Miami doesn't have the beauty of Hawaii.

Flying 11 hours just to see HNL?

yes.
have any of you ever seen the beauty of Oahu? everyone thinks Oahu is just wakiki beach

Oahu is beautiful if you leave HNL. Most people just never leave HNL.

Still, not as beautiful as the other islands. But flying to another island for 5-7 hours is just dumb.

Hey all! Staying on TBI from 8/9 to 8/12. Going to be in the Fairmont Orchid and Marriott in Kona.

Renting a Toyota RAV4 or similar. Can anyone advise if this is sufficient to drive on any of the unpaved roads/sand on the island?

Thanks!

When I checked yesterday, LAX-KOA had tons of AA award space in both Y and J.
This hadn't been the case when I have checked over the last several months.

2nd Edit: This is because of the recent protests on Mauna Kea against the new telescope being built.

I spoke to my buddy on the BI. He says the protesters are still there so the visitor center is closed. He also said that the protesters have made access to Mauna Kea difficult for the past few months.

The results from the first semi official Big Island chocolate babka competition are in and Greens unanimously won over Gombo's. Dan knows what I'm talking about.

Gombo's babka or kokosh?
