May

Hi Venice. Only 4 more days for us and we'll be in paradise! See you all there!

venice

Yes May, 4 more days.
Yipppppppeeeeeee!

May

Oh believe me, I eat, sleep, drink Hawaii at this point!!! Have you checked the weather for this weekend, Venice? Weather.com likes to tease me with those "showers" indications. Does Anyone have a more accurate forecast?

Sarah

May I find that weather cast while you are actually in Hawaii are not all that accurate at least for the N.S just resign yourself to that fact that it will be beautiful rain or shine. Sounds weird but there are bennys to rain the bright sun can be wearing. Rain cools this down brings out the rainbows and just plain smells nice. Have to tell you the bedroom I had last year was surrounded by windows and it was wonderful to sleep there during the rain, you know the sound. On an Hawaiian Island the rains are all like the summer rains. The greens are greener during and after.

But I enjoy hiking in the rain, so quiet. Scotland would not be Scotland without this is the case for the N.S Kauai also. Somehow this gets left out of advertising though.

May

That sounds nice while I'm sleeping but we're beach people and it would be nice to enjoy some warm weather and sun. But you're right, either way, it'll be beautiful.

venice

I haven't checked out the weather May.
But since you mentioned it, I will.
Oooppppsss not good, "partly cloudy and scattered showers" in Oahu for the whole week that Iam there!I have to pack an umbrella then.(Hope the forecast is not true).

214 days until a blissful 30 days on the Big Island and northshore of Oahu with hubby and kiddies in tow.

Maybe sooner if we can find a screaming deal on Hawaiian and can use the $200 off coupons they gave us when our January flight to Kauai was delayed 8 hours because the PLANE BROKE DOWN. (Those were the exact words they used.)

The big Dec/Jan trip is thanks to Hawaiian frequent flyer miles. Hawaii addicts should consider a Hawaiian Airlines Mastercard. Hawaiian will allow you to link up to 3 ff accounts. This in combo with credit card miles gives us ~3 free tickets every other year. Pretty good deal.

Diane

Leaving in fifteen minutes!!!! Will post a trip report when I get back. Thanks for everyone's help.

May

3 more days Venice!!! =)

I see the only weather threat would be Saturday. The rest of the week should only be scattered showers around mountain areas. I hope it'll be dry and sunny the whole time I'm there. I will be in Maui for 3 nights as well. What about you?

jen

8 more days! we'll be in maui for 4 days. unfortunately we had to cut off one day of our prepaid trip because of flight changes. we're disappointed about the loss of one day, but how bummed can you be when you're looking forward to 4 days of those warm tropical breezes and cold tropical drinks! we've got all our restaurant reservations, dive trips and tee times booked. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

venice

Hi May,
Yes, 3 more days till paradise.I can't wait! I already started packing last night and went over my list of what to bring. I will only be in Oahu.(8days).Maybe next time I'll do an island hopping. Iam coming from SFO, what about you?

May

Hi Venice, we've also made a to-do/to-bring list. Didn't start packing yet since I didn't have the time but I guess I will have to start tonight. I'm assuming you're a girl too from your post name and if I'm correct, you know how us girls are. We tend to overpack. I don't want to start packing too soon and end up putting too many things I won't need. =)

We're also staying for 8 days but on 2 islands. Oahu and Maui. I'm coming from NYC and we have a connecting flight in Missouri. I'm not looking forward to the 12 hour flight but I know it'll be worth it. Even my usual unenthusiastic is counting down the hours now. Who are you going with?

May

By the way Venice, thought I'd brighten up your day a little. They're saying that it will only be AM showers and isloated showers around windward/mountain areas for Saturday now. For the rest of the week, it looks pretty promising. Only partly cloudy and 85 degrees. I think my 'stop-the-rain' dance I did last night worked! LoL.

Sarah

Dying for Diane to log on and tell us where she is. Dam technology wish it would catch up with people in transit.

86 mo days

venice

Iam going with my husband,May.
It's a sort of delayed honeymoon trip.
We got married last january but weren't able to take some time-off so we're taking it this month. I tried not to pack a lot so I will have room left for souvenirs.Btw, thanks for the "stop the rain" dance.Yeah, your news about the weather did brighten up my day. Thanks again. Back to work now....hmmmpp!!It's hard to concentrate at work now coz my mind is already at the beach drinking mai tais, watching the tide........Oh well I need to snap out of this before I get in trouble with my boss. Anyway, 3 more days........

May

Venice, my usual unenthusiastic boyfriend just called me up at work to say that there's only 48 hours to go!!! I know you're as excited as I am. A belated congrats on your wedding and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful and romantic postponed honeymoon.

I don't know if it's just me or is this week just dragging on. I still haven't packed yet and I'm keeping my eye on the weather. I will keep you posted on how that goes. Meanwhile, I also have to get back to work and stop daydreaming.

Where are you saying in Oahu?
