Hawaii

We're going to Hawaii in a few weeks! This trip has been planned for about 9 months now. I've been so worried about finances and my employment that we've been thinking about canceling. Well, since our airfare was purchased with points on our Visa, it was too complicated to rebook or go somewhere else for less time. We decided to go and make it our last real last big trip for a long time. I'm working on the hotel trying to reduce our rates or book part-time at a less expensive hotel. Time is drawing near. Of course, I only have 1 pair of shorts and no comfortable sandals so I'll spend money on that too. Really worried...but looking forward to trying to relax and get away for 8 DAYS!!! :D

Wow--have a blast!
Everybody needs a vacation!
:cheer:
Stacy, how can you only have one pair of shorts??? 8O

LOL - have a wonderful time. I was there on a botanical trip in college, which was a very long time ago. I still have wonderful memories and a great mental picture of all the fun things we did while there. :D
oh my gosh; HAVE FUN YOU TWO!!!!!

if you are a coffee fan, you HAVE to try the "Lion Brand Kona"; its amazing!!!
How exciting!! Enjoy and take lots of pictures.
It's the best time of year to find shorts on clearance racks. :wink:
Aloha and have fun!!!!!

I agree that coffee is GREAT. A friend went and brought some back!! YUM Have fun on your vacation. Its a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Forget the coffee!!! Kona Brewing Co. has an excellent lager called Longboard :D
Have a great time....Kathy
what island are you going to???

abc stores carry all the coffee brands....plus tons of other junk....think of it as a glorified 7-11.....

i usually bring long sleeve t-shirts, shorts, comfy skirts, tennis shoes, sandals and 1 pair of heels...

the hotels and resturants are usually a/ced and chilly....nights are cool too...during the day, you should be wearing nothing but your bathing suit!

Its all I drink, since a friend that lives in Hawaii brought me some a couple of years ago, I've had to mail order the stuff to stay "in stock"!!!!
We're going to the Big Island for the entire trip. Right now we are booked for 7n nights at Prince Hotel's Hapuna Beach Resort. I'm looking at the Outrigger Keahou Beach Resort for the first few nights as it's less expensive. Has anyone stayed there?

This year I went through my entire shorts drawer. I didn't realize until the midle of the summer that all but one pair of shorts were too tight in the waist or the hips :D My tush kind of shifted down and out this past year from where it was before. I hate shopping because nothing ever fits right so I didn't bother looking for anything. Well, now I have nothing...I plan to go to Kohl's or Sports Authority to look for athletic shorts. I LOVE ELASTIC WAISTS! How old am I, right?
Have a fun time!
In Kona, be sure to take Capt Bean's "Booze" Cruise for dinner. All food and entertainment is included as well as the bottomless barrel of mai tais. Price is not bad.
If you can, stop by the Wiakaloa Resort just to look around. Quite an adult fantesyland.
Absolute must-see! Volcano National Park. If you have a rental car you can drive up to the visitors' center and look into the crater. Awesome! Last I heard, lava was still flowing all the way from the crater to the ocean, more than 15 miles away. Many motor coach tours are offered if no car.
Stacy, also try Goodwill and resale stores. You can get decent stuff for pennies. And don't forget Ebay!
Stacy, have a wonderful time!!! I miss you guys...maybe you could stop here on the way back! :wink:
Ok, I'm green with envy!!! I want to come!! The one and only time I went it rained all but one day.

Just to let you know....I do fit in luggage :lol:
Enjoy your trip :!: :!:
Have fun!! 8)
