icee, yes Sand Bar, September 2002:)

Oh, now I see, pspercy..It amazes me how dense I can be sometimes, to think I know so much...

Topping for those who may have missed this. Plus, I have to dream of Hawaii, since it is 38 degrees this morning here in the sunny south.:d

Bringing this puppy up to the top. For those of you who are not yet committed, <b>just show up!!!</b>

We'll be at the Aston Islander, by the pool area, from 5-7pm. I have it on good authority that there'll be plenty of &quot;whine.&quot;

By the way, exactly where is the Islander, since this will be our first full day on Kauai, and we will be coming from the West? What landmarks do I look out for?

24 days and a wake up. ((r)) ((r)) ((b))

Look for the large Coconut Marketplace shopping center in Kapa`a, makai (ocean side) of the highway. Pull in the main driveway (between the shopping center, and the Best Western Plantation Hale condo buildings.

Behind the shopping center -- toward the right side -- follow the road until you see the construction stuff fronting the Islander. Here's an aerial view of the property, including the pool area:

Bring pupus! Bring whines! 8-)

Do you think Kal and the Mrs. will surprise us for the GTG? Or, do you just think we will have unlimited access to his bar tab??????

See y'all on the 27th! Can't wait. I think we all need to post a photo so we will know who we are looking for!

You can find me on this thread: http://www.pbase.com/tpatricco/njny_fodorite_gtg_2004

Thanks for the directions, AuntieM.

Look for the &quot;whine&quot; and &quot;pupus&quot; by the pool.((b))

Just got the word from a very reliable source that tells me the Sand Bar at the Aston Islander on the Beach will be undergoing renovations at the time we are supposed to GTG. So,

We're going to move the GTG to the Pono Kai Resort 5-7pm on the 27th of May (that's where the ice's are staying). They are hosting. Yippee!!! Here are the directions from the Airport:

Take Highway 51 (Kapule Hwy) north for about 1.3 miles. Continue on Highway 56 (Kuhio Hwy) for about 5 miles to the resort.

We just might end up after the GTG having some BBQ and a couple of brews at Scotty's.

Confirmed: Budman, iceeu2, and AuntieM.

blue kite, Nat04, kblonkowski and others on Kauai on May 27th?? ((b))

ttt. ((b))

Just called Aston, the renovation will complete by end of May. Then please count me in at pono kai!

So does that mean the Sandbar will be open? Blue kite, please email me at [email protected] and I will give you my credentials!!8-)

I called and the Sand Bar will be closed from 16 May to 16 June, but the pool will be open.

The GTG is &quot;a go&quot; at Pono Kai Resort 5-7pm on the 27th of May. We'll make our own entertainment.

Anybody else? ((b))

See you at the Pono Kai.

:`(:`(:`(:'(:'(:'(

((U))
We just booked our Monterey to Pismo trip so no suprises on Kauai from us.....or <i>did weeeeeeeee</i>???? :-&quot;

<b>MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA</b> evil laff ((6))

Budman, be sure to phone me before you purchase wine glasses. There may be some in the condo.

And, we will get some cheese and fruit to go with the &quot;whine&quot;. No need for you all to bring anything except what you may want to drink.

Hot damn....it's only 5 more days until we leave the sunny south for paradise...((r))

Anyone else joining us?

i2,

Only 5 days? How exciting!

Expect an e-mail from me.

Got it Billy!

Those of you who have not responded are going to miss seeing a group of fun people.

Since this thread has gotten so long and hard to follow, I am going to post a new one here in a bit.

Since many hotel/condo properties have a &quot;no glass containers&quot; rule for their pool areas, I'll bring plastic drinkware...just in case.

Y'all come!

sad gyppie sad.........I am green with envy...you know that green, the color when you swim into HippieBeach(Tunnels) and then swim a little to the left...that color green.......wishing you grand fun times...unless Kal and the Mrs. show up, then I will be even greener with envy...you know the color if you take the left at the monkey tree to Polihale and then swim right....damn life's not fair. At least I have lonely research in August!!!!!!! Good times everyone!!!!

AuntieM, that'll be great if you could bring the plastic drink cups. I'm bringing some whine (3-4 bottles), water, and Shrimp Station (Thai Garlic and/or Coconut).

We'll probably explore Waimea Canyon our first day then meander our way around to Kapaa, stopping by the Shrimp Station on our way out of the Canyon. ((b))
