More the reason to park out at the Honokohau Small Boat Harbor,
although I did learn from Hans Eckhert (former LA County Dive
Instructor, now living in Kona) that the shore dive right here is
quite good. I'm tempted next time to ask Hans to have him show me his
favorite shore diving spots, as he also knows how to do the Manta site
as a night shore dive, and considering how the sites I saw were all
shallow and near-shore, its an easy way to save $100/day per
person...afterall, one has to try to economize somewhere to pay for a
doors-off chopper visit to the Goddess Pele:

Very purty. Do you feel the sting of the acidic vapors up there in
the chopper? On the ground, it makes your eyes burn like a slow-
acting tear gas.

Yeah, I've been eyeing the weather up there like a hawk. I always
told myself I would never fly through Newark in the winter and here I
am, trying to make a flight that only flies once a week...

Try living here :-)

No thanks :)

Like Houston, I've been to Newark several times, but have yet to leave
the airport. Actually that's not true. Once I did fly into Newark,
then take the train to NYC. Never again. And I left the Houston
airport once when we were bumped overnight, traveling all the way to
the airport Sheraton. Good enough for me.

The forecast I heard this AM was for "Sunday afternoon" precipitation,
and checking now for Weather Underground's details, the chance for
precipitation technically starts at 4AM Sunday at 30%, but at 10AM, it
jumps to 70% and with a wind shift from N to S expected by 1PM, so I
think you're safe by a good 10-12 hours.

Fantastic. Even in first, I wouldn't want to spend 11 hours sitting
on the runway like some passengers have suffered there. Unless they
had fully-reclining seats and video-on-demand, of course, but the EWR-
BON leg (737-700) doesn't have either.

Right now L.A. is in a major deluge. It's been pouring all day and I
swear I drove through 2 feet of water earlier. The good news is I got
out of my round-trip to L.A. since it probably would have taken 5
hours. The better news is that it's supposed to clear by tonight so
it won't affect my drive to LAX tomorrow morning.

We're landing, assuming all goes well, just in time to run to
Gallagher's and be seated for a quite decent airport steak. If we
make it, I'll raise a toast to you with a Tanqueray #10 martini and
blue-cheese olives. Someday we'll manage to connect at an airport
somewhere out there...
