The Big Kahuna
Well-known member
Finally finished booking my first trip back to the islands in 10 years. I booked the flights direct with AA and Hawaiian (Expedia couldn't do it to my requirements and were £ 300 more expensive). Also booked the cars and hotels direct. Quite adventurous for me & Mrs Kahuna, we usually go to our pet travel agent and pay the price.
Anyway, quick itinerary, then I'll get to the Uke questions:
Sept 29th - staying at Kailua-Kona, Big Island until Oct 3rd
Oct 3rd - staying at Kapa'a, Kauai until Oct 18th
So...are there any major Uke builders on the Big Island that wouldn't mind a disreputable Englishman paying their factory a visit to see how a good Uke is built ? And are there any good music stores there ? I'll probably only be driving over to Hilo once, to go see the waterfalls & do some sightseeing. This is our first time on the big island, so it'll be a busy 5 days.
The same question for Kauai, do you think Kamoa would mind me visiting them, if I called first, obviously.
Where is the place that Aldrine plays ? I've posted to his Facebook page asking if he'll be on Kauai and playing anywhere during my stay, but I've had no answer. I guess he's a busy dude.
Anyone from Kauai fancy a beer during October ?
Anyone have experience of carrying a Tenor Uke on a Hawaiian Airlines flight ?
