>I'm starting a new job in Hawaii on Sept 2nd. Obviously I'm quite exicted about it - but also a bit freaked-out as I've never even been to Hawaii before. The job is on the Oahu island in Honolulu. Anyone out here from Hawaii? I know Rick S. from west-wind is out there, but looks like he's on a different island...

Wow! Did this come about suddenly or did you just wait to announce it? IAC, that is really exciting. What kind of work are you going to be doing? (You're not switching to, uh, horticulture, are you? LOL)

I have only been to Hawaii once, on my honeymoon, so am no kind of expert. I can tell you Honolulu is very touristy but the old, unspoiled Hawaii is still around, especially on the other islands. (Rick is on Maui, BTW).

I am excited for you!
