As per title
I am looking for health insurance for exotic pets.
I would like to know if there are any other companies that deal with exotics other than Nationwide. What companies are available in Hawaii ？?

We will be in Hawaii for about a month this July and are doing a lot of research for a summer school for our 6 year old daughter.
If you have any recommendations for a school, I would be happy to hear from you ！.

Has anyone recently returned to Japan from Hawaii where the parents were not vaccinated and the child was under 6 years old and entered Japan without PCR testing ？

I was told at the hospital in Hawaii that it is safe for children under 6, but I am a little concerned ….

Hello. If the parents have been vaccinated, the child traveling with them is exempt, but if the parents have not been vaccinated, a PCR test is required 72 hours before the flight, as is the case with the parents from the age of 0.
My friend did not know this and brought a negative test report last week, but her 1 year old son was denied boarding because he did not have a negative test report.

When I flew Hawaiian Airlines to Japan in February this year, I showed negative proof for me and my 2 year old son, but my 3 month old baby could enter the country without negative proof.

I sent a letter from Hawaii to Japan.
I sent it directly from the post office on 2/22, but as of 3/6, it still has not been delivered.
How long will it take ？?

Supplemental, it's about a week if all goes well. I suggest you wait at least two weeks.

When I sent it last year before Christmas, it took about 3 weeks.
When I send a package that can be tracked, I like to deliver it once through the mainland US. The package arrives faster than a letter by about 10 days.

My sense is that with letter or card it usually takes 10 ～ 14 days, but if you are unlucky 3 ～ 4 weeks, and rarely 1 week. If you use Registered Mail just to be sure, it usually takes 2 ～ 3 weeks. In the worst case, the mail came back 5 weeks later with a stamp saying "Unable to deliver to destination", even though the address was correct. （ This must be a problem with Japan Post. ） EMS packages usually take about a week to arrive, but they are expensive, so I use Yamato or FEDEX. About the same in terms of time.

Even now that there are direct flights, the mail seems to go through LA.
Even if you send by Priority, the tracking shows it is via LA.

I once sent two letters to the same address on the same day,
the two arrival dates were a week apart.

They should be arriving soon ？.

I'm a little surprised to see someone going through the mainland.
When I send something that can be tracked, as I mentioned above,
it always goes straight to Narita, so I let the recipient know
"I'm there today, so it will arrive tomorrow", or
I give them the number from the beginning and they
tell me it will arrive today. I have given them my number from the beginning and they have informed me that it is scheduled to arrive today.
I know that when it's by sea it goes through the mainland, but
when it's by regular mail, whether it can be tracked or not
it's the same in terms of days.

There have been some very enthusiastic posts recently about preschools, and I have some questions, etc.
I was also considering Central Union, but I was surprised to see how high the admission rate is. How is it decided whether a child is accepted or not? ？ I don't think a 2 year old can take a test, so I wonder if it is determined by the parents' jobs, etc. ？
I would appreciate it if anyone can help me out.

Hello. I took the 3 year old test at Central Union this past January. I wanted to put my daughter in a pre-school (3 year old class ， I was 2 years old and my daughter was born in June and she was much younger than the children born in August/September.
15 minutes only children entered the classroom with about 4 children and parents waited in the church. I asked my daughter and she said they played with toys. We received the results by letter two weeks later. My daughter was lucky to be accepted, but I heard that the ratio was much higher than last year. This year, however, it is difficult because of the high ratio of applicants.

However, I would not send them to Central Union. After all, Central Union only has pre, and Punahou and Iolani don't have very high acceptance rates these days, and everyone seems to be going to Midpac, St. Andrews, and Montessori. Many children are going to Public, and Central Union does not seem to be a feeding school to Punahou and Iolani as it used to be.
Same as Waiokeola these days.

If you want to put your child in public kinder, Central Union is a great place to grow and have a child free atmosphere.
However, if you are thinking about taking the Kinder exam, it would be difficult to do so at Central Union.

Thank you for the details ！ 2 ・ Even 3 year olds are tested or checked. I was surprised to find out that there is a preschool for 3 year olds. ‼️ I just did a search for preschools and found out that there is a school for 3 year olds to get accepted to preschools, which is unbelievable. I am not thinking of taking the entrance exam. I have lived in Hawaii for a long time, but I am completely ignorant about parenting and education, and I only recently found out that Central Union is a pre-school. I thought it was just a regular church. A friend of mine told me that Kaimuki's preschool is also good, so I am considering that as well.

I am having trouble connecting to the Hinabi server, so my response took a while. Is it just me ？ I've been getting a lot of connection errors lately …

There is also a place on the 4th floor of Macy's in Ala Moana that fixes jewelry and watches. There is quite a line on weekends, but it is surprisingly empty on weekdays. They can fix even high-end items.

Dear SJDummy
Thanks to you, I was able to dine in a private room with 8 friends the other day. We happened to be in Ala Moana and went for an early lunch to make a reservation.
Since there were 8 of us and we were going to use a private room at a busy time, I asked for an appetizer and sushi platter for 8 people in advance to make it as easy as possible for the restaurant to accommodate us. The waitress who took our reservation told us that the special menu would take a long time, so we were grateful for the help. Half of the four of us were ready at the time of our reservation on the day of the event, but another car got stuck in traffic and the remaining four arrived less than 15 minutes late. About 5 minutes after our reservation time, a Japanese man who looked like a chef came and asked, "May I serve you a dish since it is your time

This is off topic, but I have found that even in Japanese companies and restaurants, if you expect the same service as in Japan, you may be disappointed or surprised.
But I love Tonkatsu Tamato because the food is of Japanese quality and the service is courteous and friendly.

Is it possible to eat and drink inside the restaurant these days ？?

When I had a meal at the counter of Katsumitori Sushi before, the chef in front of me was opening and closing the door with a bang ！ bang ！ about 4 times a minute, so loud that it made me feel restless and uncomfortable and it was ringing in my ears. I was looking forward to sushi, but I lost interest in it.　I thought he was a crass chef. I would have liked to feel a little more hospitality.

Parking in Waikiki

Problem / Need advice

Hi ！
I work in Waikiki, but I live far from town and I really need to drive to work. And my job has no parking.
And I work an on-call job. Ala Wai and other places are not available every time and I can't be late because I'm in customer service and it's very stressful to find parking every time.

So ！ I was wondering if there is anyone in Waikiki who has a parking space attached to their house but is not using it and would be willing to rent it to me for a reasonable fee. Each workday is from 2 to 4 hours. The number of days also varies, but it is around 10 days.

I could just rent a regular monthly parking lot, but I have a small child and can't work that much, so I don't feel like paying for expensive parking ….

I know it may not be that convenient, but I thought I would write here in case ！

if you have any other good parking information, I would appreciate it ！

Please let me know ！
