anyone know what it costs to ship a 22 lb box of food from pomegranate?

If you are not shipping frozen food, the cheapest way to ship fast is USPS Priority Mail.  They have various size flat rate boxes.  Even the non-flat rate boxes are a good deal.  To ship a 20x20x20 box weighing about 30-40 pounds is approximately 100-110 to Hawaii and it gets there in 3 days.

Overnight I am sure will be quite expensive. I would look into getting food from Oahu Kosher or whoever it is that has kosher food in Honolulu (not sure if they still ship but they used to ship inter island for a 75.00 fee).  If you are on the Big Island, you can get kosher food from Rabbi Chazanow.  Not sure about any other islands.

Why not have them ship it to you, whereever you are leaving from. I'm sure that will be cheaper
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

You sure? I heard there was construction there and you could get stuck in a bad room.

Thanks for the heads up. Did you find the beach at the Westin crowded? Having black rock right in front of the Sheraton will be nice because we like to snorkel. Did you get any room upgrades? I hear the Westin is stingier than the Sheraton about upgrades.

Plenty of room at beach. Black rock is 5 min walk up the beach from westin. Got a weak upgrade from standard 12k spg room to  ocean view low level.

O man, thanks for complicating my decision... I think I'm going to keep it at the Sheraton for now, but will keep everyone updated.

Yeah, I'm wondering about that. Do you think I could do it with a mileage award? (esp. now that I booked the stay as a cat 5 and it's going up to cat 6)
