Called Bench & Field (they are out of IN) & there are no dealers in Hawaii
Called the ag dept at Hilo Airport & it is OK to bring dry dog food from California to Hawaii. OH about luggage, you may want to skip using real luggage & get shipping boxes that hold the most volume for the dimensions you are allowed to check... nice square boxes usually hold more volume than long narrow (ie luggage shaped) boxes.
You may even want to ship some to yourself (using the parcel post mail if you ship now, it will be in Hawaii in 4-8 weeks...- heck even priority mail flat rate boxes will save you over the internet prices). Maybe work out a supply line with a mainland friend...
