Inside Activities

4.      Rent the indoor swimming pool of a gym or hotel near you, decorate the pool area in Hawaiian theme, and have a pool party.  Ask guests to wear their Hawaiian shirts.  Give leis to all guests as they arrive.  Serve Hawaiian themed foods and beverages.  Don’t forget the limbo stick!
