SC gets snow sometimes, but NC has a couple ski areas, they ll definitely have snow. You don t have to lodge there, you can just go ski for the day and stay wherever you want. The only free skiing is if you hike up a mountain yourself, but of course you need gear anyways, and rentals also cost money.You should ski or board for the day, get a lesson (there are lesson+rental+lift ticket packages). You ll have a blast
well its not close but MINNESOTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!�� we have lots and lots of snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! an endless supply!!!!!!!!!!!!! Report Abuse
1. Hike in the rain forest or jungle. Bring strong Tevas or other open footwear (that won t break!) that can take walking through wet, slippery soil, and wear repellent! Check out Manoa Falls, a short hike through the rain forest to a falls-and-pool including a bamboo forest. There are other great hikes too.http://www.hawaiiweb.com/html/hiking/man��2. Snorkeling to see the tropical fish in the tropical coral reefs, sea turtles (if lucky) and moray eels (if lucky) at Hanauma Bay Preserve. Rent snorkel equipement (don t buy in case the mask doesn t fit and leaks water) from Snorkel Bob s the big snorkeling rental chain on the island. There is a small stand on the beach itself to rent equipment, they also give lessons (not expensive)http://www.honolulu.gov/parks/facility/h��3. Rent a car for a day or two (if you won t have one the whole time) and drive around the island, onto the windward (wet, tropical) side of the island to the North Shore to watch the professional surfers. You are going during professional surfing season (Vans Triple Crown!), so traffic and parking a bit tight but worth watching a bit at Sunset Beach or Banzai Pipeline, depending on where the contest is. Sun bathe at Waimea Beach. Stop at the funky little surfing town of Haleiwa afterwards to get a large Hawaiian Shave Ice (NOT a snow cone, much finer ice, better syrup) at Matsumoto s (most popular) or Aoki s (next door, where I go).4. The most beautiful beaches are on the windward side, near the towns of Kailua and Kaneohe. Go to Lanikai Beach, the classic white-sand/blue water view without the crowds of Waikiki.5. If you are unfamiliar with Polynesian and Hawaiian culture, you may want to spend the day at the Polynesian Cultural Center on the windward side of the island, where they have different pavilions for the different major Polynesian cultures (Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, etc.). Think of a South Seas Epcot . There is a luau here at night that is decent, but no alcohol is served (depending on your age!) as the Center is run by the Mormon Church.6. If you are unfamiliar with hula and are not going to go to a luau (you should go once, but a bit pricey at $80-$100 / person), see a performance at many hotels. I classic is seeing Kanoe Miller (former Miss Hawaii) at the House Without A Key at the Halekulan Resort in Waikiki.7. You should also check out Hawaiian music, the most popular being Keali i Reichel (smooth, easy listening) and Iz (greatest modern Hawaiian folk singer, sadly recently died from extreme obesity).http://www.google.com/search?q=keali%27i��http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_YfyKahP��8. If you have a car, drive to Nuuani Pali Point on the Pali Highway in back of downtown Honolulu to the windward side. Along the way, there is a cutoff to a frontage road called the Old Pali Road which goes through a small rain forest, reconnects further up. You will then see the turnoff to the lookout which has one of the most spectacular views in Hawaii. There is good hiking here as well.9. Have you considered surfing lessons? Waikiki has perfect surfing waves with a nice sandy bottom if you wipe out. The best known school in Waikiki (your hotel concierge would probably recommend them anyway) is the Hans Hedemenn Surf School.http://www.hhsurf.com/hh/10. The shopping in Waikiki is fairly expensive, the locals all opt to shop in the Ala Moana Shopping Center which is adjacent to Waikiki on the west side, past the Hilton Hawaiian Village and Ilikai.11. If you want to buy yourself a tropical flower/orchid lei to wear at night with your resort wear, drive to downtown Honolulu, to Mauna Kea Street x Beretania Street (next to the chinatown). It is full of little florists that hand-string flower leis each day, you can buy an orchid lei for as little as $5 to $7. Go to the Mauna Kea Marketplace food stalls for a view of tropical fruit and food you won t see elsewhere within the USA!!http://www.cindysleishoppe.com/12. While you are going around the island, there is an amazing japanese temple in the mountains, in back of the town of Kaneohe which is amazing (even though it is strangely located in back of a cemetary...don t let that put you off!)http://gohawaii.about.com/od/oahusights/��13. Don t forget to eat at Duke s one night. Not that expensive, considering it is right on Waikiki Beach!!http://www.dukeswaikiki.com/static/index��And of course, there is Pearl Harbor (go early for tickets) the Bowfin WWII submarine, Iolani Palace (the only royal palace in the USA), and Bishop Museum (to see real Hawaii artifacts).With all the things to do, don t forget to sit on the beach at Wakiki ;-) !!!
Every weekend my husband and kids go to the North Shore for surfing and shopping, we have a house there and it s very fun for the kids, we also go the Ala Moana mall and go shopping, we live in Waianae, so we re pretty far from the city, so going to Waikiki and shopping or going to the beach is fun for us.
Xantera doesn t pay very well. But I did something similar in Glacier Park a number of years ago, and there was no charge for living quarters and meals. In my case the living quarters were dorm style . Some places allow for your personal RV, but you have to rent the space.
