We have assigned everyone who's staying with us in an Airbnb to a specific room in a shared house, as listed in the document below. Because all rooms & beds are accounted for, please be sure to check which room is yours.
Check-in information for each Airbnb will be given to the person whose name is *starred, so find this person to get you into the house.

Oahu has pretty consistently warm temperatures year round. Daytime in late October is usually in the high 70s up to mid 80s. It can get slightly cooler at night, typically in the mid to low 70s (almost never below 70º).
Attire in general is casual throughout Hawaii: shorts & tee shirts or aloha shirts for men, and beachy dresses, tanks, shorts, skirts or light pants for women.
Pack for hot days and bring just an extra layer or two for cool evenings. A long sleeve shirt is usually enough, but a jean jacket or hoodie that you can layer is plenty. Note that the planes will often be colder than any weather you'll experience here, so keep your warm layers accessible in transit!
We will just be entering into the rainy season but hopefully days will stay fairly dry for most of the island. A light rain jacket can be useful if you want to potentially do jungle hikes or outdoor exploring in rainy weather.
Make sure to bring a hat & sunglasses, a couple of bathing suits, comfortable sandals for the beach & beyond, and sneakers you can walk and hike in (leave the heels at home). Be sure that your sunscreen is reef safe, or pick one up here.
Please bring a reusable water bottle if you have one. Tap water is fine to drink in the Airbnbs.
For the wedding: sundresses or garden party attire for women, and aloha shirts with shorts or pants for men. Flat sandals are recommended ~ we'll be on the grass, and it will be hot!
If you have a layover, I highly suggest packing light and sticking to carry-on bags only.
