I'm glad you found the earlier post and the flyer information useful.
Donki and its affiliate Times have a sale change day on Wednesdays, but
as of Tuesday, they let us know what the next week's sale will be so we can plan accordingly.
They have been doing this since the middle of Corona, so I think they have planned this from the consumer's point of view.

Now to the main question, whether the price of food goes down in the off-season,
I myself have not felt it in my daily life.
I think the prices of restaurants ・ and cafes are basically the same regardless of high season ・ or low season.
Perhaps discount coupons may increase in low season to attract customers.

Regarding supermarket food, seasonal vegetables and fruits may vary slightly.

Egg prices have skyrocketed due to the bird flu, but recently the cheapest brand is now $3 for 12 eggs.
However, before Corona, the price was sometimes $1.50-$2.00 on sale, so I have the impression that the price has remained high due to the shortage of labor in Corona, inflation, etc.

As for rice, 15 lbs of California rice used to be $10-11 on sale, but it has gone up to about $14.

Other items such as meat, snacks, natto (fermented soybeans), tofu, etc. have remained at high prices.
Hawaii souvenirs （ coffee, macadamia chocolate, etc. ） have also become much more expensive.

I have written about the negative aspects, but
I think you can keep your food costs down if you check the sales at each supermarket and cook mainly for yourself and eat out once a week.

Prices, I think they are starting to settle down.

A cup of coffee at a Cafe is not ＄ 10.

A cup of coffee at Honolulu Coffee Experience Center
Iced coffee is ＄ 6.

Starbucks would be ＄ 5 or so.

If it was a hotel cafe, it would be like that, including tip.

I think some of the information is wrong. I think the reason is that
they are trying to discourage
travel to the U.S. by saying that the U.S. has a high inflation rate.

I don't believe much information from people who only see Waikiki
. They are giving out some pretty ridiculous information.

Japan was too cheap, so I guess they finally got the price right
.

The weak yen is also having an effect.

It is not uncommon for an egg costing 900 yen in Japanese yen to be the same
in US dollars.

Eggs and other ＄ 3 or less prices are coming back.

Well, you can take the Waikiki tipsters for what they are
it is what it is.

It used to be that Hawaii was expensive, now NYC is
the most expensive, SF, LA, etc., and Honolulu
is cheaper than SF.

Don't put too much trust in bullshit information.

I see. I also heard people talk about the high cost of living, but it doesn't seem that different from when I was there before. ・ ・ ・ ？ I remember my last city in the US was like this, too. ？ I was uncertain and asked a question.

Restaurants and such have been expensive for a long time.

Thank you very much for your help ！ I will consider going there as long as I can drink coffee ！.

But I feel that 5 cents to a dollar is not so vague. Whether it sells or not, the state of the market, of course, has a lot to do with it. I have had people buy books from me, but they don't buy things they don't think they can sell.

I just received an email directly from someone who actually has a child there, and she also told me that it was a good school, although it seemed that way when she went on the tour ！
The director was very learned and very good with kids. The director was a good person who was very knowledgeable and you could tell that she liked my child very much. She praised my child a lot and gave me advice.

Now, there are only 9 sections from Halawa Station (Stadium Station) to

Parking is on site so no walking.
There was no line, and the ride was Swiss.
It takes 20 minutes from the stadium to Kapolei.
If you miss one car, it will come back 10 minutes later.

Thank you for the additional information😊
I went there today.
It was nice to see a different view from the top of the road that we usually drive on. However, if you ask me if I will ride again ？, I probably won't because I can get to where I want to go with pinpoint accuracy by car.
I can only wonder ？ if it will be possible to pay for the full-scale operation starting tomorrow, but I just hope that taxes will not go up any further due to this negative legacy.

I don't think Skyline is a negative legacy. It is your own opinion.

Right now, the Skyline is east of Aloha Stadium, but once it opens to Kakaako
the number of users will certainly increase.

In 2023, the Kalihi Transit Center will be open, and in 2031,
the Kakaako government district will be open.

The Bus also loses money every year, but is subsidized
by the US Department of Transportation. The subsidy has been paid to Skyline for the opening of the new service this July.

Currently we are looking at 3 ， 000 to 4 ， 000 passengers per day.
I think we will see an increase in usage when school starts next month.

I used this service in mid-April to Japan arriving at Narita.

I arrived 3 hours before the flight and had to wait in a long check-in line. .....
I was told that the reason for the long line was because the same counter was used for Haneda flights departing earlier than Narita flights.

The machine is at the same counter. The machine finally gave me a ticket after 3 tries. My husband stayed on the line and I went to the machine, and when it didn't work after two tries, I was worried about giving up, but on the third try I got it. ！

An American ？ looking person was also struggling, but he looked like he could manage.

There were a few Japanese who tried to check in using the machine, but gave up and returned to the line.

By the way,
my husband's passport was accepted easily from the beginning, but my passport was out twice.

And as for checked baggage,
we were told to take our paper tickets to the "ticketed counter".
I showed the ticket flier and the attendant called me to come over.

I left the long line safely, but this time the checkpoint was so crowded that I was just in time to board.

The familiar faces in the long line around us boarded the plane, gasping for breath... I wondered if the people further back in the line had boarded ？ but I couldn't tell.

By the way, Hawaiian Airlines has a plane in the domestic area, so even if I check in at international flight, I have to move to the domestic area after all.

For your information....

Thank you for the useful information!
I see you tried the machine,
I see some light now.

Last time I returned home alone, but this time I have a companion
so I will have one person wait in line just in case, and a few others will try
the machine.

By the way, as of last month, the Hawaiian baggage checkpoint was
moved to the international end of the
terminal at Domestic (Interisland).
It used to be the farthest opposite end, but
now it is closer.
So after checking in at the international terminal, it is not too far to go to
the baggage check point at the domestic terminal.
When I used this terminal, it was relatively quiet and I could go there easily.

I will share the information here again
for your reference when I return home this month.
Thank you all.

I checked with the Hawaiian ground staff before,
the kiosk machine can be used if you have a Japanese passport.
If you approach the counter and ask for your checked baggage when there is an opening. The company will be happy to help you.

After attaching the luggage tag issued by the machine,
I usually go to the back of the counter and ask for a gap between customers and clients to deal with,
completing check-in in a flash.

TSA can be entered from anywhere, so it is one way to find an open space and use it.
Note, however, that the TSA PRE-only entrance is only accessible if you are eligible for it.
Incidentally, the Interisland Terminal should not accept check-in for Japanese flights.

Mr. Elephant

Thank you for the information ！
I see that it is possible to check in at the machine if you have a Japanese passport.
I heard that you can also check in your baggage by looking at the gap between the time you check in and the time you leave.

I have some hope that we will be able to make it for now.
Thank you all for your information.

Topic.
I am reporting that I recently flew Hawaiian Airlines.

We arrived at Honolulu airport 3 hours before boarding time.
The check-in line was not very long, but it took about
30 minutes to be called to the counter
from the beginning of the line.

Actually, I first tried to check in at the machine, but
I got an error
no matter how many times I tried to enter the number of pieces of baggage to check in, so I asked the agent there
who managed to get my boarding pass, but …
the agent continued to check me in. The agent continued to operate the baggage check, but the error continued
.
And finally, the baggage tag could not be produced by the machine
and I was told to get in line for check-in ….
I had no choice but to get in line at the end of the line …
However, another person who was operating the machine next to me had a boarding pass and
baggage tag, so it seems that there are cases where you can check in
without any problem.

I was not satisfied with the result, but
there are more counters than before, and
the line seems to be getting better, so
I guess it is acceptable at least for now.
I don't recommend it for people with children or the elderly, though.

This is a late report on the current status of Hawaiian Airlines
.
I would like to make an earnest request to Hawaiian Airlines
so that I can check in by machine without any problem.

Thank you for reading this long report.

Hi ！
My son attends Iolani and my nephew attends Montessori Community School.
Iolani is an academic school. I was torn between Punahou and Iolani, but decided on Iolani after seeing where their graduates went to college.
Punahou is more socialized and focuses on sports.
Le Jardin is controversial, so I chose … Le Jardin.
I heard that many kids who didn't get into Iolani or Punahou go to Midpak.
In fact, it would be easier to understand the school's color
if you go on a school tour ！.

Mr. Aquarium
Thank you for all the information you gave me right away. I have heard that there are many other good private schools in Hawaii. I guess the best way is to go on a school tour by myself.

I have recently learned that there are as many Montessori kindergartens as Starbucks in the mainland (the quality varies and you have to be discerning), but in Hawaii, even getting your child into a Montessori education is a very difficult thing to do.
I see that the entrance examination starts from the selection of the kindergarten. Thank you very much for your valuable time.

I understand ！ I came to Hawaii from Michigan and there are many Montessori schools in Michigan, but Montessori is more expensive than other schools and I didn't know which one to choose.

There are several Montessori schools in Oahu
Montessori Community School in Makiki is
an academically advanced school.

Choosing a school, it's hard to decide ….

Thank you for all the information you have given me, as I had never heard from someone who actually has a child attending the school.

As for Montessori, Michigan is the same ！
I was surprised to read the other kindergarten topics that you mentioned … I am in culture shock.
I guess there are many places where even kindergarten is not easy to get into, even if you want to get in at the last minute. You have to decide your target school in advance and choose a kindergarten … It's almost like taking an entrance exam in Japan.

If you don't mind, could you please tell us about some kindergartens that are considered academic preparatory schools?
Thank you very much.

I was not the one who conducted the funeral, I only attended three funerals of relatives, but all three were at different funeral homes.

The casket was carried in a cart.
The graves were buried in the ground, but the radius of the grave was covered with a sheet so that no one could get close to it.
Before that, no one even tried to approach. We sat on chairs about 4 meters away, including the bereaved family. After the ceremony was over and the graves were entered, I have never experienced attendees pouring flowers and dirt on the graves like in the movie.
After entering the grave, we had refreshments, during which time the staff covered the grave with soil and placed the funeral offering on top of the grave, and the pattern was to go see it after the refreshments.

The employees who covered the graves with soil were in beige work clothes.
They were holding shovels, and I didn't feel uncomfortable, and
there were no complaints from anyone.
The person who died was a well-known, well respected authority in Hawaii, though.

I have been to many ceremonies here,
but I have never heard of people not being allowed around a dug hole,
and the workers were in work clothes.
But we have never had an MC who looked down silently,
distracted by the sound. I think that is too much of a mess.
I complained ？
It would be easier if I said something.
I remember a funeral director in Kaneohe, but
it was messy.

I have photographed a funeral. I think it is the same place.
That family was an open casket. If there was a flaw in the sound, they were trying to fix it as quickly as possible, so they must have been concentrating. They must have been troubleshooting a lot of things. As for the flowers, there was a tent at the place where the burial took place, where the family members gave speeches at the end. I remember that before closing the coffin, the mourners handed out flowers to those who wanted to put them in, and they put them in one by one. The family members helped to carry the coffin to the burial hole, and then the staff bulldozed the coffin in. You said that the audio did not work and the ceremony did not go as planned, but if you had agreed in advance to order the audio there, it would be the fault of the funeral home, so you could try to negotiate for a refund if you need one. If you brought your own audio equipment and gave it to them on the day of the service, I don't know if it would be ？ the venue's fault or not.
