I would hazard it was an exceptionally well-dressed line!

Has Japanese tourism bounced back from pre-earthquake levels?

still seems so fragile.

Westbound too...the hotel's numbers are up, and their room rates are up, but people's buying habits seem to have changed in a big way. Maybe that's a good thing.

I'd like people to know how much plastic rubbish gets created in Waikiki, and it is NOT recycled, in the vast majority! An astonishing volume of plastic bottles---this stuff has got to stop.

People! You can drink the water out of the tap here...it is fine, better than bottled!

...now if only the hotels would stop trying to break the unions and hire!

I confess, I would use/reuse and recycle 1.5 liter plastic bottles when working outdoors. I could not keep my camelbak clean and after a month or so it developed fungus, made me sick, and then lost whatever decent taste the bladder had, and a replacement wasn't cheap. But yeah, Oahu needs to get a lot better about litter/recycling - hello people, the dump is overflowing!
