内容简介
Everything in this annual volume represents in one way or another
our own experience or opinions. This is not to say that we have
personally eaten in every restaurant, slept in all the hotels, and taken
every new tour offered over the past 12 months, although we certainly
do a lot of that kind of thing. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, "We
know the territory."
If you re looking for mistakes, well, we re sure you ll find a few
authentic Boners (as well as a couple of bad puns). This is the
eleventh edition of the first book in a series of guides to Pacific parts
of the world. (The others are The Maverick Guide to New Zealand and The
Maverick Guide to Australia.) For this reason, we would like your help. If
you see an error or note a change in any entry since we investigated it,
we d appreciate it tremendously if you would send the information to
us in care of the publisher. You may thereby become one of our most
critical editors for subsequent editions. (Use the special letter-envelope
on the back page, or write us reams in your own envelope.) Incidentally,
we try very hard to answer every letter that we receive.
Let it not be said here that you cannot visit Hawaii without a
guidebook. Lots of people do. There are plenty of guided tours that
begin by strapping you in on the Mainland and that don t let you off
the leash again until you re back home. And there are other visitors
who say they do not intend to leave the beach (ouch!) for the entire
length of their sun-drenched vacation.
There are also many hotel desk clerks and tour guides to direct you
to places in which they or their companies have financial interests. You
can get along with these recommendations--in the same way that an
automobile that is designed to run more smoothly on low-cost regular
gasoline gets along only jerkily when it is fed expensive, high-test
fuel instead.
But we want to keep you rolling smoothly and economically, while at
the same time gently guiding you along adventuresome beaches and
byways. There you can find your own individual fun, as we have done,
here in the Hawaiian Islands.
