Topic: GROCERIES ON WAY TO HOUSE -- Costco off Hina Lani Street

Unless you are pooped, you will be driving right by one of the best places to stock up as you come from the airport and first go to the house [assuming you take our recommended directions].

We recommend that you exit the airport (turning right toward Kailua on Highway 10 or Queen Kaahumanu Highway) and take the SECOND street turn on your left which is Hina Lani.

As you go up Hina Lani, take the SECOND turn on your right which is Kamanu Street.

Toward the end of Kamanu Street there is a right turn onto Maiau Street -- but you should see Costco even before turning onto Maiau Street -- their massive parking lot, the tire and battery install department and the gas pumps are right there as Costco is set down from the height of Kamanu and should be very obvious.

You can pick up suntan oil, steaks, salad mixes, vegetables, snacks, trail mix, beach towels, sodas, beer and liquor, local foods, Hawaii related books, film, digital memory cards, snorkel masks and fins, etc. They also have film processing, pharmacy -- and we keep saying it: the cheapest gas this side of the island!

If you are travelling down from the house. From Hao Kuni, when you reach the top at Palani Road, take a left. Travel until you see Hina Lani which has its own stoplight, and turn left and go down the hill. As you approach the bottom, there are only two streets that run to your left, take the first one which is Kamanu Street.
