Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I am travelling to Hawaii for two weeks and I have no idea how difficult it will be for a vegetarian there. Does anyone who has been to Hawaii have advice or recommendations? FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.

Does anyone who has been to Hawaii have advice or recommendations?>> It's been a while, so I can't remember exact names or locations, but I found it was actually pretty easy over there. There are a lot of Asian restaurants, which really helps. There's also a funky, well-known, hippie-type place on Maui that has veggie burgers and the like, and is in the VRG's book about restaurants by state (not handy at the moment, so I can't tell you myself). Presumably you'll be staying in a hotel, so contact them in advance to find out what they know about their own restaurants and their local area. But there are so many Asian tourists in Hawai'i that you shouldn't have a problem. Just remember that almost everything has to be shipped in, so you might want to bring a few staples (soy milk, say) to keep in your hotel room if you don't want to pay really high prices for them locally.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Vegetarian Times recently named either Honolulu or Waikiki (I'm sorry I cannot remember which) as one of the greenest cities in the US. There are supposedly plenty of vegetarian eats. There is a vegetarian healthy fast food chain (ahh, heavan), and also the country's largest ALL VEGETARIAN GROCERY STORE!!! I want to move there! Who's with me??

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Waikiki is right next to Honolulu, so it's kinda the same thing. Unfortunately, it's very expensive to live there. My brother-in-law invited us to move there, but then he told me that there are people there who have no choice but to work 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet. So I guess if we just wanted to live on the beach and eat coconuts..... -- " lilmunkydunk " <lilmunkydunk Mon, 14 Nov 2005 20:34:05 -0000 >Vegetarian Times recently named either Honolulu or Waikiki (I'm sorry I >cannot remember which) as one of the greenest cities in the US.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 How lucky that you have someone to visit in Hawaii! Unfortunately, the cost of living isn't much higher than where we live. I would rather live paycheck to paycheck in paradise than paycheck to paycheck in the concrete jungle. The only thing is all those pig roasts in Hawaii would be hard to take. At least here when friends invite you to a " luau " it just means that they will be wearing floral print shirts and drinking lots of rum!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hmmmm, well, those are good points. Keep in mind, though, that Honolulu is pretty crowded and noisy and full of traffic snarls as well....and then there's the occasional tsunami alert. But I guess all the palm tree-lined beaches that surround it sort of make up for it. It's kinda funny....the last time my sister came to visit, she kept talking about how much she misses the beauty here in WI, and how she thinks we live in 'God's Country.' I guess it's all in how you look at it, right? BTW, I never did see any pig roasts while I was out there...maybe they're easier to avoid than you think? I dunno. Good luck with your 'quest!'
