I don't know how long this will take me, but I plan on covering these helpful tidbits for living in Oahu/Honolulu in the future.  These are all information that I feel would have been helpful in getting in and around Oahu/Honolulu when I first started living here. Hope it helps and entertains at the same time.

  4. free parking for Fort Derussy Beach
  5. free parking for waikiki beach
  6. unavailability of mainland banks
  7. small cars are your best friend in Honolulu
  8. Costco situation

  10. Walmart situation/parking tips

Thanks for reading! Mahalo, and aloha.

Sea Turtle Collection

I just realized that my wife Miyako and I bought all kinds of stuff in Hawaii with sea turtles on it.  I didn't know it, but I think this is the start of a collection.  I thought I'd put this together for fun. Most of these items were bought at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet.
