aloha kai, sooooo, is it a go?

yes yes yes...i got the time off...
we will arrive on oahu on tuesday afternoon and i have to work at 8 am
back on maui...
we are not sure if we are staying with family or getting a hotel room..

i am looking forward to the gtg...what shall we bring from maui??

kai, great news, is "we" coming to the gtg?

bring whatever you want, but be sure to bring your appetite.

if you are staying at a hotel, and if you are not picky, i think the pagoda is a good choice. you can walk to seoul garden, or we can pick you all up on the way. just let me know.

Just wanted to check in to get a headcount to see how we are doing:
peter and linda
isis and russ + their two friends
ken and jackie
melissa
carol
kai + 1 (?)

tentative:
lcuy
chepar
mari

<u>Total as of 6/24</u>
12 attendees

lucy, kai+guest, yes, two friends, no. others hopefully, especially other kamaaina fodorites. will make res. for 14.

kuran...the &quot;we&quot; is my partner
makamae...a hawaiian studies teacher...
her family lives in eva heights...
i have stayed at the pagoda and will
check availability for a few days
(we might camp on the north shore the other days)

looking forward to meeting everyone

what should we bring besides an appetite??

divediva, you staying at the Pagoda? I live near there. We can walk over together or I can drive us.

my employer put me up at the maile skycourt...cheapest room they have (hopefully, i can get a travel agent upgrade)...
we arrive on wed 8 am and are playing tourists on oahu...
even doing an historic tour by segway...

is this walking distance from our hotel to dinner? i need to get a waikiki map

melissa and kai, since i am familiar with lower manoa, we can pick up melissa, and pick you and makamae up on lower kahala. lol.

if that is convenient to all, just let me know.

maybe we can start early for an attitude adjustment period at longhis and view the sun as it sets on the waianae coast.

Longhi's!!! kuranosuke's personal VIP lounge!!



I can actually walk over but may need a ride back.

ok, great. we will see all you guys over there.

I have been told that I've needed an attitude adjustment once or twice before so I guess I qualify.

Let me know when the festivities begin!

Aloha!

So are most of you going for attitude adjustments before having dinner???
Carol

Before....during....after....
Well, maybe not &quot;after.&quot; Since we are next to Femme Nu and those other famous Honolulu hangouts.

well, i think a good start time at longhis is at 5pm. now, you may think that wow! one whole hour before dinner, too much time to get into trouble, but this place will have other patrons there for happy hour, so it may be crowded. you might be lucky to get two drinks before having to leave for dinner at sg.

btw, melissa tends to exaggerate. i'm just an occasional visitor at longhis. in fact, the last time i was there is when i met kal and his lovely wife.

Oh, Russ and I can't make the Longhi's Happy Hour.

Carol, are you planning to go to the Longhi's Happy Hour? Longhi's is at Ala Moana Shopping Center.

I'll take the ride with you, Isis, rather than the attitude adjustment. Thanks! (my attitude is ALWAYS HAPPY)
Carol

hee hee. I think that means I need an attitude adjustment.


O

Sounds good!

kurano:

I'll see you at 5.....I'll try to leave the attitude at home
