Re: Call for Papers, HICCS-40 Waikoloa, Hawaii (Big Island) (fwd)

[Russell Fulton <r.fulton () AUCKLAND AC NZ>]

Hi Randy,

Have fun at Waikoloa Hilton! (you are going I trust).  I went to a FIRST
meeting there a few years back.  It's a beautiful place with stunning
sunsets and coffee ;)

The only downside is that you are effectively captive in the hotel and
have to eat there.  Even the American at the meeting were complaining
about the cost.  The nearest shops are about 20 minutes walk and they
were pretty basic -- just supermarket and bottle store and service station.

Oh yes, don't trust the local airport shuttle operators!  They were over
an hour late picking me up (I suspect so they could take some others
going on a later flight in one trip) and got me to the airport with just
5 minutes to spare. Then I had to endure abuse from the check-in staff
who swore my ticket was not valid (which it wasn't).  Apart from that I
enjoyed Hawaii -- there are parts of the Island that are very like Auckland.
