September 30th, 2011 by OlgaCLASSIFIEDS: 26-inch range FOR SALE
September 21st, 2011 by OlgaHello folks! If anyone is interested in the original Ilikai range, in the original beautiful Ilikai turquoise color, here is your chance! It is the original, rare-to-find 26-inch width. In top condition and works flawlessly. If interested, please e-mail me (olga@ilikaiowners.com). As you (may or may not) know, they do not make stove/ranges in that width any more. GE actually makes (only) one version, but it is ugly and over $1,000. So the Ilikai’s 26-inch stove would be a total bargain.

Sunday “fraternity-sorority” parties at Waikiki EDITION Hotel
December 19th, 2010 by OlgaApparently, the Waikiki EDITION Hotel has been hosting large lively parties on Sundays. Below is a video of one such party posted by someone on YouTube:
I live on another side of the Ilikai, so don’t get to witness these events. But I’ve read written accounts of those by Ilikai owners. Quite graphic descriptions, with comparisons to fraternity and sorority type of parties. Apparently, noise and other related issues are becoming a contentious area.
P.S.: For those not familiar with The Ilikai and Waikiki Edition history: Since they were built, for over 40 years, they were one entity, part of one and same The Ilikai Hotel, until a couple of years ago.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Union workers continue their strike (October 2010)
October 17th, 2010 by OlgaThe Hilton Hawaiian Village Local 5 Union workers are continuing their strike. The strike started at 4 AM on Thursday, several hundred workers.
It is amazing how Hilton manages to downplay negative publicity in the media. E.g., they had drownings in that area, including at the Lagoon, in the last several years. Yet the media coverage of this was next to none.
Likewise re this strike. Here is an article in yesterday’s Star Advertiser about the Hilton strike. But no updates in today’s paper. In the newspaper and other media Hilton presents it like it is no big deal. They gotta be kidding. That strike is massive, all day long. The loud chanting etc started before 6 AM on Thursday. You could hear it probably a mile away. All day long. Yesterday the strikers started just past 6 AM and finished at midnight. It is amazing to read that the Hilton management says that they would not give discounts to their guests.
An update as of October 18: Today the Hilton workers continue their strike. Their contract with Hilton expired this past summer. Their concern is what they see as Hilton’s effort to lock them for several years into a “recession contract.” They are also pointing out that the Hilton company got $180 million in federal stimulus money.
For The Ilikai: it was very loud for us on Thursday, but not any more because the strikers are on the other side of the Hilton complex.
