I am heading over to Hawaii for a wedding November 19,
I was looking to try and go to a Hawaii college football game while over there

anyone done this?
if so worth it?

cheers

I havent done it, but if I had the opportunity to go to any college game, I'd take it.

Aloha Stadium is supposed to be good too. Thats where they play the Pro Bowl every year.

Don't know of the ticket availability for that College but some college stadiums are unbelievable.

Notre Dame have 80,000 seat stadium that is used for 6 home games a season!

Some college stadiums hold more people than the actual town they are located in. Clemson University's stadium is one example.

when the wife went with her friends couple years ago she went when pro bowl was on, would've been awesome to go to
but I reckon im gonna try get some tickets for a game
I think theres 2 on while we are there,
would be an insane experience.

because I missed the nfl season when in America, I wanna try catch a college game.
wouldn't mind catchin a college basketball game too.
might have to suss out stub hub again.

What else do you plan on doing over there? How long are you staying?

Wife and I spent a few weeks visiting Oahu, Kauai and Big Island last year.

We are over there for 3 weeks in total.
There for a wedding, but we are also going on a cruise for a week which goes to all the islands.
and we are over there for our 1 year wedding anniversary, so gonna stay in a pretty swanky place for a couple nights before we come home.


I am limited to what I can do because of leg, surgeon pretty much said I would just have to spend most the time at bar drinking, which I thought was a pretty good suggestion.

Doctor orders we can all follow provided you don't stack it pissed and end up having to give him more work

Don't spend too long on Waikiki Beach mate, very touristy and overpriced, lots of homeless. The north shore of Oahu is amazing. The cruise to the other islands is a good idea.

I'm surprised you can even fly - you'd have to wear the ol' DVT stockings or the skins on the plane?

should have the all clear to fly by then,
dr said I should be ok but next visit we check to see if all blood clots are gone etc
but yeah I still gotta wear those socks n shit on flights
and maybe take blood thinners a day or two before and after flights just to be safe

How you getting there - Jetstar, QANTAS (codeshare on a Jetstar plane, natch), Hawaiian?

I've been fantasizing about taking the clan to Hawaii for a while now, but first need to overcome my innate fear of Jetstar flights. Does Jetstar's international service compare with its domestiv service? Is there any benefit to flying Jetstar as a QANTAS passenger?

Ive flown Jetstar to Bali before and never again. Try to avoid them domestically if possible and definately wouldnt go to Hawaii on one

Hawaii is amazing, we went on our honeymoon in January this year. Stayed 4 nights in Waikiki at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Was a massive hotel and we really enjoyed Waikiki, can see why some people don't like it if they stayed further back from the beach, but if you have the $ stay right on the beach,

We then flew to Maui for 3 nights and stayed at the Andaz at Wailea and it was incredible. Very very expensive but a great hotel, great service and awesome food. Look it up and once again if you want to splash the cash this place is awesome.

Flew back to Honolulu and went up to the north shore and loved it. We stayed at Turtle Bay resort and it was breath taking.

Any questions, hit me up

We went via Auckland with Air New Zealand, not sure how much difference there is $$$ wise but they were awesome.
