"I've, been caming here for five years," she continued, "and 1 wouldn't stay anyplace eisc." This pert return visitar ta Hawaii was telling new- found frîends about a small inexpensive hotel 'off the beaten path in Waikiki. Large tour packages have pared the cast af a vacation -in Hawaii, making. it possible for mill ions ta sec the Islands. RBuÉ some people preter a less struc- tured, vacation and a slow- er pace, ýyet hesitate be- cause thcy've heard Hawaii is ex pensive. Although Hawaii bas its share of lavish hotels and posh restaurants, it isalso a goidmine of bargains in lodging, tood, transporta-, tion, sightseeing, entertain- ment and recreational taci- lities. There are many small *hotels, apartmernts and con- dominiums tram one ta five blocks trom the beaches in Waikiki. They run the ga- mut from charming ta con- ventional and can be rated fair ta excellent. Many have kitchens. Most are without fuiis and. special services; some do not have telephonesor maid service. Nýot as elegant as major hotels, they are comtort- able, private and afford- able, and the money saved can more than pay for a rentai car., As Hawaii is. a popular year-round vaca- tion spot, it is wise ta make reservatians for aIl accom- modations well in advance. Food in Hawaii *is de- liciaus and exotic, retlect- ing the rich, cultural diver- sity of the island peaple. It doesn't have ta be expen- sive. A $3.00 meai' in a small family restaurant can some ' imes rival highly ad- vertised haute cuisine cast- ing four ta five- times as much. Fresh island fruits arc served everywhere. Pa- paya and pineapple at lunch caunters costs less but tastes the samne as that served in hotel dining roams. There are hundreds of restaurants with a wide range of prices, fast food chains, open air stands and even tood trucicu along the beaches that serve hot plate' lunches. Budget- mindcc travelers know that eating the main meal at midd-day oftcn provides the same food served for the evening meal at a much highcr price in many good catch anc of Hawaii's many colortul festivals. There are also interesting and his- toric sites ta visit, many of which are free and most can be reachcd by The Bus. m Yýou1 may take the Navy's courtes y boat- out. into Pearl Harbor and visit the Ariz ona Memarial; tour the National Memorial Cemetcry of the Pacitic in Puncbbowl Crater; view the city and Honolulu Har- bor tram the top of Aloha Tower; walk around the lolani Palace grounds and, on Fridays,ý listen ta the Royal Hawaiianï Band tram mv the Palace bandstand.

Cor- porate relocation in- volves the transfer of emplayees across Canada by major asso- ciations. Corporations bire third party reloca- tion campanies, usually associated with real estate brokerage,. ta handle the buying and sligof employee bouses. There bas been a gr- owing reluctance of em- ployees ta accept trans- fers, mainly because of the incanvenience and the casts. Sometimes accepting a transfer means moving ta an area 0f bigber cast bous- ing. In some instances the employee cannat af- tord comparable bous- ing ta wbat be bad owned in bis former location. A 'promotion witb a transfer could. leave an-employee wor- se'off, hardy the intent of bis employer.ý Many ec'orporations give bousing assistance by way of low-interest boans to employees that are transferred ta higher bousing cost areas. The November '81 Federal Budget pro- posed ta tax these low- interest loans as a taxa- ble benefit* ta the em- ployee. After consider- able outcry, the govern- ment has agreed ta phase in this change, aver 1982 -and 1983, but bas refused ta change the basic, intent of the budget whicb is ta tax theselbans. The Conference Board' of Canada reported that in 1980, the average an- nual .salary for em- ployees receiving a low- interest relacation boan was- $30,000. These people hardly qualify as the ricb who are abusing aur tax systein. However, the real lasers will be the Cana- dian people. At a time when we need to encour- age the mobility of labour (a palicy aur governinent bas suppor- ted tbraugh millions of dollars), this saine gavernment bas intro- duced a measure which bas just the opposite impact.
