Cooling Off On The Big Island, Kauai With Kids And Shipping From Hawaii: Show 30

Play

The Hawaii Travel Podcast Show 30 for Tuesday July 23rd 2013.  On this week’s show we’ll talk about where to cool off on the Big Island, we’ll explore your shipping and shopping options while visiting Hawaii, and we’ll talk about things to do with kids on Kauai.  All that and more on this episode of The  Hawaii Travel Podcast.

SHIPPING FROM HAWAII

Agnes emailed us and asked the following:

My husband and and 2 girl friends are visiting Hawaii. As we are arriving on Thanksgiving eve, we are prepared for some serious Black Friday shopping. The thing is, we do not want to lug our shopping through subsequent jaunts to Maui and Big Island. Appreciate your advice! Thanks.

When shopping on Oahu, make sure to visit the swap meets.  This is where many of the stores in Waikiki shop.  Visit the swap meet and get great deals direct from the suppliers.

One place we recommend is the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet & Marketplace.

We feel the best option for shipping packages is via the United States Postal Service.  They are everywhere and surprisingly reasonable.  The only potential downside is the length of time it takes to get mail from Hawaii to the main land.

KAUAI WITH KIDS

Our second email came from the absolute best grandma in the world, Lori, she wrote…

Waimea CanyonHi guys!
I am really enjoying your podcasts….especially the tidbits of Hawaiian history. I haven’t been to Kauai for 40 years, and in July I will be traveling there with my 5 year old granddaughter. Are there any “must-see’s” that I don’t want her to miss? I would really appreciate your input and look forward to future editions of your podcast.
Thanks so much…
Lori from Grants Pass, Oregon
