Whether you’re going to work or Hawaii, after how many hours do you decide that your dog(s) need a doggie daycare, kennel, pet sitter or other accomodations?
Of course, this varies depending on your living situation and individual dog. For example, a 1-year-old Border Collie left alone in an apartment may need a daycare or dog-sitter after a few hours while an owner of a Great Pyrenees living on a ranch may leave the dog overnight or longer (with proper food and care).
Good question.
My fiance and I leave them alone for the day while we are at work (between 6-9 hours). They get one day of doggy day care a week (any more is just too expensive with 2 dogs and a 3rd about to start going after getting spayed). Other than that, they are NEVER left alone. If we need to go somewhere together on the weekend, my sister comes over to be with them.
Call them spoiled… I just feel too bad leaving them alone as much as I do already.
trying to answer an add for maui,hawaii,1 bedroom country cottage e-mail address is havamauitime @yahoo.com
Maybe the email address is printed wrong. Try spelling it a little differently like haveamauitime@yahoo.com. Also, there are tons of Maui condos on VRBO.
I’m going on vacation towards the end of September, and was consider going to Kauai, Hawaii since it looks quite beautiful and relaxing. I’m going by myself, since all my friends are non existent. So from anybody else’s experience, think I’ll have fun going at it alone? Is there enough to do there? I’d be staying for a week.
Also is 1900 a good deal for a week at a hotel with great reviews and a car rental? Thanx in Advanx.
Also (sorry), lol, if not Kauai, anybody have any other suggestions on nice places to go alone on vacation?
If you are a female I would never suggest going on vacation alone. I do have a male friend of mine who went to Kauii along last summer. He fell in love with the place, made many friends and will be moving there once he sells his condominium. Another suggestion for vacation would be a cruise. They have singles cruises as well. My husband and I have cruised over 15 times in the last 4 years and obviously thoroughly enjoy it. You are catered to every moment of the day if you wish and it is very easy to meet people from all over the world.
Good luck!!!
Hi there,
My boyfriend and I are going to Hawaii in February 2009. We won’t have a rental car, so we’ll need to take other means of transportation. We will be in Oahu for 6 days and have most of our activities/transportation planned out. However, in our down time (to explore), I need some help with bus lines.
We will be staying at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki…
1) Where is the closest bus stop to our hotel?
2) Which bus will take us to Kapahulu Avenue and back to our hotel? We have a number of restaurants that we are planning to try on this street (Ono Seafood, Waiola Shave Ice, Ono Hawaiian Foods, Rainbow Drive-In, Leonard’s Bakery, Tokkuri-Tei etc.)
3) Which bus will take us to the Ala Moana Center and back to our hotel?
4) Which bus will take us to Waialae Avenue? We want to try Ninniku Ya Garlic Restaurant at 3196 Waialae Ave.; afterwards, how do we get to Bubbies at 1010 University Ave; then back to our hotel?
5) Are Puka Dog (2301 Kuhio), House Without a Key (2199 Kalia) and Hau Tree Lanai (2863 Kalakaua) all within walking distance from the Hyatt Regency (2424 Kalakaua)?
I know it’s a lot, but i truly appreciate it!!! Thanks a billion, and I can’t wait for this vacation!
There are frequent bus stops in Waikiki. Everything there like House Without a Key etc. are within walking distance. There is a bus that will take you to Waialae Avenue for the Garlic restaurant (very good!) and to University Avenue (that one is #4 University). From the garlic restaurant, to get to Bubbies you take the #1 bus going west and get off at Univ.Ave. From Waikiki, #8 busses and others all go through Ala Moana Center.
You will have no problem–very easy to get around. You can also take the bus to Sea Life Park, which is also a good "tour" of some very scenic areas on the east end.
I want to take my wife on a "honeymoon" (since we didn’t really get a real one) to Hawaii but want to save up enough for us to have fun. I work for an airline so airfare won’t be too high but hotel, food, and rental car are in question. We want to have fun, possibly go in March. We’re not into the snorkeling or scuba diving so that won’t be an expense but we enjoy the beach and sun. What’s an amount to aim for over the next couple months?
You can stay in a condominium, its cheaper in compare to many hotels, go to Maui its cheaper than the other islands and much more to do, so 7 nights studio go about $120.00 a day + taxes cleaning fees. $1,000 towards the room $300,00 for the car, you can get food at supermarket and eat in a restaurant from time to time, maybe only dinner. I ate at Danny’s there and food was very good. I would say about $2000.
Check the followings link for a studio with ocean view or near the beach.
Does anyone have any advice on vacation rentals on the beach in the area of West Palm Beach Florida?
My fiance and I will be honeymooning in Florida in March. We are trying to find a vacation rental, condo, townhome, home etc somewhere in Florida with an ocean view. We are flying into Orlando. I have been looking at vacation rentals in New Smyrna beach and now I have been trying to look in West Palm Beach area but I am not familiar with that part of the state! Any advice would be so greatly appreciated!!
Check out alwaysonvacation.com they specialize in vacation homes and have a lot in Florida.

What a hypocrite. His cult will never see that, though.
I’m planning on going to Hawaii for my Honeymoon in October. I already have free flights to and from Hawaii. Where are good sites/travel agency where I can book a package deal for hotel/condo, rental car and one island hop along with possible tourist attractions while I’m there. I want to stay in Maui for 4 days and Waikiki for 2 days.
This site lists great cheap travel sites: http://www.travelbargainsites.com
l really want to move to Hawaii soon but l have limited resources and l would need to find a job fast, l’ve heard that l can find a job in a farm live in the farm and work there a few hours a day in exchange for the living accomodation. What is that pracise called (working in exchange of living accomodations?) What is the best lsland to find that? Any advice would be helpful.
Finding a job is hard if its outside Oahu on other islands. The economy is really hurt. the job market is about who you know, not what you know. so make friends. Oahu has a lot of jobs, but the cost of living is really expensive!
My wife and I are staying at kamoale sands near Kihei, I haven’t planned any activities to do yet but want to know how to get around the island. We aren’t planning on car rentals for the whole week. Any advice?
You need a rental car for the whole time you are on Maui. There is no significant bus transportation, and taxis every day would cost a fortune. Without a car, all you will be able to do is sit around the pool at your condo or walk to the nearest beach. You could do those things in southern California a lot cheaper than going to Maui. If you are on Maui, you’ll want to see the sights and try the restaurants and experience several different beaches and shop in Lahaina. For all those things you need a car.
There are a dozen good tips on how to get the best price on a Maui rental car on the Car Rental Deals tab of

I’m looking for affordable accommodations near Kapaa Hawaii in early December for my new wife and I. We’ve never been to Hawaii, and have never done the whole vacation rental thing. I’m not sure whether to do a hotel, resort, vacation home rental, or studio rental! Obviously we want to be away from crowds, but don’t want to have to worry about cleaning up after ourselves (as home rentals don’t have daily maids).
At the same time, privacy is a major thing. Not sure if there’s nice rooms at uncrowded resorts/hotels. I’m trying to spend under a hundred dollars per night. It seems that vacation rentals’ cleaning fees end up making the total cost similar to hotel rooms.
I also hear that food is expensive, so we’re looking for something with a kitchen, so that we have that option if necessary. Thanks for any advice!
There are lots of places to stay in Kauai. My wife and I stayed in the Outrigger Waipaloui Resort and Spa. We bought our honeymoon trip as a package on Orbitz.com. The Outrigger is in Kapaa and there is a Safeway grocery store across the street. My wife and I bought some food and since our room had a full kitchen, cooked a lot of meals thereby saving some money. I don’t think the Outrigger will be less than $100 per night but you can see what the price is on the vacation package. My wife and I went in July which is an expensive time and we got our tickets, hotel and rental car for less than $1,600 per person. This was flying out of Cincinnati and staying at the hotel for 6 nights.
The House on Handler Street
Prologue
“Please, Mike don’t rent that house” James pleaded. Mike Slim was renting a house on Handler Street supposedly the house was haunted. But Mike Slim was on vacation and he wanted to give his family a treat. He wanted to rent a very nice house for a week, and the house was very nice. James Morin was the owner of the house, he had explained to Mike that in that house thirty-six people had committed suicide. But Mike did not care he wanted a house that his family would love and what he would also love. He wasn’t in the house now; he was in the house of James Morin. Once James gave him the key to the house he would go back out to his jeep and drive his family to it. Mike got a big grin on his face and said, “I am staying there no matter what just give me the key and I’ll leave you alone. There’s nothing you can do about it. That house was in the phone book in the rental section.” James looked down with a sad look on his face and said “Ok, what ever. But if something happens to you in that house, I will come to your funeral, look into your casket and say I told you so.” James fumbled in his pocket for a second and pulled out a rusted gold key. He handed it to Mike and said, “The address is 1305 Handler Street.” Then Mike turned around and walked out of James house. But he would soon figure out that should have never grabbed that key from James Morin.
Chapter 1
Mike Slim stuck in the key of 1305 Handler Street, turned it and slowly pushed it open. Once it was open his two little daughters, Lily and Virginia, ran past him into the big Victorian style house. The house was white with two stories, it did not look that big on the outside but on the inside it was huge. Mike himself walked in and looked around for a second, then put down his bag and stretched his arms. His wife walked up to him, hugged him, and said, “O thank you honey. I love it and so do the kids” Mike saw his two daughters run down the stairs playing a game of tag. He would have told them to stop running in the house, but it isn’t his house so who cares? He picked his suitcase up again and propped it on the couch and sat next to it. Across from the couch was a big screen TV, he grabbed the remote and turned the TV on. A big football game was on, he pushed two numbers on the remote and yelled for his kids. “Girlies cartoon are on!” A few seconds later the two kids came running in giggling and tripping on their non tied shoelaces. He picked his suitcase up again and walked up the stairs, walked in the master bedroom and put his suitcase on the bed. He started to unpack when his wife, Jenny, walked in and said “Honey, how bout you take some time off me and the kids tomorrow. We have something big planned for our big man” Mike looked at her and said “O baby that would be great thanks” She kissed him and walked back down the stairs. He looked up from the bed and there was a picture above the bed, it was of one green pair and it was on a brown table. It was an ugly painting the pair was old and gross. Mike didn’t like looking at it so he turned away and walked back down the stairs of the house. Once he got downstairs he looked at the table next to the couch where the girls were sitting. There on the table was an old brown gross pair. He walked over to the pair and stared at it. He turned around and yelled for his wife. She walked in and he asked, “Where did you get this pair?” He moved aside so she could see the pair but when he moved she got a mystified look on her face and said “What pair?” Mike turned around and to his surprise the pair wasn’t there.
Chapter 2
Mike had on his lucky Hawaiian flower shirt on. He was driving back to the house from his break day form the kids. He had gone to the beach and a couple of shops and bought a couple of things for the kids. He had also bought a new screwdriver for himself he needed one to fix the TV back at his real home. He the finally pulled up to the house and put his car in park. He got out with the duffle bag in hand with all the stuff he bought. He went up to the door and turned the handle. Nothing happened. The door was locked from the inside. He knocked on the door and called for his wife. Nothing. He started to knock a little harder. Then he decided to call the phone in there. He pulled out his cell phone and called the number, he got the answering machine. It said, “Your family is no longer with us Mr. Slim” It startled him and he dropped the cell phone. He then went to his duffel bag and pulled out his new screwdriver. He ripped off the package and pulled it out. He put in the key slot and turned a couple of times. Then he heard a click, and without any warning the door slowly slid open. He walked in and called for his wife, nothing. He then turned the screwdriver around, so just in case someone was in the house he could stab him or her. He walked in to the kitchen and saw blood everywhere, on the walls, on the ceiling, on the ground. His eyes got wide and his mouth opened wide. He walked over to the kitchen chair and sat down in it. There was still food, maybe that was the surprise, a big dinner. In front of Mike was one single glass of water. Mike didn’t know what happened, and he didn’t want to know. He started to cry when suddenly, one single drip of blood plopped into the glass in front of him. It startled him and he looked up. On the ceiling holding on to the beams of the ceiling was a man wielding a claw hammer. He shielded his face and fell back in his chair, onto his back. He rolled onto his feet and brought the screwdriver up to his face. His eyes were really wide now and now he thinks he should have believed James to not coming into this house. He held the screwdriver tight and ran backwards to the front door. He bumped his back against it and turned around, he turned the handle and nothing happened. He became very frantic and started shaking it and then very violently started banging on the door. Then he remembered the key to the house was on the table next to the couch. He turned around and looked at the table and on it was the gross old ugly pair. He hit it off the table and grabbed the key to the door. He put the key in the door and twisted it, but when he did it broke in half. Then the rest of the key in the door slid into the door. Mike came down to the keyhole and looked in it. He saw nothing just black. He backed away from the door and turned around. His family was all sitting at the kitchen table, but they weren’t real. They looked like they were a telegraphic picture. They were all talking about when Mike was coming home and if he bought them anything. He was wide eyed and in shock so he didn’t move a muscle. Then out of no where the man on the ceiling walked next to him looked at him for a minute then walked past him to the family. He raised his claw hammer and smashed Mike’s wife’s head open. She screamed and fell to the ground. The man then reached over the table and grabbed Lily’s hair and smashed her face in with claw part of the hammer. Virginia then got up from her chair and started to run away. He threw the hammer at her and the claw part stuck into the back of her head. It all happened in one big flash of a second. The man walked over to Virginia’s dead body and pulled the hammer out of her head. He then turned around to face Mike. Mike raised the screwdriver and rushed the man with the hammer. He ran faster then he ever had before. But when he got to the man, he raised the hammer ready to kill Mike as well. Mike shielded his face with his left arm and swung his right arm that had the screwdriver in it. But he went right threw the man and fell over and hit the ground with his face. He turned over on his back and looked up. Nothing was there. He got up and looked around. Nothing was anywhere. The dead bodies of his family were gone and it was just the blood again. He held the screwdriver and walked up the stairs. He went into the master bedroom and sat on the bed. He lay down on the bed and looked up then he noticed the painting above the bed again. He turned around and looked at it carefully. This time instead of a pair on the table it was a human head. It was his wife’s head on the table. He inhaled deeply and jumped on the bed. It was defiantly her head Mike could tell. But it wasn’t normal; on the face she had a huge grin. He took a step backward and tripped over something he fell hard and jumped back up. The face had changed again, this time her face had a little smile on it. Mike walked over to a chair against the wall, picked it up and walked next to the painting. He swung the chair against the painting and the glass around it smashed. The painting fell to the bed and the paper was smudged. Mike picked it up and took the paper out of the holding and crumbled it up. He walked back down stairs to the gas fireplace, switched on the fire, and threw the paper of the painting in it. It slowly burned. Mike turned around and there sitting on the table was his wife’s head. Mike didn’t believe it was there, so he closed his eyes. When he reopened them nothing was there. He turned around again to look at the fire, and above the fireplace was the painting but this time, on the table it was his head.
Chapter 3
Mike took three steps backwards and tripped over something again. He got up slowly again and turned around to face the TV. He grabbed the remote and turned the TV on. The TV screen was blank, and then suddenly the screen blared with blue. Then a picture came up it was of Mike. It was like as if a camera was watching him and now it was playing on the TV. He walked closer to the TV and looked at it. It showed him looking at the TV. He then looked at it more carefully, behind him, was the man with the claw hammer. The man raised the hammer and was about to swing it down on Mike, when he turned around swiftly. Nothing was there. Mike inhaled and turned around to the TV. The TV was blank as if he never turned it on. He walked over to the couch and sat down. Then he thought something. No wonder all those people had killed themselves. Then the TV blared on with sound. It was so loud that Mike couldn’t take it. It was no ordinary sound either; it was like a bird and a monkey screeching very loudly. He walked over to the fireplace and grabbed the fire poker and swung it at the TV. The TV smashed to little bits. He dropped the fire poker on the ground. He then also went to his knees. He began to sob quietly and softly. Then somehow the front door opened. James Morin was in the doorway. Mike turned around quickly and his eyes got wide. James stood there staring at Mike and said “I warned you about this house” The James turned around and slammed the door shut. Mike rushed up and ran for the door. But when he got there it was already shut. He started to bag and punch the door like crazy. He walked over to the fire poker and picked it up. He went to the door and tried smashing the door open. Nothing, nothing worked he was never going to get out of this house. Then he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. He turned around and the wall that separated the upstairs from the down stairs was blocking the face of the man walking down, but Mike already knew whom it was. It was the man with the claw hammer it was Mikes turn to die. He walked closer to the stairs and he saw the man’s hands come down and one of the hands held a hammer. Mike started to back up when he bumped into something. Mike turned around and there, his wife, and two daughters were hanging with a noose around their neck. Mike yelled and ran the other way. He ran into the kitchen and there was no blood, there was just food on the table. The only blood was the one in the glass cup, the one single drop of blood that fell from the hammer. Mike sat in the chair and stared at the glass with the blood in it. Then he got up and turned around. The hammer man was standing there in front of his family’s bodies. Mike’s eyes looked sleepy and drowned out. His wife and two kids really kid kill them self. The image of them getting killed was just another reason for me to kill myself, Mike thought. Mike grabbed the fire poker and walked over to the hammer man. He swung the fire poker and the poker went right threw him. But then somehow, the man hit him in the side of the head with the hammer. Mike fell to his knees and then jumped forward to tackle the hammer guy. He went straight threw him. Mike couldn’t take it anymore he was starting to freak out. He jumped up and started swinging the poker widely. He didn’t stop until he reached the kitchen. He then grabbed a big chair and smashed the kitchen table with it. He then turned around and threw the chair across the room. It hit the door and smashed completely. Mike grabbed at his hair and started to pull some of it out. He walked back to the fireplace and looked at the painting and for some reason there was a pirate ship of some sort floating in the ocean. The painting was moving the boat was rocking back and fourth. Mike walked back over to the broke chair by the front door, and picked up one of the chairs legs. He then walked over to the painting wand swung the chair leg at the painting. But before it got there, the water from the painting broke out and smashed into Mike. He fell backwards and hit his head on the metal table and it smashed. He kept on rolling until he hit the wall. He was drowning, and he had to get out of it quick. He could feel himself going deeper and deeper into the water. Then somehow he was back in the house, just like that he back in the house. Standing there staring at the TV. The TV was blank so he didn’t know why he was staring at it. But then suddenly a picture popped up. It showed Mike putting a noose around his wife and two daughters neck. Mike turned around sharply and couldn’t believe the TV. But when he turned around his wife was lying on the couch. He walked over to her and grabbed on to her. “Jenny, Jenny are you awake?” Her eyes opened and stared at Mike. “Oh my honey, I cant believe what happened in my horrible dream. I remember seeing it all. But couldn’t do anything about it. A man of some sort was hanging the kid’s and me. We died but I could see everything. I even saw you honey. I saw you try to fight that man. But don’t worry honey, you will be just as dead as I am at the end of this” Mike’s wife clamped on to his shoulder and pulled him closer to her. He pushed her off of him and back away. Then her body slowly drifted away. Mike dropped to his back and lay there thinking of how he could have stopped this. When suddenly somehow walked up to him and said “You couldn’t” He snapped around onto his knees and the man with the hammer was standing there. He swung his hammer and Mike ducked. Mike jumped backwards and ran for the kitchen. Then he remembered something. This house had an alcoholic cabinet. He ran over to it and opened it up he got out a bottle of whiskey. He ran over to the cloths cabinet and grabbed one of those out. He slipped the cloth into the bottle and grabbed a lighter out of his pocket. He walked over to the living room and the hammer man was standing there staring at Mike. Mike glared right back. Then Mike broke the silence and said “If I’m going down, your coming with me” He lit the cloth in the whiskey bottle and threw it at the hammer man. It hit in front of him and he got fire suddenly. Then Mike walked over to the kitchen and saw a pack of Marlboros. He took one out and lit it. He took one drag and walked in front of the living room. The whole living room was on fire. The hammer man was moaning for help, “Go to hell” Mike yelled. Once he was down with the cigarette he flipped it in the fire. When the cigarette hit the fire the room exploded, and the whole house caught on fire. With Mike Slim inside of it.
Epilogue
Firefighters slammed open the door to 1305 Handler Street. There on the ground was Mike Slim coughing and for some reason laughing his head off. He didn’t stop laughing until the firemen brought him out of the house and lay him down on the grass. The firefighters were about to go back in when Mike grabbed his uniform and said, “Don’t go in that house. Its evil” Mike Slim was rushed to the hospital and was patched up. He went home after a month in the hospital. Mike was sitting in his new house and his lawyer was there with him. “Listen Mike, you have talked to many counselors. Everything that you claimed happened in that room didn’t happen.” Mikes lawyer, Clint Jenkins, said. Mikes lawyer was walking around with a box in his hands. Mike looked up and dragged a box over to him. Mike pulled out a box of stuff they found in the house once the fire was out. Mike put his hand in the box and pulled out a videotape. He slipped the tape in the VCR and pushed play. Clint stopped walking and stood there with the box in his hands watching the TV. A picture popped up of the hammer man hanging his wife and two kids. Then it switched to Mike looking at the TV, and the hammer guy swing his hammer at Mike. Mike turning around and looking scared. Then it switched it James Morin opening the door and saying, “I warned you about this house” Clint dropped the box with his mouth wide open and his eyes also wide open. Mike looked at Clint and said “The stuff that happened in that house was real, Clint. That house was supposed to kill me Clint. I was supposed to die in that house. I am the only one who made it out alive. Clint, That house is still out there. Their going to remodel it and someone else is going to die in that house” Then Mike’s door opened and James Mori walked in. “Very impressive, Mr. Slim. But too bad you just finished level one. Time for level two” Suddenly Clint jumped up and tackled Mike. Mike closed his eyes when he fell to the ground and when he opened them he was back in the house on Handler Street. Standing in the middle of the living room, staring at the TV.
I’m sorry dude. From what I read I wasn’t that impressed. I mean it wasn’t terrible, but it just didn’t cut the mustard for me as far as original and heartfelt writing. Maybe I am biased. I haven’t read 1408 or any Stephen King book since I was in sixth grad, nor am i at all familiar with them. And I really don’t understand what you are trying to achieve by taking someone Else’s novel, namely a Stephen King novel, and water it down. I know I sound like a jerk right now, but basically I am just trying to say is that you would be a really amazing writer if you wrote some of your own pieces. Just go off on a tangent for us, please. I actually really would like to read some of your writing.

I’m looking for a summer vacation rental at the jersey shore (new jersey) and wanted to know the best way to find one?
You can start by going to top local rental sites such as www.JerseyShoreVacations.com and www.JerseyShoreRentals.com where rental owners and realtors can list ther rentals for only $9.95 a year, much less than any other rental listing website… and have the ability to look a pics, availability, detailed descriptions and more, or you could spend hundreds of hours calling all 172 broker agencies along the Jersey Shore to find the one perfect rental for your summer vacation. Most smart renters utilize the internet first, then go oldschool after all other options have been tried.
We were on vacation in September and in our travels we heard how expensive the housing is on Oahu. I got to wondering why there are no mobile home (trailer) parks or pre-manufactured homes used in Hawaii. I inquired but no one seemed to have a definite answer. Is it a code thing or the islanders don’t like the look or what. I know here in PA we have them and they stand up to the storms we get a good as stick built housing. Just curious. Seems like you could greatly reduce your housing costs. Or did I just not see them?
Like some others said, zoning restrictions and state/city policies keep trailer parks from getting erected. Occasionally you see trailer homes, but obviously without the parks, it’s quite pointless. Plus, it would just look plain ugly in Hawai’i, and it’s not like the islands are huge either. I mean seriously, you can buy a mansion and property in Washington for the same cost you buy only the lot in Hawai’i. Bottom line though, there’s nowhere to build/fixate them without it looking ugly or out of place (Sense of Place).
As for pre-manufactured homes, there actually are a few of these in Hawai’i, as they are cheap and can be moved easily. But then again, this is "affordable housing" and although its cheap, I’m pretty sure it cost an arm and leg to have it shipped to these islands in the middle of nowhere.
ps. visit Tracks by power plant leeward side next time you come. you’ll probably see some trailers and movable houses. not to mention some awesome sunsets and views.
hope this sorta answered your questions.

I won a vaca for 2 nights. I know this is not long enough to fully enjoy everything there is to see but I am still planning on using the voucher. It comes with airfare and hotel accomodations. Has anybody used one of these things? What kind of hotel/motel do they stick you in?
Are you sure it’s not a scam. And yes two nights isn’t a long time to see and experience the island.
we are looking for a great family vacation rental for 10 people in july
Check out Wailaia….. there are some incredible beaches on that side of the island.. along with great shopping, golf and restaurants. Youre likely to find a rental house for 10 there…
Is October high or low season? Will it be crowded? What will the weather be like? We plan to travel with 75+ yr olds and a 9 yr old, we are in our 30′s. We plan to get a package that includes air, hotel & rental car, any tips?

U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon said the Federal Emergency Management Agency failed to adequately explain why it ended the 18-month housing assistance program for people who lost their homes in the 2005 storm.
~~And now for the fraud some commited against the taxpayers~~
To dramatize the problem, GAO provided lawmakers with a copy of a $2,358 U.S. Treasury check for rental assistance that an undercover agent got using a bogus address.
The government doled out as much as $1.4 billion in bogus assistance to victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, getting hoodwinked to pay for football season tickets, a tropical vacation and even a divorce lawyer, congressional investigators have found.
Prison inmates, a supposed victim who used a New Orleans cemetery for a home address, and a person who spent 70 days at a Hawaiian hotel all were able to wrongly get taxpayer help, according to evidence that gives a new black eye to the nation’s disaster relief agency.
Federal investigators even informed Congress that one man apparently used FEMA assistance money for a sex change operation.
The bad thing about this, really there are still alot of innocent people that are displaced, looking for jobs (in which our state doesn’t have because the economy and crime is so high), and have no permanent place to call home. I have a family that lives down the street that lost everything because they lived in St. Bernard parish, and can’t find the same paying job in our parish….so they are still living in a pop-up camper.
It was disgusting that these people were doing all these things with the FEMA card (some even bought wide screen TVs while they were in the Cajun Dome for a shelter!) because of this abuse there are still hard working people out there that don’t deserve to live the way they have to.
I want to start a sea kayak rental business in Hawaii where I rent about 4 or 5 kayaks off the beach for $20 an hour. Does anyone know if I could just pull up my kayaks onto any public beach and start renting them? I know about 30 years ago I probably could have done this with no problem, but in todays world of excessive government rules and regulations that stifle business growth and development I’m sure there are a bunch of hoops I would have to jump through to realize this dream. If anyone could provide good information regarding starting a business such as this in Hawaii it would be appreciated.
First create a basic business plan. Example: at $20.00/hr how many rentals do I expect to have in one year. What will the kayaks cost me to buy and to maintain during the year. What are my other costs; permits, advertising, liability insurance (a top priority), etc. How much competition is there in my area.
Work the numbers and see if you can make a profit…if not, why bother. Don’t forget to consider seasonl fluctuations.
I’m looking for condo or home vacation rentals in Orlando for cheap for under $150 for during christmas and new years, I’ve been checking out ebay and sky auction.
Try Vacation Home Rentals. They have a lot of rentals available – not sure about pricing .. see below
In places like Key West, Hawaii, or anywhere???
A vacation home for you, might be a home for someone else. I have bought a number of properties and one way is to go online and open up FHA, VA, etc. foreclosures. You need to be aware of certain areas and search out if they might be in an area or zone that attracts leisure seeking buyers. I am presently working a contract in the upper Rocky Mountains of Colorado (temporarily). I discovered by accident a nice, quaint, little home that the owner was simply going to let get foreclosed. After a little discussion, we came to terms and I bought it for considerably less than it would normally cost. When you notice someone having a "Moving sale". inquire about the property. That is how this sale came about. You can buy distressed properties. tax sales etc. for a bargain many times. The only thing that I personally refuse to do is to take advantage of someone just to get their property. If they are forced to sale( for whatever reason) and I am interested, I try to work out an equitable agreement. Life is too precious to be overcome by greed when you are only going to be here for a short time anyway. Soul, I must ask you a question. Have you ever been to Key West? It is not all that it is stacked up to be. Quite honestly, I drove for a whole day(after passing Miami) just to get there. I spent the night ($340.00 for a room), woke up and had breakfast, drove around for about 1 hour (Key West is relatively small) and drove all day getting away from there. It is not an appealing place to live! At least, not to me.
Hawaii, maybe. I went over there after one of the hurricanes that struck back in the 80s. We were off on one of the smaller islands and it was nice, but? If those type of places appeal to you, perhaps you might want to look at Costa Rica or maybe the Caymans or over along the Pacific Rim. I married a wonderful person in the Philippines and we have two homes over there. Prices are very reasonable and it is tropical with some wonderful amenities. Anyway, there it is. I hope that it helps you Soul as you seem to have a wide array of questions coming forth. Ask away though. If I can help, I am very happy to do so. I do hope that you will find all that you are seeking in life. It makes it worth while if you are enjoying what you are doing. Be a little wary though. Sometimes things are not always as they appear. Maybe after reading most all of Dean Koontz novels,"I might be getting a little perky!" Just kidding about that. Life is what you make of it so grab hold and go for the ride!
