Ross, Scoop

Keen to share accomodation or car.
What are your dates?

I'm looking at being on Big Island 3rd Jan-15th Jan or so.
North Shore 15th Jan to mid Feb (don't have flight dates yet)

Since it's a long trip I have to reduce costs a fair bit so I'm looking at Backpacker's Plantation/ Malaekahana
Backpackers is within walking distance of a range of spots so I won't need transport to get wet
Malaekahana is a bit further out so a car is needed to get to North Shore spots/ meet up with crew. Tent also needed. 4 boards, a tent, blanket - starts to get overweight really quickly!

Hi,
mike here.....canadian by way of Japan.
I am looking to share a place too. I will be going over from around the second week of February to beginning of march or so...
Can't go any earlier but I am flexible about the return...

Three ways is cheaper than two....

keep in touch..mike

[scoop]

I have looked at a beach front house...2 bedroom for us$175 + tax/ week http://www.teamrealestate.com/prop/4/
plus a cleaning fee 150...any sharers?????...is this exspensive????
maybe cheaper for a non beachfront

[japanmike (atom boy)]

Scoop,
I am intrigued. How many people do you think we could fit in there?
$175 cheap??? I don't know?....good question.....anyone?

I wonder how far it is to the surf? The rest of the gang?

Thanks for checking it out for us.

mike

[scoop]

sorry guys the above post should be $175/DAY plus taxes
TONY

[japanmike (atom boy)]

Yeah, $175/week would have been pretty nice!!!! I was actually thinking per day to begin with.....How far away from the action is it? I don't know the area at all.....

Thanks..mike

Ross
Flights booked for 10th Feb from Melbourne, 3rd March from Honolulu
Let me know if you've sorted accomodation.

[japanmike (atom boy)]

Hi Red,
I will be on almost the same timetable as you....maybe we could all work something out?

Thanks....

[ross]

sorry guys my computer crashed so i havent been watching the posts.my mates property is off the agenda as the selfish little man has rented it out already.
this place scoop is onto sounds ok but my budget probably need us to have 4 or 5 people in that house to make it a go mission.i,m off to have my medial meniscus poked at. wish me luck!
