Yeah, Mike, you're right, except I left at about 5:30pm on Wed night and arrived in Fort Lauderdale at 10:15pm, so I didn't have time to stop otherwise would have missed the opening night at the Molokai bar. You're right, the Hukilau tickets plus lodging is expensive. At least the quality of the symposiums and the accommodations are very good. As busy as I was, and as hot as it is in June, I did come back home feeling surprisingly rested and refreshed.

With regard to the Kohala Bay, my strategy now will be to see if I can get my local "awesome" store (Riverside Liquors) to special-order some. If they say yes, then I'll check with you first and get some for you as well. If my local "awesome" store cannot order it, then I'll consider a drive down to Fort Pierce and do some kayaking while in the area. That whole area of the coast, anything near and south of the Space Center, has a lot to offer, so I could easily justify the drive by combining it with some other activities. Glad to help you out if I can!
