Yup, re: non AI, read up on taking taxis (prices, recommended drivers, route). Have lots of 100 j bills. Several hotels/ restaurants will pick you up for free. Seastar will pick you up and return you for free - anytime, not just for their Sat show and not just at dinner. You could go for lunch and hang out at their pool. Cambio on the road in front of Bourbon Beach, Scotiabank ATM in Time Square. You probably know this stuff already...

I had a private driver both trips and stopped at Mega Mart in Mobay on the way. Bought tons of stuff for the week. Munchies, fruit, pop, beer, pkg of small styrofoam plates for my room and plastic beer glasses. Cream for my coffee (for times I didn't use rum cream), etc etc. If you want a cooler for your hotel, you can buy one here. Coffee pots, etc. Spent about $100 for the week and always had left overs to leave for housekeeping. Beer is by the pop in the store, hard liquor is on the exit side of the tills to buy separately. The last trip I wanted to buy my own Lime cell phone and my driver found the Lime desk (right inside Mega Mart) and someone to help me purchase a phone, only $999 j, including SIM and 100j in minutes. Only bought another $200 j in minutes for the week, calling home several times, locally and texting.

You can have your driver take you to Hilo or ValueMaster (Lime store is above it). Or of course, you can walk to Shamrock store on the beach road. I stop in there for one or two things, but for me, I really like to take care of business right away on the way from the airport so I can settle in and relax once I get to the hotel. Phone and drinks, ready to roll!
