Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:42:54 +0000 http://discoversweet.com/?p=4426#comment-3235 I am planning to tie knot with my gf this year. I heard Hawaii is a state that allow same sex partnership/ marriage? it will be great if i can do it on the cruise with hundreds of our les fellows. will it be possible to have a ceremony takes place on the cruise and will it be recognized in Hawaii state? Maybe a group ceremony can be arranged on the same cruise with many other couples and celebrate our big day together. what do u think? I am planning to tie knot with my gf this year.

Even if you ate lunch at Polynesian Cultural Center rather than dinner, it'd be a major stretch. And lunch wouldn't be the "Grand Finale" type evening show. PCC is on the North Shore near Kahuku, so you should budget at least 2 hours travel time from downtown Honolulu and Waikiki in each direction. Definitely do Polynesian Cultural Center the night before, on Friday, and then you could go to the ChemisStry lesbian event Friday night, before relaxing or doing some within Honolulu activities Saturday before boarding the ship. Or you could do PCC upon returning from the cruise. You should budget a whole day for PCC and/or the North Shore and its other attractions (beaches, etc.) simply because of the travel time investment required to get up there and back. There just isn't enough time to do PCC the day of the cruise departure. Ok, hope this helps! Definitely post any of your Honolulu or Oahu questions, and I'll do my best to help. I feel comfortable around lesbians (except tragically not with my vicious aunt) and am grateful and sentimental to and about the various "lesbian angels" that have supported me in the past. 30y.o. honolulu asian american gay boy yearning for a boyfriend.

Thanks, Jerry. It's a fun word. I hear it tastes like paste, which I thought was delicious when I was five. xo Ha ha. Thanks, Jerry. It’s a fun word.
