Apple never wanting to make any premature announcement. How they expect to raise any excitement in a tourist market, I do not know. Would anybody out there make plans for a trip to Hawaii in less than ten days. That is, those of you that don't have their own jet. As Apple ceiling are being installed, the Grand Opening should be in June. As the opening is still several weeks away, the “Opening Soon” sign has been painted over.

I used to fly through Honolulu a lot as a crewmember with Pan Am and later with United. We used to layover at the Royal Manor, hidden behind the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Waikiki was still a garden then (the 60s) but then all the high rise cement buildings started going up. Then they built the Royal Shopping Center along Kalakaua Avenue and some of the nicest parts of Waikiki disappeared. I hardly recognize the Center now from Mark's photos. United Crews layover just across Kalakaua Avenue on Seaside Avenue. By the time I flew for United, the Shopping Center had gotten a rundown look with some closed stores and junky shopping. Apple should really help with the sprucing up of the Center! Your ifo Scout, Mark, really put a lot of photos up of the planned Waikiki Apple Store.
