Hula hula
Hi all,
I'm going to Honolulu, first week of May! Since I don't do a lot of travelling (and this will be my *very* first time flying), I'm pretty darned excited Of course, the most important questions are - who's local and where are the bead shops? g I'll be looking for places near the hotel due to limited mobility (the bf isn't going to rent a car). Maybe someone could write to me directly ) to get the hotel address and exchange information? Cheers, Carla (getting in an island frame of mind) |

Hi Carla,
while I'm in Hawaii I'm on the other end of the state (so to say), and I don't know much about where things are in Honolulu. However, there is a reasonably good bus system on Oahu and even without a car you can still get around, i.e. don't have to stay close to the hotel all the time. Check in on soc.culture.hawaii (hoping I'm not the only beady person there), that group is usually pretty helpful, even if we get into quabbles about local things. I don't know where you are staying and how far you consider walking distance, but at least Ala Moana (shopping center) is fairly close to Waikiki (assuming that's where you're staying). And the "International Marketplace" may be worth a walk-through, though it is pretty touristy. Enjoy your vacation, and I hope that you get better weather than we have had lately. And, I always recommend to people to go and see the aquarium in spite of that I haven't been there myself since our now high school senior was a toddler.

this will be my *very* first time flying
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For the flight, take: 1) GOOD snacks. 2) Purell handcleaner. 3) Moisturizing mist (like Evian or Burt's Bees) for your face, and moisturizer. 4) Magazines for frivolous reading. 5) Something with headphones/earplugs so the crap-ass sitting next to you doesn't try to convert you to their religion. |

I know a great couple of bead shops on Maui, but you won't be there. Lots of vintage.

I'll be looking for places near the hotel due to
limited mobility (the bf isn't going to rent a car). ````````````````````` THREE IDEAS: 1) Public transportation. 2) *You* rent a car. 3) Call Magnum P.I. for a ride. |

Thenk yew! Cheers, Carla |
