About Hawaii

Aw :(

I'm sorry you didn't have a good experiences in Hawaii but at least you visited there before I did, since I've always wanted to go there for so long, and someday I shall will, maybe you can help me find a perfect place where I can take RR to as a honeymoon! :fingersx: ...

Not all of us had done some research when it comes to traveling other countries....but at least we learned by the experiences and know what to expect next time....

I do hope you will have a great time in Hawaii when you decide to travel there again someday! :)

The only memory I have of Hawaii was in the early 60's. I was a litle kid by then but that only memory I have is of diamond head at sunrise. And eating hamburger wrapped in cabbage.

And I got a high school mate who is one of the hotel designers there.

I have no problems with Miss. P. erupting about the high prices there, I'd do the same thing too. And the attitude of some deafies there are volcanic too and thats the big thing about Hawaii, Volcanoes, human or not.

that's called lau lau :)
 
$7,000 for just cruise along to hawaii. That's not good deal. You would have gone with Hawaii vacation instead! Plane between islands in hawaii is like around 80 bucks, hop and hop.. stay there for several days. $7,000 is considered as first class service.

It will get you on helipcotor to see Volcano close up, see 750,000 gallons of water tank to see 1,000 different kind of fishes, sharks, etc.. also even you could pay for 1 or 2 hours to dive in that tank and faces with sharks!, and much more going on land vacations! $7,000 will you get everything you gonna see on almost all islands except one island is forbbiden for anyone except royal and very wealth familes lived there. Blahh blahh. Plus fly off to Fiji to see one of the largest Reef in THE WORLD!! Only limit to 10 coupones..i recalled and it will treated you as Royal. It's one of huge sphere of Reef ever seen in your life. It's worth every penny to see it. For Fiji.. unforuntely, usually book about 6 months ahead of time.

Now.. it depends on cruise lines--Carnival, it will do few excusions... comparison to luxury cruises such as Sea Silver, it will have many excusions plus depth of tourist! also depend on which where to go, etc. Most of first time intend to go for cheap carvinal and sometimes find dispointment at result.. but they will get better idea to look for better taste of adventure... which they will not go for cheap cruises.. but go for little expensive cruise and with amaze adventures.

Want a advice? Find good travel agent first! If you did with bad one..probably they will give you misinformation. Again, find good travel agent, and you will have good times vacation instead feeling disapointment overall. ----------------- Find Travel agent with at least 3 years experiences, have license, etc. More likely.. if you see their "resume" what they do.. more likely they will give you a wonderful vacation package.. than Fresh travel agents will give you just mcdonald's foods and cheap seeing that you already knew or saw before!

Bon Voyage!

I don't know why Hawaii is so special. It seems like it has been overrated...

On Sunday, we were at the Hawaii airport, and got on the bus to
Hawaii Cruise, and Honolulu city looks like any other cities. And they do
got nice oceanview and beaches. Me, mom, and my nephew decided to go where to shore excusion on the Cruise, very expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then Monday, we went to Hawaii Canyon at Kauai and I saw some
few houses, but most of lands are used for sugar canes crop, flowers, cows, horses, and trees. I might as well stay in Mississippi cause we got a lot of crops and cows and horses too. I spent $133.33, just to see a canyon!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't worth that. I could have gone to Arizona to see that one for free!!!!

And then Tuesday, we went to see a waterfall and a river at Kauai, it was okay.... I saw where Steven Spielburg filmed his Jurassic Park at...
And also I saw prison there. I saw 2 people signed language on the bus,
I didn't speak to them.... I am too shy. The bus broke down, cause the driver can't fix the handicapped wheelchair lifter.... ahhh, wasted 30 minutes, and our ship might leave us if we come back late. Tennessee has a lot of waterfalls.... and that is free. I spent $123.96 on Scenic Hanalei Tour, ack!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then Wednesday, we went to see Volcanoes National Park Odyssey at Hilo, that was better... cause I never seen a crater before.... well I could have gone to Washington to see some of that, I don't know if Washington State has a crater.... but I spent $123.96!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I went to the "Mauna Loa" industry, where they make some Macadamias Nut cookies, candies, and salted nut, those are so good, my mom bought some of those. But anyway, while back on the ship, we saw a little lava flowed down in the ocean. It was cool.

On Thursday, we went to Wild Dolphin Eco Adventure at Kona, and spent $153.12, where the hell are the dolphins??? me, mom and my nephew were on top of the 2 story sailboat, and we sat there for hours, waiting for the dolphins, and none were at the sea... awww, I can't get my money back, all I got was a burnt sun tan, my mom got alittle heat stroke, and my nephew was the only one got sense to go on bottom floor under the shade.
After that I just went to the store "Hilo Hattie", and bought some stuff....

On Friday, we went to Pacific Paradise Luau at Maui, that was the best best time I ever had... I like the pig they cooked underground.... wow...
and the food taste good... I love it.... whatever the vegetable the Hawaiians fed us, made everyone on the ship pooped!!!!!!!!!!!!! And
that young man who was doing the hula dance was cute too, nice nipples he has. I spent $248.96 for that!!!! ACK!!!

On Saturdayyyyyyyyyyyyy, we went to Maui Ocean Center at Maui, it was a cool Aquarium.... Saw some sharks (tiger, hammerhead, stingray, lobsters and others). I saw 2 other deaf people with their 2 children, I didn't speak to them, cause I was shy....
And went to Iao Valley, saw some mountains (look like Tarzan jungle), and saw 3 Hawaiians men dive into the river under the bridge, that was nice... but my mom (63) had hard time climbing up those steps to get
to the top of the mountain, out of breath... but it was cool. I spent $216.68. Sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Sunday, we went to Pearl Harbor and it was okay, I spent $111.45, just to see that. We supposed to leave our luggages in the cruise hallway, so that the shippers could put our luggages in the storage, And anyway, after we left the we had to haul our luggages to the bus But anyway, my mom and nephew wanted to get on the old submarine, so I used my $20 bills, at first, it would be $23 cause
$10 for an adult, $3 for a child, but I saw $6 for senior citizen (age 65 and older).... well my mom is 63... and so I lied to the cashier...
"need tickets for one adult, one senior citizen, and one child" and that totalled $19... whew....
See duh, if they hadn't been sooooo scare of the terrorists, they would have allowed us to take our purses, bags, and stuff, then the cashiers would have check our ID's for age and stuff.... nah nah nah.
So we all went on the submarine, it was cool. My nephew loved that.
Anyway, I saw more deaf people, I think only 3 guys there...
whywhathow, that is so strange I ain't never seen that many deaf people
:confused: Nope, I didn't speak to them either, I just go mind my own business, too shy.
After that tour around Honolulu, and saw Chinatown, the bus driver mentioned something about the city has protitution, crimes, and some poor people, I saw some ghetto where poor people live. And the middle class houses were kinda old. I heard the houses were high priced....
and plus USA won't buy some sugars, Hawaiians have to shut down most
of the sugar industries, stop growing some sugar canes, and lay off many workers... cause many people used artificial sugars such as Equals and stuff with Dextrose.

And there are some Japanese, Polynesians , and other Hawaiians.
They were okay, except Japanese need to be a little bit more nice....
if they want more tourists... cause tourists are one of their important part of economy.

The Cruise went well, it was nice, but need more workers on the Cruise
though and need lifeguard (what will happen if someone drowned in their swimming pool?)

I had my first caviar on the ship, wow, I felt like I lost my virgin,,, it was my first time eatting caviar, ooooohhhh.

So the bill was %#&^#%@ $1,085.98, including $6 a minute call, $1.50 for a can of coke cola, sourvenirs and $7 for a cruise picture.

And the cruise room, food, air fare were $5,781.48.

I don't know how much money me and mom spent on sourvenirs at Hawaii shops.

And the totaled all together $7,000 for Hawaii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I don't know what is so great about Hawaii anyway!!!!!!!!!


Just some crops, cows, horses, old houses, beaches, few cute boys, cheap cars, trees trees trees, and flowers and stuff like that. I might as well go to Florida and get somebody to do the hula for me and I can order some macadamias cookies from Mauna Loa catalog, hmph.
