We are coming up on 2 weeks to go, hope everyone is packing...perhaps I should repost the suggested list of items to take...hmmm...I'll have to find that...
I contacted a company that provides airplane charters from Oahu to the Big Island (Hilo Airport). Through my local contact we are able to save a little...here is the deal...Charter to the Big Island for $2644.50 (tax included). Normally upon arrival at Hilo there is a $215 per hour "wait" charge. The company has waived the "wait" charge for the first two hours for us. The charter aircraft can hold 8 passengers...I don't know if anyone is interested but they need 50% down and the balance 3 days prior to flight...it seems a little out of our budget...but I thought I would pass on the info just in case...
I found the list of stuff to pack, here it is:
Waterproof sunblock
Two bathing suits
Shoes - flip flops, trashable sneakers, reef shoes, hiking shoes if you need them
Mask, snorkel and fins...although you can rent these
Camera
Junk clothes for biking, hiking, ect.
Light rain jacket
Mosquito repellent, lotions recommended over liquids
Shorts and other cool cotton clothing
Fanny pack
Cheap simple backpack
Hat or cap
Today's word in Hawaiian is `ohana [oh hah' nah] it means family.

Today is June 7th:
Dad has 2 trips to Jackson planned before we leave.......how many trips does anyone else have? A few I guess.....I was trying to organize a conference call....Do we have anything to talk about? I guess Not!
i don't guess a conference call is needed as nobody has suggested that we need anything... if any trips come up for me they are not planned at this time...all i know is that i have 6 days of work left before we leave...
I have a one-dayer to San Fran on Monday, then NYC Wed-Friday this week.
