APEC is coming to Waikiki!

Plan for traffic Tues. Nov 8 - Sun. Nov 13

Thanks to Laura Tefft for the info:
It would be a good idea to recommend that parents allow much extra time for commuting to and from Waikiki school.  It's recommended that travelers access Waikiki either via Kapahulu Avenue or via Kilauea/Monsarrat Avenues.  Several bus routes will also be detoured onto Kapahulu Avenue.  The general word on the street is that Kapahulu is the recommended route in and out of Waikiki, so we'll need to plan ahead!

The second link illustrates the Kapahulu recommendation.
