*MAD DOG*'S Visiting Hawaii Apr-May 2011

[yarisugi]

Congrats MAD DOG! I would think that the show provides you with a place to stay.
There are many many many hotels here so you might have to elaborate on what you mean by "good". I'll give you some hotels that are near the shores that are popular and good - Sheraton Waikiki, Hilton Hawaiian Village, Outrigger Moana Surfrider, Outrigger Reef on the Beach, on the higher end would be Halekulani Hotel.

Most popular places to shop would be Ala Moana Shopping Center (largest on Oahu). The place you'll probably be staying would be Waikiki, where most tourists stay. There are less "touristy" places but not sure what you're interested in.

You got quite some time to plan, but congrats on your win! I wonder, if you had crushed your paper into a ball and just threw it would you have won also? lol.

Thanks. I would not be asking about accomadation if they had provided it, but they did give me a cheque for $2,000 to spend anyway I want, so that will go towards accomadation of my choosing.

Well I've got the flights booked, next is the accommodation, then tours and what to see and do. I also had thought about crushing the paper into a ball and throwing it, but I thought in the spirit of the competition it may not have been a paper plane, rather a paper ball and maybe I would have been disqualified.

I knew that the dart paper plane I made would go the distance, but I couldn't lose cause all the guys at work would be forever throwing paper planes at me if I'd lost. Being the last person to throw gave me some adrenalin too.

Thanks for the suggestions.
