Thanks for the info!

And I couldn't help but notice... how long has your location said that?

I'm also a bit overwhelmed by the Oahu Visitor's Guide that came in yesterday's mail.

But first, bg and I need to figure out where we're gonna stay!

I sent for the info packet when the show was announced, yet to get it.
Has it been informative?

Yes, there is quite a bit of info! So much to do, so little time! And that's just one island!

I ordered mine a couple weeks before it was official.

(And CILCIA just came on my radio! Yay!)

I put email inquiries in with Germaine's and Paradise Cove too, just to see what they come back with. Hopefully we'll be able to reserve a group name together, then let everyone call in to make their payments separately.

Not me

A friend at work did it, said it was pretty scary. Alot of bumping of the cage, etc goes on with some very hungry sharks who are expecting dinner.

I think I'd much rather take an acrobatic glider ride out on the North Shore. Mountains, ocean, no engine, perfectly safe..... compared to swimming with sharks....

I may be up for that. One more thing to cross off the list of "what the sam hill was I thinking?" Too bad it won't be whale season.

I need to climb Diamond Head again and see if the little "memento" I left there two years ago is still there.

Other than that and the concert itself, I'll be open to anything else.
I do have a "guest" flying in from Nashville for the concert, and I did promise him I'd give him a tour of the island one day while we're there.

If you want, afterwards we can go to Ford Island. If you saw the movie "TORA TORA TORA," that was where nearly all the action took place. All the buildings are still there, although most are now abandoned.
Still-you'll see plenty of history there, including the U.S.S. Arizona and U.S.S. Missouri.
