has it been busy this year?

i heard all 3 Publix sales were up 20%, and restaurant sales were down over the past few years due to competition and more locals and visitors cooking instead of going out.

...be there soon to help out the economy!!!!

Best year we ever had in Seaside. I used Emerald Sun and VRBO and they worked great. We left Cottage Rentals at Seaside a year ago since they seemed more interested in getting more houses all along 30-A, costs kept going up, and they clearly had their own agenda (which did not include answering to owner issues)

Best decision we ever made.

i have been gone for few weeks. good to hear about business being great. hawaii is pretty nice. we stayed at waikiki beach, very crowded. honolulu and waikiki beach are pretty much one and the same. very metropolitan, very oriental. all signs and menus had at least japanese as the second listed language. we even went to a very upscale mall in the middle of honolulu that had japanese as the first language. even the overhead announcements were in japanese. as far as the beaches go, not nearly as nice as seaside area. we did go to the north shore of oahu and the beaches were better. there really is nothing like what you see in sowal. i will say that the north shore is actively fighting any high rises or major developments. once you left honolulu it was very laid back and relaxing. overall, i still prefer sowal, but you should go to hawaii at least once in your lifetime.

goodwitch58, i have heard maui is awesome. next time i have the patience for that long flight, i will head there. oahu is nice, but not as nice as i thought it would be, and very, very crowded. i believe a million people live on oahu. the entire population of hawaii is 1.3 million. oahu is great for historical things, especially pearl harbor. if you have never been to pearl harbor and uss arizona, it is a very sobering experience. there is still oil coming out of the arizona to this day!

Of all the islands, the Big Island is my favorite. The contrasts from the beaches, to the rolling, grass-covered hills, to the lava flows is absolutely incredible.
