While we were there for 12 days in May, it started, then had a TRO issued against it, which was dismissed, then, after two days, had yet another TRO issued. There has been a long and painful fight between the company and two environmental groups. I thought it had been resolved but I haven't followed it. Unless you are using Oahu as your base of operations, inter-island travel is almost always a two day operation. For instance, there is only one flight each way between Maui and Kona. Since Aloha said Aloha, Hawai'ian Airlines prices have stayed relatively flat, but they haven't change the number of lfights, since they don't have the aircraft. There are two non-stops on the days I checked. I checked the day in Oct. we have reservations as one of the days. But even with going through Honolulu, there are a number of flights that are less than 2 hours. I wasn't referring to staying on one island and just taking day trips although we did do that on our first trip. We were on Maui and had an unlimited pass for, I think, 10 days. We went to Volcanoes National Park as a day trip. I really don't like the idea of island hopping on a trip of less than 10 days. It doesn't make sense, time wise. The last time we went, we spent 7 nights on Maui, 1 on Molokai, 2 on Lanai, 4 on the Big Island and 3 on Oahu, not necessarily in that order. Longer than 10 days certainly but with a number of different islands. |

The Saddle Pass road isn't nearly as bad as it was 10 or 12 years ago, but the road to the top gets worse further up. I'll look up who we used and email it to you. They were pretty good, with parkas and an excellent dinner. We watched the sunset from near the summit and then headed down to the visitor station for some serious stargazing through a pair of high power telesopes, one a cat, the other a Dobsonian. Could you post the name publicly? I'd be interested also. Still digging. Sorry for the delay. -- - dillon I am not invalid Hi, I'm Michael Phelps and Olympic Gold isn't the only Gold I'm thinking of.
