And I screwed up with the Roman numerals---that would be King Kamehameha I, not "III." Stuttered.
Got curious---there are four statues of King Kamehameha I , one in Washington D.C.!

If you're in Honolulu on Kamehameha Day in June be sure to stop by the statue and see it draped in what seems to be miles of gorgeous lei. Very pretty.

Not there until July unfortunately but talking of leis - I'm super disappointed that there won't be someone on the tarmac ready to shower me with flowers but I hear I can arrange this for once I am through security. Question - will I be the only one and will I look like a total nutcase?

Go for it, it's fun. A lot of people get them as a part of their resort package, so you definitely will not be alone. Matter of fact, if you haven't pre-arranged anything, there are convenient lei stands for those last minute impulses.
