And don't bother shopping for price either.  Matson has the monopoly on
shipping into Hawaii, much to many peoples chagrin.

Cheers,

Jeff

It's $996 now - to Long Beach.
I shipped my '90 back last June.  It cost $863 outbound (9/02) and
fuel surcharges made it over $900 on the return (6/04).

Someone in Hawaii...

There's a terrific VW shop in Kailua - the street in front is
frequently populated entirely with Vanagons.  I counted nine one
time.  The local VW dealer folded sometime after we moved back to
Texas(6/04).

The rust is a problem, although I was quite surprised at how well our
cars did during the short stay - no apparent rust.  The same cannot
be said for our tools and bicycles.  It's pretty easy to identify the
iron-based parts on a bike after about two weeks.

There are probably more VW vans per square mile on Oahu than any
other place in the U.S..  Now, how can I back up that claim?
