You can also call: The CAB 808–422–2222 Charley’s Taxi 808–233–3333 City Taxi 808–524–2121 EcoCab 808–979–1010

TheBUS Route and schedule information 808–848–5555 Website: theBUS.org O‘ahu’s bus system, logically dubbed “TheBUS,” offers island-wide service. The cost for a one-way fare is $2.50 for adults and $1.25 for elementary and high school students; exact change is required. People carrying large suitcases or baggage are not allowed on TheBUS. Riders are allowed to transfer to any connecting line as long as it is going in the same general direction. Request a transfer slip from the bus driver when you board the bus. A $35 4-day pass can be bought from ABC Stores in Waikīkī and the Ala Moana Shopping Center. This may be a good option for attendees relying on the bus for transportation during their stay.

Restaurant Guide There is no shortage of dining guides to be had in a tourist town like this one, and here is yet another. The NFLRC restaurant guide has evolved over more than two decades with you, the hungry participant, in mind. We deem you to be adventurous, ecologically-minded, and not particularly wealthy (with an occasional craving for something really bad for you). Actually, that describes rather well the people who put this together. We tried to include a little of everything. We always appreciate your input by way of additions, updates, comments, and criticisms.
Breakfast in Paradise Get up early and enjoy the pleasures of a leisurely breakfast. Possibilities exist for all tastes and budgets. Here are a few recommendations. HEAVENLY Island Life Style $$
342 Seaside Ave
923–1100
Pick up some hot malasadas and coffee and take them down the road to Waikīkī or Kaimana Beach. Introduced to the islands by Portuguese immigrants, malasadas are holeless donuts sprinkled with sugar and served hot. Ono (Hawaiian for ‘delicious’)! Hau Tree Lanai $$$ 2863 Kalākaua Ave
921–7066
Outdoor tables, nestled under the hau tree, look right out at Kaimana Beach and the ocean. They serve a very good eggs Benedict as well as omelets and specialties like poi pancakes. Located in the New Otani Hotel, this is the perfect place to have a special breakfast.
A Special Dinner Try Hawai‘i’s special brand of East-meets-West cuisine at one of these restaurants. All have very nice atmospheres and are more pricey than your everyday dinner (entrees are from $25–50 per person). The place to go for a treat or a special occasion. Alan Wong’s
