The Bus operation on Honolulu Marathon day

I am seeking advice on how to get from Waikiki to the airport on the morning of the Honolulu Marathon on December 14.

I couldn't find any information on whether The Bus is operating or not on their website with my English skills.
（ Including information on the day, such as whether they are changing their route ）
Charlie Taxi said that they only accept phone calls on the day and cannot take reservations in advance, and that they also cannot dispatch cabs to the airport depending on road conditions.

Please let me know if you have any information on bus service or circuits in Waikiki.

I definitely do not recommend buses on Honomala day. They are never on time. And if you are going to the airport, you will have to be on time for your flight.
Taxi is definitely the way to go, HANA Taxi can be reserved in advance and will be there waiting for you on time.

divorce attorney

Excuse me
if you know. How much are attorney's fees for a divorce ？ I was wondering what the market rate is.

We had a dispute while we were back in Japan and my husband went back to Hawaii first and closed our joint account ？ It disappeared from the internet.

We are not divorced and neither of us has a lawyer.
The money is not in my name because it was jointly owned.

I don't have it against Japan either. I heard that lawyers are there because there is no divorce by agreement.
Can anyone give me some advice?

If you don't have any particular property division or custody disputes, you can usually go to court and do the paperwork on your own.
It is a hassle to make copies and all that, but we did it all ourselves because we didn't want to pay legal fees.
There is a competent concierge at the courthouse, so we took the documents there first and asked him to check for any mistakes, etc. The whole thing only cost us a little over $200. I see a lot of bog-standard divorces, so as long as you talk it out on your own, it is possible to get a divorce without an expensive lawyer.

I have a question for all you bright people in Hawaii. I am currently working for a company and getting 401K matching, but for various reasons I have decided to retire for a while.
I have worked for the company for about 7 years and am now 55 years old.
I plan to start working for another 401K matching company
next year, but I have not been hired at this time
.
My question is, if I am not hired and end up working for a company that does not offer 401K
, will I be able to withdraw my 401K savings in this halfway state until I turn 60? ？ I also heard that 10% of the total amount will be deducted, but I don't understand the true meaning.
Please let me know what you know.

Hello.
You can ask the investment company that manages that 401K directly. Chat or call them.
You can leave it as is or roll it over to another. You should check with your own life insurance agent.
They can give you a lot of advice.

When you turn 59.5 years old, you can withdraw 10% with no fee.

You can rollover your 401K, though.

What you need to ask your investment manager is if you will be penalized ？

You should ask your insurance agent yourself.

I am an asset manager myself, and I think it is best to invest in a way that suits you

Hello, I have a child who is currently in preschool.
I have a child currently in preschool and am considering applying to Kamehameha Schools （ KS ） in the future. We understand that there are multiple timings to apply, so we are looking to apply from Kindergarten first.

We already have Hawaiian ancestry registry （ Hawaiian pedigree registry for Kamehameha ） but we are wondering if you actually have
• children attending
• who have taken KS in the past • If you have siblings who have enrolled at KS
or any other position, we would be very happy to hear your advice and experiences.

Any small details would be helpful, such as points to prepare for the application, things you wish you had done in preschool, the atmosphere of the interview, the actual atmosphere of the school after attending, etc.

Thank you very much ！

My son is attending. He is in Elementary now.
If you have a Hawaiian pedigree, you can usually get in ！ not that much （ like Punahou or Iolani ） the odds are not that high ！
the atmosphere in the school is pretty laid back. The atmosphere in the school is quite laid back, which is typical of Hawaiians. （ Laughs ） It is good for my son, but
academically, I don't think you should have high expectations. I grew up in Japan, and from my point of view, the academics are not good enough, and
the teachers at the conferences don't give many pointers. It is a very Hawaiian school with children of Hawaiian heritage ！.

My husband is a KS interviewer lol so I can't go into details

-The school is dedicated to keeping the Hawaiian culture alive

Even kids who can express their own opinions about what they want Hawaii to be like in the future will be noticed

-The interview The judgment has already started as soon as the
They can tell if a child is restless or not

-They want to accept as many different children as possible
I don't think you need to worry about it
A fixed number of students per region are selected


those who want to improve their skills will have dedicated
teachers who will help them to achieve their goals.

Thank you all for your valuable comments.

I feel a little lighter now that you mentioned that "the odds are not that high if you have a Hawaiian pedigree". Also, your realistic stories about the atmosphere of school life and academic aspects were very helpful. Since I have a family member who teaches Hawaiian Studies, I feel that my child is naturally developing an interest and attachment to Hawaiian culture himself. I really agreed with what you said in the interview about the importance of having one's own opinion such as "what do you want the future of Hawaii to be like?

I would like to gradually increase the opportunities to experience Hawaiian culture in my daily life and watch over my children so that they can develop their own perspectives and ideas. The discussion about regional quotas and balance is also interesting and I will keep it in mind as a perspective when applying.

I would be happy to learn more from you.
Thank you for your continued support ！

I can't go into details, but I have a family member who runs a cram school for the Kamehameha entrance exam. According to the latest information, tuition will be completely waived starting in 2026, and graduates will be able to pay for college tuition as well.
My impression is that it is not so easy to pass the entrance exam, even though it is not as easy as Punahou or Iolani.

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed story.
This is the first time I heard about the full free tuition from 2026 and the support to the university, and once again I realized that it will be even more competitive in the future.

As you said, it is a different difficulty from Punahou and Iolani, and it is not an easy entrance exam. With this in mind, I will discuss again with my family about our future preparation. Actually, we are also looking into cram schools little by little, but we have not been able to find many that have the Kamehameha Kindergarten entrance exam in front of them, so we are not sure how to proceed.
I saw some Kamehameha names in the photos of successful applicants at Takahashi Juku, so I thought I would inquire about it, and I am wondering if there are many similarities with Iolani ・ Punahou-oriented preparation.

If you have any more advice, I would be happy to hear it.
Thank you so much for your valuable talk.

Please do not hesitate to contact me.

I go back to Japan once a year
when I need my cell phone number for various documents
I was allowed to use my parent's number
however, I received a text message saying that my parent's number was registered in the same place and it turned out that your phone was used by another person.
I'm thinking of buying a cell phone in Japan
I rarely use it and it would be a waste, but it's the only thing I can think of
If you have a better idea, please let me know.
if you know which model and what kind of plan would be best for me to buy in Japan
to be honest, I am not familiar with the Japanese situation in this area.

If you have a Japanese ID, you can buy it even if you live in USA. I chose Rakuten Mobile, which has the lowest monthly call charges.

Can I use my passport as a Japanese ID? I don't have any family in Japan, so I don't have an address where I can register.

I lived in Japan, so I have a renewed driver's license with a Japanese address.
Please check with your cell phone store to see if your Japanese passport will work as a Japanese ID.
I told them honestly when I bought my cell phone that I do not reside in Japan, so I do not receive any mail.
Nowadays, paperless is more appreciated.

Basically, it is impossible, but it is possible that if the company he is doing business with is located in Japan and he receives remuneration in Japan, he does not have to file an April 15 tax return for $ less than 10,000 per year, but for $ more than 10,000, there may be problems later on. I think there will be a problem later on.

Don't report a person just because you see him or her, but report him or her to an immigration agent when you know for sure that he or she earns more than $ 10,000, otherwise, you may be suspected and you may also incur a grudge against him or her.

Did you get pregnant and use temporary disability insurance TDI ？?

Daily life
#1
  • ミサイルちゃん(妊娠中)

Hello ！ I am pregnant. ！
I have been researching insurance from the state of Hawaii for my pregnancy, but I haven't heard of anyone who has taken it,
so I would like to hear from older moms and everyone who is currently pregnant.
I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how and when the paperwork is issued, whether you retired or not, etc. … I would really appreciate it if you could tell me about it.

[TDI details below]
Temporary Disability Insurance （ Temporary Disability Insurance ： TDI

In Hawaii, non-occupational illness or injury （ pregnancy ・ including childbirth ） TDI （ Temporary Disability Insurance ） exists to supplement a portion of your wages if you are unable to work due to

pregnancy ・ for the period you are unable to work during childbirth, TDI may be available to receive a percentage of your wages for the period you are unable to work during childbirth.

However, there are some caveats ：
• TDI covers illness ・ injury ・ non-occupational disability, including pregnancy, while accidents at work ・ injuries, etc. are covered by workers' compensation （ workers ' compensation ） may be covered, and therefore treated differently. 
• TDI may not be covered if the employer does not offer the plan ／ and the requirements are not met. 
• TDI does not automatically provide employment security （ or the right to retain your job ）. In other words, there may be no institutional guarantee that you will always retain your former job after a leave of absence using TDI.

TDI Used.
My memory is fading, but before the birth, ask your employer to prepare the forms for you to submit. The subsidy is for 4 weeks for a normal delivery and 6 weeks for a cesarean section. The amount of the subsidy is better than nothing, and it is about 70% or 80% of one month's salary, I think ？. I remember that it was after the delivery, not during the pregnancy, but after the delivery.
The maternity leave system varies from company to company, so I think it would be a good idea to discuss things with the company.

I have grandchildren now, so this is a long time ago, but I used TDI because my pregnancy was not progressing well and I was unable to work. My husband also used TDI to take care of me. He and his wife both took a leave of absence until they used up their TDI, I retired at the end of my TDI, and my husband returned to his former job. It helped me during my pregnancy, but I had an emergency C-section, so it really helped to have my husband there after the birth.

I recently used TDI.
I have my employer, nurse and doctor fill out the form as well. The nurse told me that if I didn't work until 38 weeks, I should work until 38 weeks, even if I had to reduce my hours just in case, because there have been cases where I was turned down.
Of course, if you have an emergency delivery before then, you will be paid for 6-8 weeks from then on. After the birth, if there was a problem, it could have been extended further.
The amount depends on your income, but I believe the weekly limit was about $ 800.
I think you had to have been working in Hawaii for a few months before submitting the application, and you had to be working at least 20 hours per week.
If it is a large company with a large number of people, I think they may have their own benefits as well.

Please take care of yourself during your pregnancy.

I currently live in Manoa.
I am on a 400Mbps plan with Spectrum, but my videos are starting to freeze up. a couple of months ago my internet started breaking up and frequently
Netflix and android TV feeds stop and I can't watch them. I do speed measurements and it is rated as fast with 38.5 downloads and 7,47 uploads, but it feels very slow. I'm aware that it's a problem with my connection because it's almost the same even though I bought a new router. I am wondering if it depends on the area ？ Also, I was wondering if anyone who uses Hawaiian Telecom's fiber optic cable could tell me about it.

It is true that the infrastructure in the island country is weak. This time we also had Spectrum come and investigate the internet connection and found that there was a problem with the modem and the line. In the case of a problem, I still should have asked the company to investigate. I found it difficult to track down the cause just by testing the internet speed by myself. I'm glad to hear that it was surprisingly stable and the problem disappeared as a result.

I am in the process of going to court from a traffic violation in another state and would appreciate advice if anyone knows anything about this.

Problem / Need advice

I am in my second year in LA for a research study abroad program.
I was caught speeding ＋ no child restraint （ shoulder belt ） in Utah on May 31 and will be appearing in court.
I would like to know if anyone knows the general court process and how long it takes for the points to be reflected on my license if I violate in another state.
It is long, so I hope you have time to read it.

I took a family trip to Yellowstone last month.
I was caught in the above violation at that time.
・ 20 miles over the 90 mile limit on a road with an upper limit of 70 miles
・ A child pulled over on the shoulder and thought he was getting out and took off his chest belt, the police looking in found it and pointed out he was not wearing it （ His waist belt was on. ）.

The ticket I was given did not have a violation fee on it, so I called the court and was told I needed to appear in court. I checked online and it seems that summary court is a streamlined process, you tell them "guilty" or "not guilty", pay the fine, and that's it ？.
Although I am not convinced that the child was not wearing his chest belt this time because he had removed it after we stopped, I have given up because my car is not equipped with a drive recorder and I cannot prove it.
It seems that a Japanese interpreter will be present at the trial that day.

I plan to confirm the following at this trial.
・ Can I get a suspended sentence ？
・ Can I use Traffic school to avoid point reduction

＊ Since I am far this time, I have permission to appear remotely.

There was a continuation and I was also caught 20 miles over the limit in Idaho, about an hour from where I was caught on the same day, May 31. I got two violations in a short period of time, but only twice in my life.

This one was completed by paying $110 over the phone because the ticket had a violation fee written on it, I'm not sure if there is a point deduction because there was no mention of Traffic school. A month later, my California driver's license has no points so far.
It is possible that it is just a delay in reflection because of the different states.


My biggest concern is Idaho's 20 mph over ＋ I am prepared for a double combo 4 point deduction for Utah's 20 mph over and a one shot suspension. But when I asked Idaho, I was told that different states have different weights of guilt, so I don't know because each state reports and then California makes a decision and reflects that in the point reduction.

This is a long story, but if anyone knows about the following 4 points, can you please tell me ？
1. the process of summary trial
2. can I get a suspended sentence
3. traffic school Should I check during the trial to see if I can mitigate the points by ？
4. how long does it take to reflect if I have violated in another state?

My husband went to jail on January 2, 2026 after being caught for speeding over 20 mph in Utah while traveling in the US in a rental car and failing to stop without noticing immediately. He was released from jail on $750 bail, but after returning to Japan, I received an email asking me to appear in court. Did you have a lawyer for the trial ？ I consulted a Japanese lawyer living in Utah, but the cost is almost 1,000,000 yen, so I am not sure what to do. Also, I would like to ask what questions were asked during the trial, what I should answer, how long it will take, etc.

If you do not have legal fees, the government will provide you with an American attorney free of charge. This is by law, so you can request an attorney at the first court hearing because the judge is not fluent in English.

I guess the fact that the police didn't notice must have been considered an escape. It's unfortunate, but not noticing the police is not very common. I think it's easy to tell by the blue and red lights. I think the blue and red lights are easy to see.

I think it's quite a big deal that you got arrested. I would consider it an expensive study fee and pay one million yen. If you are unsure of the language and don't know the law, I think it would be more reliable to ask a professional.

Nice to meet you.
I have a lot of tickets both in and out of state.
I have been ticketed for max speeding in my car out of state, negotiating speed discounts, the list goes on and on.
As it turns out, my license is suspended for 6 months. Traffic school is a waste of time to take because it is a series of violations, although the points will disappear if you have no violations for a year after your first violation.
The rules are slightly different in each city in each state, but basically the same.
You will have to go to the court with jurisdiction nearest you, but personal objections are inadmissible. Of course you can get a court-appointed attorney （ Japanese ） for free, but they are only interpreters, so you have no chance.
You can't withdraw a speeding ticket unless you can make up a reason for the family's urgency. Some lawyers seem to be able to turn black into white, but it is difficult to find one, including financially. The bottom line is that it's not a money-making case.
You can get a result in a few months at the earliest, but it is a suspension and a fine.
In my case, even though I was suspended, I was still driving because I have a life.
Even if you hire a lawyer, they will just take your money and give you a discount on the fine.
I know this is a harsh opinion, but it is reality.

I love how graceful you are, even though you're not proud of it 😂 ↑

It's probably the most practical piece of advice I can give you.
