Mahalo for all your handy tips! For motionsickness I take ground ginger capsules – not the candy – (find it anywhere they have supplements), it works for me and there are zero side effects.
Hi Don.
Thanks. Good tip.
Aloha.
I too have tried all of the items to prevent motion sickness that you listed and had the same results. I found that Meclizine works like a wonder drug. It is sold as Rugby Motion Sickness and it is over-the-counter but behind-the-counter at your local pharmacy. No prescription required. I have this on me at all times!
Why is there an unwillingness to work in Hawaii? Seem like there is plenty of demand and many good jobs available. Are people still collecting government assistance even after the jobs have returned?
I have found the wrist bands for motion sickness to work very well. I first used them 20 years ago on my first trip to Hawaii. I have passed them out to family and friends and they all say they work but you have to put them in the right location on your wrist.
We have some giant kick-ass centipedes out in our North Shore Kauai yard, including even at the beach dune. Never reach into thick vines or trim palm branches without protective gloves and full length clothes. picking up logs (firewood) or large rocks is a good way to uncover them.
And you left out the drone-sized paper (and mud) wasps ….
Skeeters not really a problem unless the trades die off.
I saw a scorpion in our hotel condo in Keauhou Bay on the Big island. It was on my wrap cover up, that was hanging in the closet. Don’t know how it got on it, but I was just about to put it on when I saw that there was something that looked like a dried leaf. I was about to brush it off when I realized what it was and wrapped it all in the towel and took it outside. I was too afraid to open it luckily a housekeeping guy came by and killed it for me!
Saw a live and crawling scorpion in the backyard of a Kailua (Oahu) B&B a half block from the beach. When my wife exclaimed, “Is that a scorpion?” The owner, wearing shoes, stomped on it, ground it in as much as she could and replied, “Scorpion? What scorpion?” Fortunately those proprietors are long gone. Thanks for including the warning for scorpions and centipedes (which we’ve seen on Kauai and the Big Island). A sting from either could wreck a vacation.
It seems you are blaming the proprietors for the presence of a scorpion. While humans can take some preventative measures, these insects were here long before we were and will be here long after we are gone. As this article points out, be aware.
Aloha, my sister and I will be traveling to Oahu from July 1-14 th from Kelowna, B.C, Canada . Any recommendations please….mahalo
Hi Melody.
From Kelowna it looks like about $700 for your dates. Vancouver is $644. If you stay with Vancouver and change dates to July 2 through 13, then $526.
Aloha.
Surfers Salve works well to relieve the itch from mosquito bites.
I would add a recommendation that folks ALWAYS wear swim shoes unless they are only wading where it is just sand and no coral or other sea life. My son decided to ditch his swim shoes on our last day there, jumped off a jetty area in Waikiki and landed on part of a sea urchin. This left tiny little spikes embedded in his big toe, very painful. We treated it ourselves by soaking in vinegar, but some were so deep, we had to see a doctor when we got home…trip expenses we weren’t planning on!
