SWAP - leave your beach things (and any other good stuff) for the next tugger

Leaving Pono Kai on Weds for Maui- have boogie board umbrella etc for anyone on Kauai. Always leave things at the "towel check out" area at the Pono Kai for other users. If interested leaving at 7;30am to airport weds Aug 19th.
 
We're at Lifetime in Hawaii (Waikiki) right now and they have a nice collection of items left behind to "play it forward" with other timeshare visitors. We are using beach chairs and boogie boards for our week :)
 
We'll be at Wyndham Wakiki Beach Walk tomorrow (Sept 5)and will gladly take any sand toys. Of course, we'll pass if off to the next Tugger...we're leaving on Sat Sept 12.

Thanks.
 
Leaving food items

Think of all the stuff you have to eat or throw away before you leave. My wife made me eat 10 plums our last day! There are people who get too quesy or I know about food health issues, but wouldn't be nice to inherit a couple of cans of unopened tuna, or a half bottle of rum? I stayed last year in Breckenridge and when we left we had all kinds of food. I just asked around and I gave what I could do a family still there. Wish we could do this in Hawaii. Just think of the sundries or condiments we buy and can't take back. Would love to set up exchamges for tuggers.
 
On the occasions when I've rented from owners I've noted that there are often many more supplies in the whole ownership rentals than in timeshares. Almost all of these are items left behind by previous renters.

When checking into rentals we typically find a reasonable assortment of spices, various oils, pasta, canned goods, sugar, flour, pancake mix, rice, cereals, and even occasional partially consumed bottles of liquor.
 
The units at Maui Hill are fixed weeks and they have what used to be referred to an an "owner's closet". When we were going yearly we'd always check it out to see what we could use (from beach stuff to food). We left several things (like a large spaghetti pot) in there over the years, and usually found them to still be there when we returned.
 
Leaving WKORV - Sunday

Don't have tons, but an inflatable pool toy for a small child, some left over wesson oil, 1/2 a 5# bag of rice.
 
At HHV Lagoon 10/31-11/8/09

If anyone has anything they wish to 'share' as they leave,
we'll be at the Lagoon arriving 10/31 and departing 11/8

thanks,

Aloha,
There is a closet dedicated to "swapping forward" on the west (far) outer wall of the office where you will check in. Just step out the door toward the tennis court, turn right and walk a few steps.

What Jack said - we find great stuff there every year!

One hint - Sat. morning the closet is stuffed full and by Sunday evening, anything good is gone. See what's in the closet and borrow what you want when you first check-in, don't wait, or it will be gone. Just walk around behind the office and you will find an outside door to a closet full of stuff. You don't even have to check it out - just return it before you leave.

Anyone Leaving Anything at Shearwater or Ka'eo Kai?

We'll be at Shearwater Friday November 27th-December 4th. We would appreciate anything being left. Since we check in at the sister resort Ka'eo Kai, we'd be glad to get anything from anyone leaving there also. Thanks!
 
We are at Hilton Hawaiian Village and leaving tomorrow. We have beach chairs and bus passes if someone is arriving tomorrow.

If you don't find anyone to give it to you can leave them with the Bell men in the luggage storage area. When we were there I asked them for "stuff" and they gave me a raft and beach mat, I then gifted it to other people before leaving.
 
We will be in Maui from 1/7-1/18 and would be interested in hooking up with anyone who has any equipment, supplies, food, etc. that they might be able to pass along to us.

On a similar note, we may have some things to pass along at the end of our trip if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Jeremiah
 
Maui Jan 20th

I would love one or two boogie boards, beach mats or chairs and an umbrella if someone is leaving them behind on Jan.20th 2010.
I love the idea of swapping!
I can pass them on also to someone travelling to Maui on Jan 25th if I received anything.
Thanks!

Hi KMiller and welcome to TUG! :hi:

Where are you staying?
 
At Westin Kaanapali North 1/8-1/15

We will be staying at the resort and would love to pick up an Umbrella, a couple of beach chairs, mats and "stuff" if you are there now. Kiddie beach toys would be particularly appreciated. We would be happy to pass them on to other Tuggers who are arriving on the 20th. Kayla-where are you staying? We can leave pass anything we have with the resort staff with your name on it.
