Not to derail the thread, but the mention of "not requiring air travel"...You make a good point. Air travelhas become a total nightmare now. Between the security stripdowns, baggage restrictions, extra charges, 911 paranoia and the downright surliness of the Airline employees, creating a paradise within driving distance MAY make a comeback. I can't tell you how horrible the airline employees were this entire trip...it really sucked. It's like they are all in "F*ck You" mode now....right out of the box....just NOT service oriented at all. The check in people, the security people, the flight attendants (ESPECIALLY them)...all of them...they just sucked. The friendly skies are D E A D ! If Hukilau had not been the insane fun weekend that it was, these creeps may have spoiled my trip.
