Troubles can occur even in Haw FROM PAGE 38 I've never encountered a . problem with reservations - in fact, once when our flight | was delayed twelve hours _ and we arrived in Honolulu after midnight, the hotel refunded one-days rental. That was the Beachcomber in Waikiki. A couple of readers questioned some of the restaurant bills I quoted. I assured them they were right -- and I’ve. got the Chargex bills to prove it. I also requested - and was given - a . menu from nearly everywhere we ate, just to refresh my memory later on. \ Everyone agreed. that grocery shopping in Hawaii is a shattering experience. We decided that next trip we'd bring a lot of staples from home -_ coffee, packaged soups, crackers, tea, coffee creamer, Cereal, spices, etc. We bought Single-serving tins of “Chunky” soup for the kids from Foodland in Kihei. Seventy - nine cents! The Same thing is only 53 cents here. If you are shopping for fresh fruit, try the Paradise Market, directly behind . MacDonalds on South Kihei Road. They will pare and core your pineapples for you at nd extra charge. We found their prices lower, too. When you buy papaya from them, they ask you when you want to cat it, and then choose one that will be exactly ripe when you want | it. I was questioned about luaus.

The Hawaiian dancers are the same as the show in the Long-house and - are quite good. 2. The Intercontinental: A reader wrote that the valuc is good, but. the style is disappointing. The food is served to you on a plate with no ceremony at all. They didn’t see the pig or the - buffet table. They liked the show. A word of advice - if it’s raining, the Maui Lu move the luau imside to the -‘Longhouse. This crowds out the regular diners until quite late’ in the evening. It's better to dine elsewhere on these nights. - Dear Barbara: This summer, my mother planned to take my daughter with her to Europe oa a tour of 14 days.

She is a healthy, outgoing, normal, Answer: Your most im- portant travelling with.. young children is FATIGUE. It is essential th.. kids get enough sleep when they travel. For this reason, an organized tour where you must keep up with the group isn’t the best idea. Often I've had to completely reorganize my plans to give one of my children a day to rest. I'd advise your mother to ask for a bulkhead scat on the planc as there is extra room on the floor to make a bed for the child. A few hours sleep on the flight will be a great help.
