Oahu Vacation Packages – Ko-Olina, the Perfect Resort Destination

Ko-Olina has everything to make it the perfect luxury resort destination. A picturesque coastline with translucent tropical lagoons, entrenched with the Waianae Mountains, nature left nothing to chance to make it the perfect spot for royal entertainment. The lagoons, numbering the mystical seven, are like a string of jewels that nature put together, connecting them with 1 Ë miles of seaside pathways. The glittering white sand beaches complete the setting, add to it perfect year round weather, and you can ask for no more perfection.

With the wide open Pacific Ocean on one side and the high mountains on the others, it has a rarefied secluded air about it self. Once ensconced in its luxury you can’t imagine its proximity to the towns of Honolulu and Waikiki. Infact once there you need think of nothing else. This place has all the aspects of luxury that your heart may desire.

A luxurious award-winning resort and spa, a premiere golf course, a 43 acre marina and high end luxury apartments on a spectacular coast line, are what the humans added to this paradise. Each new addition here seems to redefine the term “luxury”. No wonder that it has some of the most sought-after residential resort communities.

JW Marriott Ihiliani Resort and Spa is the playground of the elite. This is where the NFL meets every year to prepare for the Pro Bowl. It is the ultimate in luxury, with every facility that you may want. It is among the most luxurious resorts of the world. An 18-hole championship golf course is also linked to this resort.

The Ko-Olina golf course is a premiere golf club designed by Ted Robinson. This is where the senior PGA and LPGA golf tournaments were hosted. The golf club has a restaurant and bar on the grounds. It also boasts of a day spa. The golf club is easily accessible from the resort and the marina.

Ko-olina has a state-of-the-art marina too. The 43 acre marina is used both by the sport fishermen and the recreational boater. It has 330 full service slips, a general store and a fuel dock too. The service slips are a story of luxury with every facility that you may want for a complete holiday. You can indulge in many ocean sports and other recreational activities. You may even like to take a sunset cruise on the Ko-Olina catamaran. You can snorkel, sail or cruise to your hearts content.

The marina is a beautiful and luxurious space set along the leeward side of Oahu. It has access to the Marriott, golf course and is only a short drive away from the best restaurants in town. The marina allows you to indulge yourself in luxury while you enjoy the various facilities offered by it.

Ko-Olina is a Hawaiian word that translates to “The place of Joy”. There is no doubt that nature and man have both conspired together to make it exactly that a place of joy. You can truly relive the spirit of true aloha with perfect weather, out door activities, ocean sports and luxury personified.

Helpful Hints For Your Zip Line Adventure

Zip lines can now be found everywhere from the back woods to amusement parks. Why the zip line explosion? Because it is the closest thing to flying without needing wings!

Here we are going to focus on how to prepare for a zip line experience in a natural setting, not the packaged amusement park type. The best zip line experiences allow you so soar through the treetops and experience nature from a point of view few people have seen. We suggest that you bring:

– Clothing that is comfortable, appropriate for the weather and that you won’t mind getting a bit dirty.
– Work gloves (many zip line operator will provide you with these, check ahead of time).
– A water bottle.
– Sunscreen and lip balm (SPF 15+ please).
– Bug repellent – you are visiting their world and they get a bit curious.
– A small camera.
– A light backpack.
– Closed toe shoes that are secure on your feet. If a shoe falls off, it may be very difficult to get down to retrieve it and dangerous to go without it. Bottom line – your guide may get grumpy when they have to figure out how to get it back!

Remember, you will be high off the ground in a natural environment. Pay close attention to your guides as they will not only make sure you have a great time, but also will keep you safe. They will explain how to properly fit your helmet and harness. If you are not 100% clear on their use, please ask! They will also explain safety procedures on the course. Some of them may seem silly (like calling out commands and responses) but they are vitally important to your safety. Do them exactly as instructed, every time. You may also learn how to slow yourself on some lines.

Most zip line adventures take place rain or shine so be prepared to get hot and/or wet. If lightning is in the area, you will probably leave the course until it has passed so if the forecast calls for storms, plan for extra time.

Understanding Important Restaurant Location Requirements

You will probably discover some of the location requirements that you will need to meet in scouting out locations for your restaurant or bar but you also need to do further research to make sure that your building and your business will comply with the local requirements from the health department, the water department, the sewer people, the trash people, the fire department and anyone else who has a stake in your operating a safe and code compliant business.

Once again by making the effort to understand the rules you can be sure you will meet them and you will have shown your credibility to the funding sources that you know what you’re talking about and that you’ve done your homework.

Nothing will sink your chances of getting a restaurant project off the ground faster than attempting to pitch someone for money only to have them tell you that for one reason or another you won’t be able to open your restaurant or start your bar because of some limitation that you weren’t even aware of but that they happen to know.

Encounters like this shoot your credibility and reduce your chances to practically zero of being able to actually get them to release any money to you because what you’ve shown is that you haven’t done your homework and if you’re not even aware of a simple rule that would keep you from doing what he thought you could do then what other mistakes and problems might you have already overlooked that would put their money at risk?

These rules and requirements are simple enough to find out by just doing some basic research online and in person and even more so by talking to experts in the field who can tell you what’s required and make sure that you are going to be compliant when the time comes to either outfit your location or otherwise get yourself set up to open your restaurant business. Taking the time to do this is a huge credibility builder and shows that you’re serious and someone who is going to make the effort it requires to do things the right way.

As we’ve said before investors are looking for the best return with the least risk and by showing them you know what you are talking about and have handled the details they will feel more comfortable about the overall riskiness of the project and be much more likely to invest. Just think of it as doing homework for dollars and it won’t seem like work at all.
