We found a house with a month to month lease and I've been working on getting the right money to the right person but that right person isn't making it terribly easy.
He told me to send a check for the deposit and 1st month's rent. I asked him who should I make it out to and where should I send it. He didn't respond but all his emails have a link to the realty company at the bottom so I checked their site.
I sent the check to the company at their address. A few days alter I find he doesn't actually want the check sent there. He wants it sent to this new address. Fine, canceled original check for $25 fee and cut a new one to the new address this time with $14 fee for express mail to guarantee next day delivery. A few hours after that's done he writes me that the check needs to be made out directly to him, not the company.
Three checks have been mailed so far. None of them valid.
It's Friday, we're supposed to move in on Sunday.
It doesn't help that he lives on another island or that he went on vacation for a week while he was waiting for the check.

Surfing
There are a brazillian websites devoted to the best beaches in Hawaii. I'm just starting to learn to boogie board and I've found two beaches that have the waves for it near Hilo. First is Richardson's Beach and the second is Honoli'i. Richardson's is the most well rounded of any of the beaches I've been to. It has snorkeling, wading, sun bathing, a grill, showers, and waves for body boarders. Even has a small beach for kids to play in. If you're in a group with mixed interests regarding a beach, Richardson's is the place to go.
The only down side to body boarding at Richardson's is that in the middle of the wave break there are a few big rocks. During high tide you can only see them as a wave goes past. There's intimidating and you don't want to get caught on a wave headed towards them. It happened to J and I and it was pretty scary stuff. We made it with only a few scrapes.
Honoli'i is a famous beach for surfing. It's about the only thing you can do there, the beach is mall and full of rocks. The surf is outstanding. It's perhaps not the best place to learn to surf as there is always a crowd and the waves can get pretty big if you don't know what you're doing (like me).
Both beaches are within biking distance of Hilo.
