What kind of attire do people wear to work in Honolulu?
Do most business professionals wear shirts, ties, pants, etc. like any other city in the country? I'm sure things may be a little more lax, but I'm assuming that most business professionals have to wear the standard appropriate clothing year round. It seems like the weather is fairly constant throughout the year. How hot does it get? Would it be any more uncomfortable to have to wear pants year round than anywhere else? I live in NYC and will be moving. I'm used to wearing pants during out summers which are hot and humid and its tolerable. I'll be going to graduate school and then working in HI, so most likely I'll wear pants to work/class everyday. Opinions? By the way, I'll wear pants to class because I have tattoos on my legs, that I don't really want showing while at school.

Answer 1 :
Dressy pants and the typical "aloha" shirt are considered to be normal business attire.
Answer 2 :
The majority of businesses have the same dress requirements as the ones on the mainland. Temperatures in Hawaii usually stay in the 70's to 80's year round in most parts.
Answer 3 :
Slacks, like Dockers are good. For shirts, usually an aloha shirt or a short-sleeved button down. Depending on your office or school, polo style shirts are okay, too. Below are two vendors of aloha wear here in Hawaii. Reyns' items are nice, usually muted colors. Hilo Hattie is usually a bit brighter, but some of the designs are a little more fun. Enjoy the classes!
Answer 4 :
The only people who wear coats & ties are attorneys & the local newscasters. I am a nurse & when we see a doctor in a coat & tie, it means either that they are going to court or onto one of the local morning news programs. Nice slacks and an aloha shirt or polo type shirt are almost always acceptable.
Answer 5 :
I occasionally see sport jackets or suits and dress shirts with ties in the business district, but you always assume these people are attorneys. The court room is the only place where that seems to me the norm. We had "Casual Fridays" long before the phrase was coined. Nice aloha shirts with dress slacks are pretty much the standard for most men. I suggest you take a day and sit in Tamarind Square during lunch time. This is in the heart of the downtown business district, and you can people watch to get a feel for what is acceptable.

Answer 1 :
GPS, the G is for Global. so I'm guessing yes.
Answer 2 :
It depends on what maps are supported by/loaded into your GPS. We had a Garmin (it was stolen here on Oahu) and it worked fine in Hawaii.
Answer 3 :
It would probably work here, but beware, sometimes they can be a little screwy on an island. Some may be programmed to just take you the most direct route from point "A" to point "B", and you would be surprised the way they take you. Check with your rental car company...most already have them installed.
Answer 4 :
GPS works fine here. It's a target for thieves, so be careful to hide it after you park.
Answer 5 :
yeah, garmin is awesome
Answer 6 :
It should. I know that when we bring our GPS units to the mainland they seem to work fine. Good luck and happy travels!
Answer 7 :
Yes, it will work in Hawaii. It will work anywhere in the USA in all 50 states. Thats why most truck drivers use GPS when they need to find there way around. So yes it will work in hawaii.

Answer 1 :
You have to be 15 to get a worker's permit here, so legal work is not an option (unless you want to go do farm work). You can work under the table for a food place, or deliver papers, or something like that.

If so how would you travel from island to island?

Answer 1 :
I think you'd have to take a plane (ticket costs about $160 round-trip). There was going to be a superferry that went between Honolulu and Kona, but that hasn't happened yet.
Answer 2 :
Well, if you are really rich and need to go to the office about once week, that might work. Traveling between islands involves flights (expensive, time consuming), and is not exactly a commute for regular folks. This might work for you if you are a film star, rock idol, or other gazillionaire. Other than that, not so much.
Answer 3 :
Not realistically on a daily basis. It's about a 30-45 minute flight between the two, not including your time getting to the airport and waiting for your flight. It might work if you didn't physically need to be in Honolulu daily, and otherwise you'd reaaaally have to get a good system down with transport and everything -- likely including something like your own limo driver. Anyway, generally speaking, no, you can't really live in Kona and pursue regular, daily work in Honolulu.
