While it can get expensive, Hawaii is cheaper than you might think. I ride a moped to offset the gas cost but California has higher prices usually. Everything else seems about normal (except milk). If you eat off Waikiki, there is a ton of great spots for reasonable prices. The Mai Tai Bar does fres...

It sells out super fast. Reserved seats dry up almost instantly. The venue is tiny for Buffett. Most of the pit is taken by liquor accounts. I'm working all my accounts to see about landing some of the VIP passes.

M'Ville has the following posted 10.04.07 WAIKIKI SHELL Honolulu, HI Tickets on sale Saturday, July 21 I have to work on Saturday...... :( I'm sure one of us could buy them on your credit card if you trusted someone here. I usually use my own and then my relatives/friends cards to buy other sets. I...

Thank to all for the info on Hawaii so far. I went ahead and took the plunge and booked a Hawaii trip as a B-Day present for my wife. Have everything booked except the concert tickets. See they will be on sale 7/21. Got a good deal on a hotel bidding on Priceline. Got direct flights from Chicago. D...

For those wishing to indulge in the legendary kava root of the South Pacific, we can stop by here: http://www.diamondheadcove.com/ The kava smoothie is AMAZING. A few of those and then endless amounts of rum will keep you dancing all night and the hangover is minimal if any. Not sure how or why but ...

I'll be there. I'll be at cowboys meet and greet too, if that happens. I have to travel a little further, about 30 mins. Hope to find out soon if this is the real date! :P I manage the Bubba Gump in Ala Moana Mall (about 5 minutes from Waikiki). We also operate Mai Tai Bar, voted #1 bar in Honolulu...

Plane fare from Des Moines-$537.00 Lodging- ZERO! I've GOT to find a way to make this happen. LOTS of sucking up will be going on in this house between now and October If my spare room is not rented I may have room for a few fellow BNers. :D Man, I was looking to rent a room when I moved here last ...

From Chicago: $570

From New York: $540

From Miami: $533

Instead of a hotel, check out some of the vacation rentals. That is a very slow month in Hawaii and there will be tons of options....

It's a good 10 minutes from home on the moped but I think I can manage a show at the Shell. The last show there was simply splendid. If there's enough people coming in, I can set up a PH dinner at my restaurant with our sales manager for the night before. Sort of a meet and get drunk. Anyone with Ha...

Isn't that about the best hotel location for The Shell?

Great spot. Easy walk to the Shell.

On a related note, the Key West GM told me that the Waikiki Margaritaville should be opening in 2008. I can only imagine what a cheeseburger will cost there....$20?

Just spent a week there. Not much has changed. There is a new place on Duval called, quite simply, Rum Bar. I highly recommend it for a launching point before moving down Duval. Vigilio's was hopping both times I went there and Willie T's had a sweet band the other night. If I ever leave Hawaii, Key...

Heard today that when Jimmy was at the shell in '05 that there was a big stink about the noise and the crowd and that the shell was not too interested in rebooking him in the future. So if true are we looking at Blaisdel (boo) or as mentioned earlier, the crater? The crater lacks any formal facilit...

I've been here 24 hours and this place sucks. I do not remember so many idiots being here when I was young. The roads are a nightmare and everybody drives like they're on crack. There is a rumor of the only kava bar in the mainland somewhere in Boca Raton. That could save the weekend if I find it! K...

Looks like I might be going down there from June 16-23. Brother and his family are getting a condo. I'm not that familar with the area. What is there to do and where should I eat (healthy food and original as well)? Well, I grew up in BR. I actually return home to there this week for a visit with t...

We're off to the big island later this summer. This will be our first summer trip to Hawaii. Looking for suggestions on good snorkeling beaches. We plan on spending a good bit of time at the volcano park. Any favorite hikes? We will be spending the first 4 days at a b&b in the southern area of ...

I think some people are way overanalyzing this. If you look at Kenny's statements he uses a lot of same words and ideas that JB has pretty much made famous. Yes JB was not the first,but he is definately the most famous to have the whole 'island escape' thing. We should not begrudge anyone who follo...

Flying home to Florida next week. It's been almost 5 years since I last set foot in the swampy land of retirees. My best friend is getting married in Key West so I get to kill a week down there. Anything new to check out? All the bars still there? I've been stuck out here in Hawaii for a bit and los...

Sitting in the first few rows at country shows is always something special... Especially when you have entertainment like this sitting in the 10th row.... For those who are offended.. Please don't click the link... It is safe for work... But.... I just want to give fair warning.. Anyone else can re...

My best friend is a Honolulu cop, and he's at Duke's twice a week and checks the venue almost every other day. So far he's heard nothing. He knows to call me as soon as he does. Sounds like someone I should be frinds with! Explored town a bit yesterday and found an awesome kava bar within walking d...
