There's no more space for Something Fishy, once I'm there I want to take some awesome pics.
Dunno if you've seen him, but he barely fits into a J seat. Probably has to curl up to sleep :D

Never saw a pic of him ironically, can he make it up the trail?
If that's what it takes then I'll give him my seat, I want to this happen.
I'm not a frequent poster here, your brother knows me from high school. This much availablity on this route is hard to come by

If SF can book something in J with SQ I'd be in.
Not to say something can't come up by next May, but I'd be booking.

If I lose 30 pounds I think I could ;D

Let me book what's available now (Y out, J in) and we'll take it from there.

The return is just IN1/I1, so he'd have to free up a seat anyway for both of us to book...

But what about not being able to make it to the end? Will an average not exercising person have trouble?

Not a problem for a 6-foot-8 guy - within 30 seconds all light bulbs were unscrewed and we were good to go ;D.
And size 21 shoes IIRC  ;D

I am nervous about this, no doubt. Hardly a specimen of being in shape :(
But being able to have gear boated in and out and only hiking one way makes it doable for me. I hope.

Would love to hear how it compares to Waimea's grand loop hike that I did. Was really rough, but glad I did it before they closed it for good.

While the whole hike is actually 22 miles round trip along the Na’apali Coast, there is an opportunity to do an 8-9 mile round trip to hike to the beautiful Hanakapi’ai Beach, and then a bit farther in to the stunning Hanakapi’ai Falls.

Let me get it out of the way: This hike is a MUST-DO. Definitely one of the prettiest hikes we’ve ever done, and you’d be a fool to go to LIH and not do it. That said, I must admit it was also one of the more difficult hikes we’ve ever done. Warning: Bring lots of water. Leave some gas in the tank for the return portion or you won’t make it. The hike is deceptively hard.

Should go back right away, though it may take a couple hours.

I'd guess everyone booked already except Dan and SF (who it seems are a pair). There is no I inventory left. So idlf it's happening, it's without them
