Good thread,

I also want to know that,because i want to go to Hawaii.
I know that you can go to the house of Elvis and to the International Centre,where Elvis performed the Aloha from Hawaii Special

The HIC Arena was demolished years ago, so you can't see where Elvis did Aloha ...

I found a book at Half-Price Books about $3 called The Field Guide to Elvis Shrines. It lists all Elvis places to go/see in every location that Elvis visited. Hawaii among them. It includes concert sites & movie locations. The author is Bill Yenne the publisher is Last Gasp of San Francisco.

Actually, I found the website for the arena. It is now called a different name, but it is still very operational. Here's a link to the site:http://www.blaisdellcenter.com/venues/index.html

Nope, it's still standing. It's now called the Neil Blaisdell centre:

Joanne: You might find this site of interest if you are planning a trip:

http://www.elvisinhawaii.com

"The newest addition to this site is of special interest to Elvis-fans planning a trip to Hawaii. Here you find all the information you need to find the movie-locations, the former Honolulu International Convention Center (site of the Aloha from Hawaii show) and many other Elvis-related spots on the islands of Oahu and Kauai. Even for those who are not so fortunate to visit the island there is a lot to enjoy in this section, for you can find many photos shot on location. So you be able to "visit" these locations without ever leaving your home, or for those browsing during working-hours; your office."

Dammit, I asked a friend of mine who went there years ago to get a photo of it for me, and someone told her it had been knocked down.

Now I'll have to have her killed. Most inconvenient!
