First time we went to eggs and things, they were crowded. Booklet said their prices were four or five dollars for eggs and pancakes. Got there, and the menu said twelve and thirteen dollars.........hmmmm. So far the Hale Koa has been great except the internet was messed up the first two days.

I figure it cost me about 1/4 the price it would at the Hilton next door or the Trump down the street. AND No taxes....lol.

Thanks HBH, yeah, their in house menu was a lot higher than what was on their flyers in the books. Went to Micky D's that day out past Diamond Head and that was $23.00 and some change. We were way out of Waikiki. Like you guys said, it's expensive here now.

Hmmmmmm... I hadn't thought about this until now but the only place in Hawaii that we have found many sea shells was when we went out to Niʻihau. Anyone know why that is?

Yes frosty it because of the reefs and tides, the reefs give shells a pounding before they reach the beach. You can still find some of the nices shells in tide pools.

Hawaii in general isn't known for shellfish. Think about it - what shellfish do you crave from Hawaii? Just isn't the right geography.

Hawaii is different TGPILOT but There are a few secrets for combing Hawaiian Island beaches for shells. The first thing you should know is that you may not find many shells right on the sand. Hawaii isn’t like Florida or the Bahamas, where you find seashells strewn all along the waterline as you wander down the beach. Hawaii hides many of its shells in the water. Wade, snorkel or swim out a bit, looking near the reefs, rocky outcrops and ledges. And check tide pools.

Unfortantly kauai and maui beaches are your best beat to find shell. But that doesn't mean oahu doesn't have them. Just remember what mades Hawaii famous also destroys shells. The reefs and pounding surf.
