We’re Sorry Hilo Hattie

We’re Sorry Hilo Hattie

April 29, 2009 by Beat of Hawaii

I looks like Hilo Hattie, the originally Kauai-based store chain started in 1963, is fast coming to its demise. The ominous “we’re sorry” on their website is a sad indication of the conditions at hand. As you recall, we wrote about their problems last year both on May 10 and again on October 2. The federal court trustee monitoring […]

Where Did The Jellyfish Go?

Where Did The Jellyfish Go?

April 19, 2009 by Rob

I’ve been in Honolulu all week, and distance swimming at my favorite Waikiki  spot, Ala Moana Beach Park.  Keeping in mind that the jellyfish were due to arrive this weekend, I planned my swims accordingly. To my great surprise the jellyfish made alternate plans. This is a reminder, to plan your water time at south facing Hawaiian beaches accordingly.  […]

Recently, a 33 year old Japanese visitor drowned in the Wailua River, while kayaking with a tour group on Kauai.  On the same day, the Fire Department also rescued two more visitors on the Wailua River (not with the tour group), and another visitor at nearby Wailua Beach, after being swept out to sea. What’s to blame: Inclement weather […]

Travelocity Joins No Airline Fees And Price Guarantee; Where To Book

Travelocity Joins No Airline Fees And Price Guarantee; Where To Book

March 17, 2009 by Beat of Hawaii

No airline booking fees. Travelocity announced today that it is joining Expedia in eliminating airline booking fees, at least until May 31, and likely forever. The reason is that these online travel agencies are in fierce competition with both the airlines and with sites like Kayak, that direct you to the airline sites themselves for booking. Price guarantees. Travelocity […]

Jellyfish:  It Can Even Happen Here

Jellyfish: It Can Even Happen Here

February 24, 2009 by Beat of Hawaii

Late last week, I had quite a surprise instead of an intended swim, when I found Kauai’s Salt Pond Beach closed due to jellyfish.  This is the first time I can ever remember Salt Pond being impacted by jellyfish.  The lifeguard told me that he had counted over 500 of them that day. Jellyfish are prominent on Oahu’s Waikiki […]

Why A Waikiki Beach Smoking Ban?

Why A Waikiki Beach Smoking Ban?

February 4, 2009 by Beat of Hawaii

As I write, Hawaii’s legislature is considering banning smoking on famous Waikiki Beach.  The bill, which is expected to pass, will take effect immediately. The law is designed to keep cigarette butts off of the beach, while still allowing smoking on nearby sidewalks. Waikiki beach has been through a significant transformation in recent years and is being restored into […]
