Hawaii question
I know this group deals primarily with the mainland but I'm not sure where
else to ask. I'm planning on going to Hawaii and want to stay on Kauai. But I also want to go to Kaanapali on Maui for at least part of a day. Can anybody tell me how hard and how expensive it would be to make that kind of side trip. (Actually, I'd be happy to get to the waters off Kaanapali Beach and don't really care to get on shore so would it be feasible to travel by boat?) TIA Gary |

Hawaii question
Airplane fares are low between the islands, did you check 'em ?

Hawaii question
Thanks for the replies Shawn and Runge11. I have googled and checked out
the air fares interisland. The cost doesn't seem all that bad but the logistics have me concerned. Since spending a little time near Kaanapali is a high priority I'm leaning towards just staying there instead of going to Kauai. I'm only going for about a week and I'd rather relax at one place rather than spending a day traveling interisland. But, if there was a way to charter a boat and sail from Kauai to Kaanapali and back in a day I'd consider that. That'd seem more like a vacation than running through airports and car rental agencies.

Gary, I think you are unaware of the distance between Kauai and Maui--a little over 200 miles (320 km). That's a little far for day trip by boat. Since you really, really want to visit Kaanapali and only have a week, stay in Kaanapali and tour Maui, Lanai, and Molokai. Save Kauai for the next time. Stef |

I like Kauai but there's more than enough to keep you pleasantly occupied on Maui for a week, especially if you allocate a good slug of time for fish watching and lazing on the beach. You should also watch the sunset at the top of Haleakala and perhaps drive to and stay overnight in Hana. There are lots of good day and half-day hikes if you feel energetic, also whale watching at the right time of the year and various cruises around the coast. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

I count lying on the beach and taking an occasional dip in the sea as one of the most productive things to do :-) -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

Hawaii question
Hey, guys! Again, thanks for all the replies. Yes, 200 miles is a bit much
for a day trip by boat. Just a thought. I've been to both Maui and Kauai and I was wanting to go back to Kauai this year. But, something came up that's made it imperative that I get to Kaanapali at least one day. Anyhow, I've decided to just forget about Kauai this trip and spend the whole week on Maui. Hopefully, I can do Kauai some other time. Gary "Lawrence Akutagawa" wrote in message ... "Runge11" wrote in message ... Airplane fares are low between the islands, did you check 'em ?
