Hawaii Travel Vacations

I’m planning on moving to Hawaii’s Big Island in the next year or two from New York. Would I have to have it sent by sea or air, and which companies provide a service like that?

It is a three-staged shipment, although there are car transport companies that will handle it all for you.

You can save about $1,000 or more if you can drive the car to the West Coast yourself. Otherwise, you can use overland truck transport that will put your car on an auto trailer and get your car to one of two west coast ports as defined below.

From Long Beach near Los Angeles, and from Oakland near San Francisco, Matson Shipping Line is the major shipping company to Hawaii. Your car will be put in a queue of cars and may or may not make the next ship to Honolulu depending on how full it is and how many cars in front of you waiting for shipment. You will need to ship to Honolulu. Cost is $1,072.

Make sure to empty your car of everything. I thought I could keep some tools and things in the locked glove compartment…they were gone upon arrival.

From Honolulu, I believe Matson will transfer the vehicle for you to an interisland transport vessel, but cost is not listed. Young Brothers, a local interisland shipping company charges about $300 depending on weight.

I just bought the two week package for a fun-filled vacation to the big Island. What is included in this package? Do you have any experience with the tours and such ?

Stop whining.

Also, what would you say are the huge differences between the supernatural of the mainland and Hawaii?
What are the big rules you would recommend to follow in regards to dealing with spirits in Hawaii?
Thanks!

The biggest rule is respect. You should always show respect to the supernatural and not taunt them. If your looking for a tour in Hawaii on ghost there is a great tour called Oahu ghost tours. http://www.oahughosttours.com/

If you have any question(s) these are the pros to ask for Hawaii ghosts.

I want to order something on eBay from the Philippines. If I live in Hawaii, how long do you think it will take to get here? It says that shipping normally takes 2-3 weeks depending where you live.

www.shipalliance.com 800-684-6359 can do it in 2 days including customs clearance.

My parents and I planning a trip to Hawaii this spring. I’ve heard that Diamond Head is a great place to go for great views. I’ve read some things about hikes and narrow passages. My parents are older and they can’t take heavy hikes or lots of stairs. Is this a place we should plan on bypassing?

The climb to the top of the summit is over 760 feet high and can be very challenging for the elderly or disabled individuals. There are also over 170 steps that your parents will be required to climb. You can visit the Diamond Head information and facts page at http://www.sharinghawaii.com/attractions/oahu-land-activities/diamond-head-state-monument for more info.

There are plenty of other scenic locations on Oahu that are more accessible to the elderly, such as the Pali lookout. They could also consider a easy hiking trip to Manoa Falls or Waimea Falls – learn more at http://www.sharinghawaii.com/attractions/oahu-water-attractions/oahu-waterfalls

What one facet of Japanese culture in Hawaii has had the greatest evolution over the past 100 years? How does it reflect the ever changing needs of the Japanese people in Hawaii? How will it continue to evolve in the future?

The Green Tea Leaf ceremony…

I’ll be staying with a friend, and I’ll be there for a week. I remember when others I know have gone on cruises and tropical vacations, there was SO MUCH STUFF they had to bring. I have a month to get ready. What do I need to bring with me?

Aloha, congratulations on your upcoming trip to HI!!!

It is lovely in HI this time of year so dont worry about warm clothes. Maybe one pair of long pants & a lite jacket are all you’ll need

Shorts/nicer short pants
t-shirt/tank-top maybe 1 nice top if you’re going out
swim suit – swim cover up
hat (trust me on this one, bring a hat to keep the sun off)
sunscreen, sunglasses
good walking shoes if you’re touring around
camera

you can buy flip-flops (slippers) cheaply when you get there – you can also get t-shirts & paraeo (swim coverup) cheaply when you get there – a hat too if you want – so there is not terribly much to pack. Nice that you’re staying with a friend who probably has a lot of the basics already (sunscreen, bandaids, aloe)

Have a great time, come to the message boards at www.hawaii.com and tell us all about it!

I’m possibly going and I want to make sure I get a good deal. So I’m asking here for people with experience traveling between florida and hawaii what the average price would be so I know what kind of prices I’m looking for. Thank you!!

Where in FL? Where in HI?

We fly from Orlando to Honalulu for around $650 to $750, but it really depends on when you want to go, around holidays prices are over a thousand dollars..
