best of Honolulu
hmmm... i don't see 'best miso butterfish: yohei' there :)
or how about?: 'best tours: neko tours' :)
Great! Now I know where to go IF and WHEN I get the chance to visit Honolulu...
neko: lol! I'll have to consult with the upper "people" to see if they can add "neko tours" to the list! :P
Hey consuela, I just tagged you with a meme. Check out my Thursday post... have fun! :-)
snglguy> I don't see the meme :(
But I heard Honolulu is VERY expensive. How true?
Indeed...cost of living here is expensive; housing and food prices are considerably higher than in most other U.S. mainland cities. It might seem like everything in Honolulu is expensive, but there are bargains to be found if you know where to look. :)
OMG ~ I wish you had done this when I was there in Honolulu!!! LOL! Oh well..... the next time!!! Yah! Hoo Haa!!! :-)
LB> Be sure to let me know when you'll be in Honolulu next. Hopefully it won't be raining as much as it is now and I can play tourist guide :)
Ok, deal!! :-) I wanna the bentos again....
My dad lives in Ewa Beach, not too far from you. :)
lotionbarbunny> ahhh...that's quite a drive still since it's on the other side of the island :)
