Wireless APs are around. But they're hard to find in kauai. Don't go where the tourists are; go where the locals are. you'll find loads more there than in the touristy areas.
Also, there are some internet cafes, and many hotels have a computer available for checking email. The Plantation Hale for example (the asian lady at the desk is very nice, but the slightly heavy set guy is a stickler. so keep your time on the computer there to a minimum or they get pissy, i had to use it for online classes, and so i got in a heap of trouble because i took so long.) ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Jim Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2005 06:59:52 -1000 >Dan Craig wrote: >> I know many Southern Californians vacation (and sometimes work) in >> Hawaii, but speaking specifically of Kauai, North Shore, what's the >> WiFi availability and saturation? > >Well, if you're around Kaneohe Bay (different island), there is this 1W >(into 5dBi of antenna) AP hanging on the house. :-) > >> My family has a timeshare in Princeville, and I'm going over Mid-March >> for a couple weeks.
