For any of you looking to vacation on the big island now is a great time and airfare has gone back to normal rates again. I know most of you are probably feeling the pinch with the economy (I know we are) so we have decided for now to reduce our nightly rate to $90. We are located in the beautifull sub division of leilani estates which is a palm lovers paradise. We are also getting ready to advertise it on a couple of vacation rental websites but for now we have much availability. Our house is a 3 bedroom 2 bath on 1 acre that can sleep 6 people. Everything in the house is a year or less old. It has a queen size bed, 2 twins and 2 futons. We have dish tv but no internet yet. The house also has 2 lanais for chillin. It is very private and all you will here at night is Coqui frogs and raindrops. If you would like the true rainforest experience PM me or call me at 858-699-0532 and we'll make it happen for ya!

Thanks,

Steve

I'm all on that 'one way' fare stuff, come February that's all I'll be needing.

Too bad you weren't there last week Steve, I would have stopped by.

If we need a break from the big city life in Hilo, I'll let you know. I'll spread

the word around as well.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Paul, See what you started :mrlooney: . Actually the name change is something I have been thinking of doing for a while now. On the members list including myself there are 9 people with the name Steve in their handle! I get Steve in So Cals PM's and he gets mine :rolleyes: . One time I even mistakenly logged in as Steve from So Cal :blink: . So I've decided to change my handle to the name of my nursery biz. Same crazy palm freak...just a differant name :) .
