I am considering re-diagnosing my teen autistic child.
Please let me know if you know of a Clinical Pycologist or Psychiatrist
who specializes.

Also, my PCP referred me to
LD-ADHD Center
Oahu Psychological Services
Malama Pono Autism Center
but I don't have much information. I was wondering if anyone who knows how it went when I took the test there
could tell me about the process.

If you have any other information, please let us know.
If it is not too much trouble, I would be happy to receive your e-mail.

Long lines at Hawaiian Airlines

Thank you for your interest.
I will be returning to Japan temporarily to Kansai Airport by Hawaiian Airlines in the summer.
When I returned to Japan last month, I arrived at the airport
about 3 hours before boarding time, but the check-in line was unbelievably long
and there was hardly any time to spare.
It is very depressing to think of standing in that line again.

There is a check-in machine at the end of the line, but
nobody was using it.
Is that one unavailable?
Also, is there any way to get around that line, like using a paid porter service or something?
If anyone has any information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

I used this service in mid-April to Japan arriving at Narita.

I arrived 3 hours before the flight and had to wait in a long check-in line. .....
I was told that the reason for the long line was because the same counter was used for Haneda flights departing earlier than Narita flights.

The machine is at the same counter. The machine finally gave me a ticket after 3 tries. My husband stayed on the line and I went to the machine, and when it didn't work after two tries, I was worried about giving up, but on the third try I got it. !

An American ? looking person was also struggling, but he looked like he could manage.

There were a few Japanese who tried to check in using the machine, but gave up and returned to the line.

By the way,
my husband's passport was accepted easily from the beginning, but my passport was out twice.

And as for checked baggage,
we were told to take our paper tickets to the "ticketed counter".
I showed the ticket flier and the attendant called me to come over.

I left the long line safely, but this time the checkpoint was so crowded that I was just in time to board.

The familiar faces in the long line around us boarded the plane, gasping for breath... I wondered if the people further back in the line had boarded ? but I couldn't tell.

By the way, Hawaiian Airlines has a plane in the domestic area, so even if I check in at international flight, I have to move to the domestic area after all.

For your information....

Thank you for the useful information!
I see you tried the machine,
I see some light now.

Last time I returned home alone, but this time I have a companion
so I will have one person wait in line just in case, and a few others will try
the machine.

By the way, as of last month, the Hawaiian baggage checkpoint was
moved to the international end of the
terminal at Domestic (Interisland).
It used to be the farthest opposite end, but
now it is closer.
So after checking in at the international terminal, it is not too far to go to
the baggage check point at the domestic terminal.
When I used this terminal, it was relatively quiet and I could go there easily.

I will share the information here again
for your reference when I return home this month.
Thank you all.

I checked with the Hawaiian ground staff before,
the kiosk machine can be used if you have a Japanese passport.
If you approach the counter and ask for your checked baggage when there is an opening. The company will be happy to help you.

After attaching the luggage tag issued by the machine,
I usually go to the back of the counter and ask for a gap between customers and clients to deal with,
completing check-in in a flash.

TSA can be entered from anywhere, so it is one way to find an open space and use it.
Note, however, that the TSA PRE-only entrance is only accessible if you are eligible for it.
Incidentally, the Interisland Terminal should not accept check-in for Japanese flights.

Mr. Elephant

Thank you for the information !
I see that it is possible to check in at the machine if you have a Japanese passport.
I heard that you can also check in your baggage by looking at the gap between the time you check in and the time you leave.

I have some hope that we will be able to make it for now.
Thank you all for your information.

Topic.
I am reporting that I recently flew Hawaiian Airlines.

We arrived at Honolulu airport 3 hours before boarding time.
The check-in line was not very long, but it took about
30 minutes to be called to the counter
from the beginning of the line.

Actually, I first tried to check in at the machine, but
I got an error
no matter how many times I tried to enter the number of pieces of baggage to check in, so I asked the agent there
who managed to get my boarding pass, but …
the agent continued to check me in. The agent continued to operate the baggage check, but the error continued
.
And finally, the baggage tag could not be produced by the machine
and I was told to get in line for check-in ….
I had no choice but to get in line at the end of the line …
However, another person who was operating the machine next to me had a boarding pass and
baggage tag, so it seems that there are cases where you can check in
without any problem.

I was not satisfied with the result, but
there are more counters than before, and
the line seems to be getting better, so
I guess it is acceptable at least for now.
I don't recommend it for people with children or the elderly, though.

This is a late report on the current status of Hawaiian Airlines
.
I would like to make an earnest request to Hawaiian Airlines
so that I can check in by machine without any problem.

Thank you for reading this long report.

Married in Hawaii in 2020. We received our marriage certificate in Hawaii and we are married in Japan.
However, my husband has been having problems with women for many years and was issued a VISA last week, but we want a divorce.
So I have the following questions. I would appreciate it if you know or can help me.
・ If my husband is currently in California, should I file for divorce in California ? or in Hawaii ?
・ I read that if I file for divorce in Hawaii, I need to live in Hawaii. ?
・ I have been married for 3 years and have no children. I don't want any money from him, but I would like to cut the divorce costs in half. ?
・ I would like to know if there is a good lawyer.

I have been researching on my own, but my knowledge is still limited, so I would appreciate any advice from someone with more knowledge.

The Japanese person in charge at the accounting firm I have been using for my personal Tax Return for 7 years has quit, so I am planning to look for the next place.
I am still in the process of researching which one is reliable.
But I want to tell the existing accounting firm that I am terminating my continuance now.
I have completed all payments and such for 2022.
So they are going to write something called a Termination letter, but I haven't found the next place yet, so I'm having trouble figuring out how to tell them. I don't know the process.
Anyone with experience please tell me how to write a termination letter.
Thanks in advance.

We recently moved to Hawaii.
My 5 year old daughter will be enrolled in Kindergarten this fall.
In Japan, she attended English conversation lessons once a week but speaks very little English.
In this case, would it be better to send her to a school with ESL? ? I was thinking that since she is still in kindergarten, it may not be necessary, but I would appreciate your advice since there are no other people around who are in a similar environment.
Thank you !

I'm currently in the middle of a divorce, but it's too late anyway.
Let's wait and see what the other person will do.
Time is passing and it seems to be getting worse and worse.
I've talked to a lawyer, but he hasn't given me any advice on what to do, and I want to end it right away.
I don't know if this is how it is with lawyers.
I'm looking for a lawyer who can be more aggressive and reassuring
in making arrangements. Anyone know if you have used one yourself or
heard about them ? or even if you have heard rumors about them?

If it's before the birth, are you talking about maternity photos ?
If the birth is coming up in a few weeks, I don't know if you can get an appointment, but have you checked out The Vibe in Ward ? I just contacted them and asked someone I know for photos, so I didn't actually use them. They also do newborn photos there.
You might try to solicit a hobbyist photographer to take photos for you on this Vibe Navi.

I applied for Medicare but was not approved because I am short a few more credits and because of my status (E visa). I have lived in the U.S. for 18 years, although I have to have lived in the U.S. for the past 5 years. I have paid my taxes and was told that some people have been approved for the same visa.
I can appeal within 60 days if I disagree with this result, but I will be returning to Japan for more than 2 months for medical treatment. If anyone knows of a specialist who can help me with an appeal in this type of case, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Tax Man was kind enough to write to you earlier.
Below is a quote from Tax Man's advice.

> I have a client who has US citizenship but is not eligible for Social Security
and is currently back in Japan and in a Japanese hospital.
He was an investor and did not work for a company, so he did not pay Social Security or
Medicare, so when he reached the age to apply, he could not receive the benefits because he did not pay enough
to qualify.


Tax payment has nothing to do with it. All investors pay taxes.
You are only eligible for Social Security and Medicare if you have the same VISA as the person
whose VISA you are, but he or she has paid Social Security and Medicare properly.

In Japan, people who have not paid their pensions or who have less than 10 years of pension eligibility are ineligible for
benefits.

If you do not have enough credits, you cannot receive the pension.

It's strange that you insist so much
when you can only get the bare minimum of medical care when you get Medicare.

If you go back to Japan for treatment, medical care is better than in Hawaii, and
the cost of medical care is very reasonable, so I simply wonder why you are so concerned about Medicare.

Why do you want Medicare when Hawaii hospitals are full of misdiagnosis and are the worst ??

I am thinking of doing a fertility test, but I was wondering if you could recommend any hospitals or doctors ?

I have already had blood tests done at my family doctor, and there were no abnormalities in my numbers.
The doctor advised me to ask my acquaintances and look at word of mouth to decide on a doctor for the examination, and I have been researching on the Internet, but I have no clue how to decide.

I am not very good at English, so I am looking for a hospital with an interpreter.
I would appreciate any information you can give me.
Thank you very much.

Hi
I would recommend Fertility Institute of Hawaii.
The doctor is really GOD HAND.
I spent 6 years in Japan and 3 years in another clinic in Hawaii,
repeating from timing method to IVF several times
I spent enough money to buy one luxury car with cash.

Then I heard that someone I knew at Fertility Institute of Hawaii had IVF and her first baby at age 43, so I transferred.
After 10 years of various treatments, I was able to conceive and give birth at Fertility Institute of Hawaii in one session.
His god hands are famous and his culturist, lab, and other facilities
are just not on the same level as others.

We have assistants who can speak Japanese ? and nurses ? who are always with us
and translate for us.
If you are serious about pregnancy and childbirth, I really recommend it.

I don't know if this is helpful, but here is my experience. In my case, there was no fertility test. Maybe I could have had such a test if I had wanted to, but I was just before 40 years of age, so I felt like I was going to try anyway rather than have a test.
Kapiolani Hospital is free of charge, and if you ask for an interpreter when you make an appointment, they will accompany you. I had to go to Kapiolani Hospital twice when I had an examination at a place other than the fertility doctor's office, and the doctor asked me to go there even though I didn't ask him. I was taken care of twice, once by a Japanese person and once by a non-Japanese person who could speak Japanese. The interpreter told me that he would come free of charge if I wanted.
At Kapiolani Hospital, Dr. Kosaka and Dr. Dominguez are famous, and I was taken care of by Dr. Kosaka. He is a pioneer of fertility treatment in Hawaii, but he is quite old. He doesn't seem to be planning to retire yet, but it makes me worry. He is always smiling, but he doesn't talk much and works fast, so the waiting time for appointments is usually short. Also, she never says anything negative or that makes me anxious.
I have heard that Dr.Domingues is a woman and she is very thorough in explaining detailed questions. But I didn't change from Dr.Kosaka because I thought I would change from Dr.Kosaka and when I went to the office appointment it was closed and I distrusted her.
I don't know about other fertility doctors.

In my case, I think my infertility was due to my advanced age and overworking. I was given the baby when I thought I had no choice but to give up because of my age.
I don't think you can get a baby because of this doctor. I think it is important to be able to go to the clinic without any difficulty and to be able to relax. May your wish come true.

Thank you all so much for your detailed comments.
Also, I apologize for not being able to reply to you by the end of yesterday.

#2 Dear IVF birth,
For now, I am hoping to just have a test and depending on that test, I will rethink whether or not to do treatment.
I had never heard of anyone who had undergone FIH, so I am very grateful for that, and thank you for taking the time to post your website. !
I will try to contact Japanese staffs from the Japanese page that you told me about !

#3 Thank you Suna,
for sharing your precious experience with me. My sister is currently in Japan for 3 years for fertility treatment, and she told me that it is getting harder and harder both financially and emotionally. If the doctors and clinics are on such a different level, I was thinking of talking to my sister about it. I am very relieved that an interpreter is there every time and I think I will go to this clinic. !

#4 Thank you for pushing me to go to this clinic
There is a pattern of not having fertility tests ! As you said, I had heard that Kapiolani Hospital is the place to go for fertility treatment in Hawaii ・ I thought that Kapiolani Hospital is the place to go for childbirth, I had heard that Kapiolani Hospital was the place to go for childbirth, but I was a little concerned about the fact that the doctor was very old. I was also troubled by the mixed reviews about the interpreters, but I didn't know much about Dr. Dominguez, so thank you very much for the information. Thank you also for your concern. I am currently stress-free, and I hope that things will turn out well, although it may be with the help of the clinic.

Thank you all so much !
You have been very helpful and encouraging.
Thank you very much !
