Hi -

Since it's already October, time to think about the major show in Hawaii that is held in October/November each year.

Anyone else planning to attend? Raeleen and I will be there. Last year we had a great time.

    From memory Wei, you were there for only a few hours last year, right?

    I was in the state two nights, at the show a few hours. Had some non coin shopping and other stuff to do last time.

    I've always wanted to try this show, but I keep hearing mixed reviews. And I'm not sure how well copper will sell in Hawaii since it is a humid state which is not conducive to collecting copper. I'd love to hear any reviews about this show, from both collectors and dealers.

    Florida is at least as humid as Hawaii, and definitely more humid than Hawaii in the summer months, (which is April-September in the FUN Fla. region, and much longer in Miami)

    Not sure what your point is?

    Hawaii has a good show. The convention center is top notch and conveniently located. I've often heard dealers say the show is worthwhile, but it helps if you plan to use the show to reward yourself for a good year. I think many of the dealers have a side agenda of food, beaches, shopping and other activities that help justify the trip, and many either come a few days early or stay a few days afterward, and many take in an outer-island trip. The weather on Oahu is almost always nice; puts Florida to shame really. If you take out the vacation component of the trip, not sure if the business alone warrants the trip. If you come thinking part business and part play, I doubt you'll regret your decision.

    I wish I could go.
    Maybe one of these years as we go almost yearly to see family, so just need to time it better.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    By far the best show in Hawaii. Many of the dealers have been coming for decades since they have soooooo much fun. I live in paradise so I will having a table there, stop by and say "aloha". Hopefully Wei will stay at the show longer

    I think that's a great idea - thank you for your insights. My birthday is the same weekend as this show, so I already told my husband that next year, I'd like to spend my birthday in Hawaii!

    Not this time. Airfare wasn't an issue but unless Ian wants to spot me a few Starpoints...
