How much does it cost to move from Indianapolis, Indiana to Honolulu, Hawaii?
I am planning on moving from Indianapolis, Indiana to Honolulu, Hawaii in the next two years. I want to take my car as well (Smart car) and a two bedroom apartment work of clothes and collectibles. I will not be taking any furniture as I will more than likely end up renting an already furnished apartment when I get there. What is this going to cost me to get from the Midwest to the islands? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1 :
If you type "moving to hawaii" in google you get many links on the subject;) http://www.to-hawaii.com/moving-to-hawaii.php
Answer 2 :
Flights cost from Indiana to Hawaii typically range from $590 to $635 depending on the airline. I hope this helps.
Answer 3 :
This is my standard answer that I give. There are good things about living in Hawaii and there are some not so good thing about living in in Hawaii. Living here is not a 24/7 vacation there are no grass shacks on the beach. I say this because people come here expecting it. And when they find out the truth they go back to the mainland disappointed and complaining about Hawaii. Oahu is the most populated. There are areas where it really crowded. And other areas where it less crowded. The weather great it does not get bellow 60 degrees. Hawaii is expensive. Ninety percent of everything is shipped in this is the main reason it cost more. Gas prices are in the high three dollar range. Visiting Hawaii is different then living here when you visit you don't pay rent or utilities. Right now our unemployment rate is quite high . If you want to work in tourism it good to know another language. With out an college education you will need to work more than one minimum wage job to survive. Our Public Educational system is lacking. It goes way beyond the Furlough Fridays. Hawaii is just as safe as anywhere else maybe safer. That is not to say Hawaii does not have crime. One of out biggest problems is with illegal drugs .We have everything the mainland has except for a few restaurants and stores. The water that surrounds us does not make much of a difference. No Daylight Savings Time we never move out clock forward or back. We have an excellent bus system on Oahu. If you are willing to take the time then it will cut down on gas costs. You can have car but you might want to take the bus most of the time and use a car only when really needed. Right now gas is in the mid to high three dollar range. I have seen gas at $3.49. Hawaii is one of most culturally diverse place in America. We have several cultures here. Hawaiians being the most obvious. We also have a diverse Asian population; Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese (sp?). All these culture differ. And it is best if you learn the differences. If you love food Hawaii is one of the best places to be. Due to our many cultures we have many different kinds of food. Try them all. Since we have many different cultures in Hawaii there are many set of "rules" all of them slightly different. Make an effort to learn. When you make an effort to learn the the differences then you will be accepted. There is racism in Hawaii, racism is everywhere. Some of the racism is aimed at Whites. Racism at White is not all that common so you will get Whites saying that all Locals and or Hawaiian are racist. That is not true. The Locals and Hawaiians who are racist toward Whites tend to be racist against other cultures. Racism is not right. But it does exist. Not everybody who lives in Hawaii is Hawaiian. To be Hawaiian to must have Hawaiian blood. Or be of Hawaiian ancestry. If you are like me and have lived in Hawaii all their life but have no Hawaiian blood you are considered a Local. We also have a dialect of Pidgin Creole English. Or it is called Pidgin for short. This language was created during the plantation days. We had workers from all over Asia and the Pacific they all spoke different languages and the needed a way to communicate. So a new language grew and was created.There a some who hear Pidgin an the equate it with lack of intelligence. Do not do this! Then there is what can be called "Rock Fever" some people tend to feel trapped because they can't drive anywhere else but Hawaii. There is no way you can drive into another state. If you need to fly home to the Mainland then 1) take more time because you have to fly over an ocean first. 2) Will cost more because you have
Answer 4 :
Contact shipping companies like Matson for quotes. You'll probably have to load up a shipping container and then get it to a shipping port (and delivered on the other end). By the time you include your own airfare and everything, you're probably looking at a few thousand... plus whatever you need to survive in the early months until you better settle in.

How much is the pay at a Honolulu Hotel?
I've been trying to move to Honolulu for a while now, the only thing keeping me is that I need to find a second job. I've wondered what it's like to work in a hotel and after researching a bit i've found different answers. Being that Honolulu is a big tourist place, let's say I magically got a job at a local hotel.. How much would the pay be?

Answer 1 :
Depends on the hotel but they are having trouble filling rooms. Occupancy rates are way down and all of the hotels are having to discount so hiring is not a priority right now.
Answer 2 :
You may two jobs like a lot of locals do to make ends meet. The best thing might be getting a job on the mainland that would allow you to transfer. Then find a place to live before you move here. Use friends or family to help you find a place or to live with until you can get your own place! Good luck!

Answer 1 :
I'd love to see Hawaii, and have been to neither, but I would venture to guess Seattle. Mainly because of cost of living and many travel (for vacation/exploring) opportunities. Believe me, I'd love to go to Hawaii for a few months, but I would think you'd be limited on what you can do/places to go if you live there. You'll be going from beautiful 80's weather to temperate, alot of gloom. I'd love to see Seattle too!!!!!!!
Answer 2 :
It really depends on your personality. But I mean... Honolulu is paradise, and it'll be hard to adjust to the weather. Seattle's a really cool place though. It's a really important part of music history, and would be a very cool place to grow up. I saw it on a list and it was number one for having the healthiest people. There's not really a crime rate issue either.
Answer 3 :
Seattle is an amazing city w/ great places to eat, awesome outdoor activities, and really amazing elementary schools like The bilingual John Stanford International School. You just need to ask yourself how much you like the rain. They call it rain city for a reason :D If you love the rain then I would definitely suggest Seattle.
Answer 4 :
I've never been to Seattle but I've been told that it's drizzly and cloudy a lot of the time. If you can stand that, then I would imagine it's not too bad a place to live. It's not cheap to live there, though, but then again neither is Honolulu. I did live in Hawaii at one time years ago so I have a pretty good idea of what Honolulu is like.
Answer 5 :
hono! unless you like rain!
Answer 6 :
I live in Honolulu. I like Seattle to visit, but I honestly don't think I could take the Seattle weather. I was there several years back in June for a conference. It was SO cold & rainy. The last day I was there, the sun came out & it was just lovely.
Answer 7 :
it depends...how close to your family and friends are you on oahu? i moved from maui to washington in 2006 and i get homesick every now and then but i know i can go back as much as i can afford to and hawaii will always be my home no matter what! seattle rains a lot and is cold so you're gonna definitely miss the sun and the beach. your child is gonna love the snow! the lake that some people call the beach is NOTHING compared to the ocean. you might have more opportunities up here in washington because it's so much bigger than the little island your on. i say you should go for it! im sure your husband will make more money with his new job opportunity. i dunno know how much it costs to live in seattle. there's no tax on groceries! i like that...lol. non-food items and prepared food have an almost 9% tax. change can do good. your child is still young so moving will not do too much harm. we have a 5 year old and a 3 year old and they adapted just fine! better than i have. a lot of people from the islands are up here. there are canoe clubs, hula halaus, hawaiian restaurants, the hawaii general store (poi is flown in fresh every thursday from oahu and they have all kine local goodies, hawaiian print clothes, hawaiian music and fresh leis...they even have a little travel agency that will help you go home anytime!), uwajimiya(for island kine foods.), even get concerts with groups from the islands like ekolu guys. you can always go back to oahu if things don't work out. whatever you decide to do...i wish you the best of luck! take care and aloooooha! edit...oh and i forgot to say. the only thing we had with my 5 year old neice and her school was that her teacher told her she needs to learn how to speak english. my neice said she had to make shi-shi...lol. cannot help if that's how she was taught...that or i gotta pee. so at home she talks normal and in school she trys to say that she has to go to the potty. edit again...LoL! thanks rebecca!
Answer 8 :
honolulu is the best place ever. I went. You will have so much fun! You can also climb volcanoes.
Answer 9 :
LOL!! Maui_Gurl, Funny about your niece! (thumbs up for you!!
Answer 10 :
As a teacher here in the mailand, I would teach my kids (students) the Hawaiian ways. What the kids lack here in the mainland, Hawaii try to imprint it to our keikis. I teach my kids with honor and respects, along of course with their academical courses. I don't know how it is in Seattle - haven't been there for a long time, but I would assume there is no differences in all the Coastal places. For me, Hawaii school system is more favorable, or the Catholic schools in the mainland would be my other choices.

About Is it possible to work at about like two different zoos
Is it possible to work at about like two different zoos?
Is it possible to work at like about two different zoos? well is it? The reason why i'm asking is because some of you may know that some day i'll like to become a professional animal trainer and work a lot with animals but i've always wanted to work at the los angeles zoo because it's like my favorite zoo and all and probably the only zoo i've had ever been to lol, i've always dreamed of living in the city of los angeles considering that, that's where i'm from and love it a lot out there but i've always had a dream of living in hawaii as well and recently i've been wanting to work at the honolulu zoo too and also work a lot and improve and help build more enclosures and do a lot of new stuff at the zoos for the animals but i'm wondering is it possible to work at like about two zoos even if there in different states like could they have me or put me on a "certain" shift to go back and forth to the zoos, would they allow that? and i'm even considering buying a house in l.a. and in hawaii if I have enough money for that kind of stuff but anyways is there any possible way that I could work at both zoos?

Answer 1 :
Doubtful. As the animals you would have to take care of require daily care, they require daily keepers. Honestly it is an impossibly hard profession to get a job in, apply at both and you will be lucky to get a position at one of them. Stay with that one.
Answer 2 :
Well, ya i guess but 1 is plenty, trust me it is fun but scooping up poo and washing them, on average you would spend 8-10 hours for each job so, and you would get paid not very good, and that is 16-20 hours of your 24 hour day. So you can if you want but i only worked at one and turned out one of the top 5 most famous zoologists in the world, i have been in 3 magazines and have been on TV 6+ times for my zoology field and also have a doctors master degree and am studding marine biology and i am only 23 years old. I started collage at 17.
Answer 3 :
Very difficult to get into either zoo. You'll need an education, research time, and start out at smaller zoos working your way up if successful.
Answer 4 :
Uh, sorry but you would have to work at a profession that pays A LOT more than a zoo to buy a house in LA AND Hawaii. Good luck even affording rent on a zoo salary. Jobs working with animals typically don't pay well. People go into this profession for their love and passion of animals, NOT the money they will make. Good luck even getting a job at ONE zoo...these jobs are HIGHLY competitive. Also, most zoos don't have much use for animal trainers..those are for entertainment parks like Sea World, etc. Why don't you first worry about getting an education and a degree for this kind of work and then you can worry about the rest.
