 Honolulu Regionals doesn't require breaking the bank

ATA right now looks good. If your finding a hotel in waikiki, I would not walk to and from the University of Hawaii. That's pretty far before and after a FIRST event daily. If you can get a rental car, even 1 is better than none, where you can shuttle your team.
I really wouldn't worry about nearby restaurants, if you have a car. If you dont, then waikiki has their share of fast foods and eateries. Personally, I wouldn't eat in Waikiki, since its a tourist trap and everything is very expensive.
In other words, get a car/van if your teams can afford it. Plus, you can see the island during your free time.
Even our team is planning to stay in a hotel in waikiki during the event since our school is at least 1 - 1 1/2 hours away from event (depending on traffic) and dont want to miss the team socials at night.
Feel free to ask us more questions if any of you have them.
