Ok... my Goal... to trade one ride (or round trip ride) to the Honolulu airport from any spot on the island for an Actual Round trip ticket for my family of three to the mainland....

My inspiration:

http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/

Buggah when trade a red paper clip all the way up to a house!

So here's my deal... I know for a lot of people it sucks to leave there cars at the airport and it also sucks to take an expensive taxi...

I offer a free Ride to the airport in favor of what you got??? and then If I don't like that... I trade it on to someone else?

Let's keep this all legal with no money transactions. If the buggah can get a house from a paper clip... who knows what we all might be able to trade up from....?

So what do you have to trade for a possible R/T ride to the airport in my nice Airconditioned car? And if available...also a pick up from the airport?

My offer would have to only be available after normal working hours and weekends....

Let me know??? This sounds interesting... I'm even wondering if the admins of HT will allow this? :eek:

and for the right trades... I take vacation time to get you to the airport! (and you get to choose radio station of your choice;) )

The fun thing here is...

That I don't have to stop just giving one ride... I can give multiple rides....

Still waiting for someone in MWH to offer up a Home cooked meal or something :eek:

and some photographer that will take pics.... or a web person to help with lessons... or a computer person to offer?....etc....

But for now... I waiting for the first thing that I can trade up w/ on my offer to the airport scenario!

The Awa is on the table....

And the ride is always there to trade up again on something else.

So you're offering two things? Kind of breaks from the spirit of the original and now oft-imitated idea, doesn't it?

Manoa is working parallel paths here, putting a couple more irons in the fire, hedging his bet, working the angles, multitasking, LOL.

It was froze right after it was ground (Thus Fresh Ground) Oxymoron being that it is frozen... however, those Awa Drinkers out there know what I'm talking about.

I will be receiving it when I pick the person up from the airport this weekend....and dropping them off in Waikiki. :)
