Default Re: Hawaii help needed

Hi! what a wonderful opportunity :) and at a great time!

Quote:
1. what about the interisland travel? is ferry best, or plane, or both?
The ferry only goes from Oahu to Maui and back at this time. It won't come to the Big Island for about a year they say and who knows when it will go to Kauai - there is a legal battle going on right now. The plane will be much quicker than the ferry, and the ferry will be a little cheaper at regular rates.

3. What about driving? Which islands would you DRIVE on and which would you take a TOUR of?
Hmm, I wouldn't take a tour of *anything* - but that's me. If you like tours than they may be the easiest way to go on most islands.

4. Which island is not worth visiting if you can see everything on other islands?
all the islands have something unique and wonderful to offer - is there anything in Hawaii that you REALLY want to see or do - I would use that criteria to whittle down your choices - with 5 days before I would only do 1 other island.

5. Where do you visit pineapple growers and purchase some to bring home? Macadamia nuts?
Farmer's markets are good for pinapples to eat while you are here. For macadamia nuts, I would go to Walmart - you can buy tons at the best available prices.

6. What is weather like in November?
beautiful :) The windward and northern shores can be fairly rainy in November but the Southern and leeward (western) shores are hot and sunny just about all the time.
