H-130 backup today - sep 5

Laughing Girl - our own organisation looked at car pooling a while back while we still had several staff living in Puna. It turned out to be completely impracticable. Everyone had different schedules and many had schedules that varied day to day and often at the last minute, so no way could we come up with a scheme that worked. Personally, I'd be happy to give someone a ride to Hilo and back as long as they knew the ride to Hilo might get them there any time between 6am or noon and the ride back could be between 5pm and midnight - sometimes later. In general, there are no massive employers in Hilo and Puna is very large, so getting people to car pool on a regular basis between the two places at regular times is almost impossible.


Yes, we are a group of people on somewhat fixed incomes and work from home or retired. We also do not go to Hilo everyday, usually 2 days a week so it does make it easier. After 3 years of doing it which originally was just to save gas money, we have come to enjoy our trips together. We are better now at getting everyone's errands better organized.
