Default Aloha Hawaii

Been here since Sunday on a work trip and now stuck at the airport.

Been on four islands and 12 different planes this week....this stuff gets old.

People drive slow as hell here and the cars are small. Also, I think that 80% of the countries V-6 Mustang Verts are on these dam islands. Holy hell, they are all over the place. I did not know there were that many.

The funny thing is people are like "hey, look at me. I am cool cuz I rented a vert Mustang" then they realize everyone has one. It is funny to see the Japanese and the Chinese drive them. They are truly in their glory.

I think that is my favorite Island. It is where they filmed Jurrasic Park.

Where did you stay?

yea, that was my 5th time to hawaii and first time to Kauai and its the best by far. You're right about Jurassic park being filmed there along with king kong, mighty Joe Young, Six days Seven nights, and someother ones i can't remember. Truly an amazing place to say the least. I stayed at the Kauai marriot about 5 mins from the airport. Beautiful hotel. hbu?

One of the reasons I asked is because we just got all the Marriott business on the isalnds. I was on that property the other day working with the engineering staff and providing training for them. Very nice place.

I've been there 3 times. Actually the first time my family and I went, we won the trip. 100 tickets, 100 bucks each, and my dad won haha. Been there twice after that. First time we went we stayed in Honolulu for like 3 days, then went over to Maui for 4 on Kanapali Beach. We stayed and the Hyatt Regency Maui. We have stayed there the other two times we went alo. I think that its by far the most beautiful hotel in Hawaii besides the four-seasons. Simply amazing.

I did not see any Mustang cops, actually, I did not see many cops at all.

BTW, if it was a Marriott, I was probably there. As far as the Four Seasons on Maui, I did not get a chance to see it, but I hear it is great.
