roughly $1400 Of course, that's today. If he makes us wait until September/October, we're probably going to need to auction off our first born......

Conventional wisdom would indicate that he'd do Tahiti after Hawaii.
Using that theory, I checked the prices of airline tickets from Honolulu to Tahiti.
$1838.00 round trip!
And THAT'S flying from Honolulu to L.A., and from L.A. to Papetee.
Jeez, Louise!
Maybe I'll just go fishing in Oshkosh instead.

By the time GW rolls around, I better be holding a "See you in Tahiti" sign!
Found an interesting story by Tom Moffatt online (I am assuming most of you know the Moffatt/Buffett Tahiti history)

A Bloody Mary and a Margarita: It wasn’t long after that I was with Jimmy Buffett in Bora Bora after his first Tahiti concert in Papeete in 1982. We were invited to dinner at Bloody Mary’s, and afterward our genial host asked us to stay behind, as he had a surprise. After the other customers had left, he brought out a 16mm projector and showed us South Pacific in its entirety. Seeing the movie’s vibrant Kauai scenery, including the mythical Bali Hai, while sitting there amidst the similar beauty of Bora Bora is something that I will never forget ...

But didn't you tell me one time that your sister wouldn't be a good date?Wino you know wrote:Need a date?LIPH wrote:GIVE US A F'N DATE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!![]()

My sister is available.
Seriously give us a date for Hawaii and Tahiti. As long as I make it to Hawaii I'll be happy. If I'm able to do Hawaii and Tahiti that'll just be icing on the cake.
A question for everyone here. Do you think I'm safe to make plans to be out of the country from Sept 6 to November 1. I wouldn't want to make those plans and find out Jimmy is doing Hawaii/Tahiti starting on Nov 1.

His restaurant in Hawaii is supposed to open sometime in November, so it would make sense that it would cooincide with the concert. I'm guessing everything is contingent upon the opening of the restaurant, F.W.I.W.

Well he better announce a date no later then mid July. I'm getting ansy about the price of airline tickets. Right now Costa Rica is only $600. hawaii is about $700 to 800 last time I checked, but hope to be able to use FF miles to Hawaii, or pay for a ticketto Hawaii and use FF miles to get to Tahiti.Wino you know wrote:He said he wanted a DATE, he didn't say anything about a GOOD date.diverg wrote:But didn't you tell me one time that your sister wouldn't be a good date?![]()

I just hope to God none of this falls through like so many of his other "projects."
If so, I just may have to get to one of the west coast concerts just to make myself feel better.
(And I can actually DRIVE to CA-provided a gallon of gas there doesn't equal the cost of a concert ticket by that time).

I'm getting anxious too - if Tahiti happens and is feasible for us (it likely is, we fly for free to LA and can buy cheep to tahiti, so it's pretty much lodging only), i am totally out of vacation days (and will have to be sick for a friday and monday to make LMS and the Oct 18 vegas show).
If it doesn't happen, or if it does happen and we can't make it happen for us, then I will be in great vacation-day shape and can get on with my fall plans.
sigh ...

He only gave 2 or 3 months notice for Anguilla though he knew in August 2006 that he'd be playing the Dunes Preserve in March 2007.
I don't want to live on that kind of island
No, I don't want to swim in a roped off sea.
Too much for me, too much for me
I've got to be where the wind and the water are free.
