Yup, back to the old days. Hawaiian Airlines and Young Brothers are in control again. Take all the shellfish, rocks, plants, mud, or whatever you want as long as you can afford the costs and are willing to wait. By the way, how much fuel is used by that tugboat for the trip from Oahu to Maui or by the jet if it had to take 3 hours to go from Maui to Oahu. And what did it cost the State to put in that new airport a few years back (in terms of today's money)? And, how many of those passengers actually stop in Kahului to shop before zooming off in their rental cars to get to Kihei or Lahaina? And, what are we saving Kahului Harbor from anyway Karen? And Ron, did you ever actually ride the Superferry? Although the jet flight is only 25 minutes or so, my legs enjoyed the legroom. Three hours too long for you? But, you can talk on your cellphone; work on the computer; read the newspaper you work for at a relaxing place; have time to talk story with your fellow passengers; or just take the time to relax to get the stress out of your system. And you could certainly use a little of that. SuperFerry closes down operations - too bad Hawaii.
