5wolfcubs Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 A LOST reunion? Really, I have no idea! My dh & dds are watching the series, and since it was filmed in Hawaii, I thought of that first! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runmiarun Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I think the high tourist season is in full swing. Or at least one of their higher seasons. I think they have 2 high seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Tourist season includes tons of conferences, those tend to fill the hotels. Oahu's economy starts to sweat when their hotel occupancy rate drops below 80%. Christmas and spring break time are the busiest times of year. See if you can find an open B&B in Kailua.

jplain Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It is probably a big tourist week, as many CA schools have February vacation next week. I'm sure the islands will be packed with families. My mom works at a school in CA, and my parents will be heading there for their first-ever visit to HI. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntgoodwin Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Nothing in particular that I am aware of. APEC was in November, I think. But right now, there isn't anything I know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know a few families that left yesterday--easier to extend the four day holiday to a week. I think HI is always busy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang!Zoom! Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ah, there were 7 aircraft carriers come in from overseas, so..there were 7 thousand servicemen there along with their families, there were 2 conventions, a marathon and a thousand stranded Aussies there, and one competition up on the North Shore, and some big deal movie filming going on..hence no hotel rooms. Even Maui & the Big Island were packed to the hilt. Once we got in, we went to AAA and it took the agent about four hours to find one open room for one night, (over at the Disney in Kolina) and then we stayed in town for the remaining. I really thought we were going to be sleeping in the car. The Disney complex was pretty amazing to say the least, they have the largest collection of contemporary Hawaiian Art in the world there. The floor of the Aulani was incredible. The masonry work there is a pattern of the constellations above the islands. Absolutely stunning. I learned some new photography tricks while I was goofin off out there, can't wait to develop them. It'll take me a few weeks to get it all done.
