An update to the interisland travel. The #2 airline in the State Aloha just filed for chapter 11. This is their 3rd trip into bankruptcy in the last decade or so, and there is a decent chance they may shut down entirely.

Nords is right, as promising as the Superferry looked, it has had some major problems. My roommate took her car (complete with surfboards) to Maui during Xmas and had very good experience. But, reliablity has been an issue.

I'd book interisland flights sooner rather than latter because I think the days of $70 flights will soon be replaced with $200 between the islands.
