But it was about 2x what the Airbnb wanted and honestly I am kinda over hotels at this point. I don't really care about room service, laundry service, concierage, etc.

There is apparently a bus that goes right from the airport to my street for 3 bucks. Gonna pull a guns and save 30 bucks on an uber.

Any victards familiar with Oahu, Waikiki? Looking for some tips* - By Daytripper August 7, 2026 at 01:36:48 PM
- Waikiki is basically Vegas with "beach" replacing "gambling", plenty of good hole in the wall Asian food. Oahu has an awesome bus system - By Arctic August 7, 2026 at 02:19:22 PM
- Stayed in Waikiki a couple times for work 20 years ago. General feeling was they needed a good hurricane to come through so they would be forced to replace/renovate all the ageing hotels* - By Asquared August 7, 2026 at 02:02:29 PM

      - Big Island is for when I'm hopefully rich and/or dying as a bucket list. I'd want to just have it all Egghead or tWino style lux - By Daytripper August 7, 2026 at 01:55:23 PM
        
        We've been to HI 6 or 7 times. We are locked in on the Big Island and Kauai as our 2 favorite islands. Big Island is more because of the hotel; Kauai, as a pure island, is our favorite (nm) - By danny August 7, 2026 at 02:32:07 PM
