[net.travel] Waikiki for New Year's

jgw@rabbit.UUCP (Jay G. Wilpon) (10/24/84)

I've been in Hawaii on New Years. Waikiki is crazy. In hawaii  there are
2 days when it is legal to use fireworks. New years' in one!
The locals go crazy with them. We were walking through Waikiki at night,
and had to dodge the firecrackers, one person with me had one land on his
foot, it exploded and burnt him and his clothes. By midnight then street
is already a solid sea of red firecracker paper!
The shows on New Years are ok, usually Jim Nabors,  Rich Little, etc.
But alot of the good shows are on Maui, where it is alot less hectic.

Like I said I've to Hawaii several times over the 'X-max' vacation time.
And i try desparately to stay AWAY from Waikiki.

Any other questions???

I have been in Maui on New Years eve and it was a very nice time.
Fireworks, dinner, dancing, etc. at the hotel.

For all practical purposes, fireworks in Honolulu were outlawed as of
late last year.
